Do you really expect someone to shoplift 20 pounds of groceries? Ofc people in need are going to flip a pricy item and buy necessities.

    Had a super lib on reddit tell me a while back I was an immoral piece of shit for saying that stealing was fine as long as you don't get caught. Can only imagine they must have had a pretty easy life.

      Stealing is not fine or not dependent on whether you get caught. No action becomes wrong through observation.

        Getting caught is dependent on whether someone gets arrested and has something put on their criminal record, which is usually a red flag for most jobs. I'm not concerned about the morality of stealing when the ruling class does it at a much grander scale.

          Ah, I thought you meant morally okay. The morality of stealing from a large store.is that it's fine as long as the overworked employees don't end up on the hook for it.
