Re: Ex-Spurts: Drips Under Pressure
Phat, I'm not reading a word you say - or more likely, watching the dumb-arsed video you've just found.

Re: Ex-Spurts: Drips Under Pressure
God told you that monetary theory is wrong? I guess he's playing the same Youtubes as you. And yet you're only 95% confident? Interesting.
Do you feel well?

You liberal whiners will coddle the criminals and somehow blame the Republicans, but you likely would not be in favor of better security.
Who's doing the whining here? Will you ever quit being a dick? The company will use whatever methods to reduce the loss that makes commercial sense to them. It's their business not yours. You voted for right-wing, look-after-yourself capitalism - here it is at work in your store. And here's you crying for help from the big state.
You tell us you're a Christian (ha!), why aren't you doing something about the root cause of crime - drug and alcohol abuse, homelessness, poverty and depravation, education and inequality of wealth? Why aren't you feeding the hungry, housing the homeless tending to the sick?

Whose job is it to serve and protect?
I'm sure they'd be more than happy to protect every supermarket in the US 24x7, all you need to do is fund the increase. Are you going to vote for the increased taxation?
At work, they hire private security...likely another tax write off or way to lower the insurance.
Don't be ridiculous, it's a straightforward cost of business; they're balancing 'shrinkage' against the cost of reducing it. It goes straight to the bottom line.
But it's impossible to stop the kind of shoplifting you're seeing - if people are poor, hungry, homeless and drug addicted, you have to deal with the cause.
You can't solve these societal problems by locking people up. Are you proud of these numbers and the company you keep?
