“I’ll take 13% = 52%, Alex, for a quarter and a cup of coffee”

We hear all the time about "food deserts," "pharmacy deserts," and about how corporate capitalist exploiters don't care about the poor. 

Every time a store closes due to problems with crime, the race grifters come out to protest about the conspiracy to harm black and brown people by depriving them of the means to survive. 

It's tiresome, and it is ultimately self-destructive to the very people who complain bitterly about their lot in life. 

Another absurd scene unfolded in Chicago this week at a Walgreens that is closing. It is beset by crime. People regularly steal millions of dollars of product, and the company's employees feel at risk. 

The response? Demands that the corporation be forced to stay open because they are creating a pharmacy desert, and how will those shoplifters earn money if they can't steal?

Shoplifting has become an industry, and its perpetrators these days don't even try to hide what they are doing. Employees who try to stop it can face dismissal from their jobs or even criminal charges if they try to interfere.
