That's pretty smart until you learn that "the thief sells"

Or that "the drunkard urinates on books for fun"

Yeah or what happens when it rains? Or someone drops a book into what appears to be an upper gutter running through the middle of the street?

The image is incredibly misleading. Its an indoor Bazar which is locked at night.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago

Is the gutter locked at night? Also there appears to be a questionably secured window unit air conditioner. Which in the worst case might fall onto a gentle reader. But more likely condensation would drip onto the stack of books below.

Probably not a lot of drunkards where all alcohol is illegal.

it which universe is crime illegal but you don't have a system to catch and punish people because you expect people to be flawless or an agent of circumstance?

[–] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 49 points 2 months ago

Or even "the bored shithead sets fire to things"

In this case it would be they scan it for the Amazon price list and take anything that has a positive rating.
