Ah, perfect, a whole topic of "Whataboutism". He can make all the points he wants. Theft is fucking theft. I don't give a fuck what their BS reasons for it are.

I love it when so called liberal institutions show themselves for what they are: thinly veiled corporate, capitalist propagandists.

Wow. Thought you were talking about Time Magazine. Who the hell calls New York Times "The Time"?

But the NYT has always been shit. Look at this nonsense.

From the twitter thread:
"Second, retail theft is at near historic lows. Corporate wage theft (like these retailers) dwarfs all property crime combined--about $50 billion per year, mostly from the poorest people. These truths are hardly ever told in the pages of the NYT. Ask why."

Theft is wrong, but in the grand scheme of things it's not nearly as bad as ruining a person's life for a lapse in judgement.

Stores stop bothering to call 911 over shoplifting because its pointless, most times theyre long gone by the time police show up and if theyre caught its still just a misdemeanor because its usually less than $950. And even if theyre caught multiple times and the total value eventually exceeds $950 it still doesnt matter because the charges dont stack into a felony.

If retail theft is really down then part of the reason (Im not saying the sole reason) would be the lack of reporting.

Also most instances of shoplifting are just an item or two that are inexpensive and goes by unnoticed at the time. The employee just corrects the on-hands for an item when its noticed that theres some amount on the shelves missing or empty packaging is found. Its not worthy of a police report.

EDIT: This in regards to California, not nationwide.

The article brings up the point that many states have increased the dollar amount stolen of what constitutes a felony. But wouldn't that just be keeping up with inflation?
