    …As you pass by 5 people at self-checkout doing tactical shoplifting.

        Also Remember, stealing from publically traded corporations is stealing from sociopathic thieves that have no problem hurting vulnerable people to get what they want, in the name of insatiable greed “rational self-interest.”

        They dictate the laws to their paid lackees in Congress. Equating legality with ethics or morality in this capitalist captured dystopia makes one a fool. Our laws are designed to defend the desires of property owners against the basic survival needs of human beings with nothing that our society has already catastrophically failed.

        You can catch charges for the misdeed of feeding the homeless here.

        (and to anyone who wants to chime in with “well feeding homeless people might make them linger, effecting property values which needs to be a consideration alongside feeding hungry poor people.” 🖕)

      They factor it into their decision to use self checkout. If the increase in shoplifting is less than they save on staff reduction (it is, significantly so), they consider it a tradeoff, so it’s hard to call it unethical.
