I saw this article earlier today and realized that I have yet to point out something very obvious. While the article doesn’t make the point, other recent articles about Walmart store closings have pointed it out. Criminals make everything more expensive. Whether it’s rioting, looting, arson, and/or destruction of property that is mostly confined to large left wing hell hole cities, or it’s shoplifting, theft, and other crimes that are common to one extent or another nationwide, criminal actions cause tens of billions in expenses for everyone who is not engaged in crime.
The picture below has a link to a video that includes the screenshot shown. It was hundreds of looters going into a Walmart in Tampa a few years back. Maybe part of the Saint George Floyd “protests”. Who do you think ultimately pays for all the stolen merchandise and the property destruction???
