I swear I just saw a post where a shop in Oakland claimed to have closed over shoplifting and it was actually because they were sued by their workers.

One of the big drug store chains was claiming they closed 9 stores because of theft, definitely not because they're over saturated and maybe we don't need 3 of them on every major intersection.

I drive 25 miles to work, and pass 4 Dollar Generals. Plus a DG Market that's now being built.

I notice money isn’t going into retail wage theft at the same time. Doesn’t this cost the people and the government money? Shouldn’t the government be going after corporations?

liberal governance serves the interests of capital, not workers. if strikes and riots pick up, they'll eventually throw us a bone and then take it away once we stop paying attention.
