good. this is why i always get a 2nd opinion on things if something doesn’t sound right. as far as i’m concerned, having a license means that you can pass a test, that’s it. nothing more.
Doesn’t matter what they steal. If it’s food, it’s for their stomach. If it’s luxury, it’s to resell. Either way, it’s not my place to condemn how someone survives and thrives in this fuck of a late-stage capitalist existence.
Certain criminals don't get puniahed... That's just how the system works. Takes a lot of social pressures for this sort of thing to be even taken seriously.
Looks like run of the mill theft to me. Sure, perpetrated by a lot of people at once, but without proof of a legitimate business operating as a money laundering front for the proceeds of the fenced goods, this isn’t organized crime.
My Ex used to work in Saks 5th Avenue, so I would often browse around while waiting for them. I once saw a short sleeve button up shirt on the clearance rack that I really liked. It was $175 after the discount. I never seriously shopped in there after that.
Nordstrom will put high end goods near brands that are more affordable. It’s like having an expensive bottle of wine on the menu so the customer doesn’t feel so bad about paying 50 bucks. If you need to laugh go to a genuine luxury store and the prices are insane. Like $10k for a back pack nuts.
The solution: Amnesty and citizenship. Screw this "Everyone must suffer trying to be here." They wanna be here. There are jobs for them. Just swear them in and forget all this bullshit.
Make them pay all the workers the difference between their actual wages and minimum wage up to a few years back and, once established that they do in fact work there, it’s up to the employer to prove they weren’t there that long but require full access to those books and include everyone in them for the back pay. Plus personal liability for anyone who was aware when it bankrupts the company.
Edit: and the reporter is fast tracked through the citizenship process.
Through 2021, Millennial homeownership is at its average for the past 30 years. The average mortgage payment is the same as it was for Boomers and Gen X. Income is higher than both Gen X and Baby Boomers at the same age. And average student debt is lower than either Gen X or Baby Boomers (although only 10% of Boomers have student debt compared to 20% of Millennials).
