Note how the pious, “woke” approach is to howl at the effect, in public, ostentatiously, while carefully ignoring the cause. And so the politically corrected line of thinking stops abruptly, prematurely, in order to avoid arriving at a more probable, but unthinkable, conclusion.
“Putting security tags on items that are frequently stolen is now “openly racist,” apparently, and “quite evil.”
That line of thinking would fit right in with the 1917 Bolshevik narrative of “property” is anti-people.

One of my favorite Proverbs (OT) is paraphrased as … “Being kidnapped and held for ransom, never worries the poor man”. It isn’t much of transformation to say … “being a white mans product on a store shelf, rarely gets stolen”. The SJW branch of the Church of the apostolic Left … needs to read the REAL scriptures to find life’s answers. Cause their version of the world is getting quite sick in the head.
The neat thing about inventory management is that a retailer knows exactly which products are being stolen and in what quantities. If a large portion of Jamaican products are being stolen, of course they would be tagged for security. Maybe it’s blue eyed blond haired white guys stealing the Jamaican products.
I beeped leaving Walmart a week ago. It’s annoying but not wishing to simply walk out, I forced some disinterested employee to look at my single product and receipt.

Please tell me,I’m an old guy and don’t understand the mentality of the snowflake generation; are they actually SO naive as to believe that if they acquiesce to every demand by every person or faction on the planet,they will enjoy peace and paradise?
They are,to me, like snivelling bunny wabbits living in their safe glass cage,unaware that there are weasels,coyotes,wolves,and raptors waiting in the wings to eat them alive,figuratively speaking.
As an OWG, perhaps I’m on the wrong track. I seek enlightenment.

I’m sure they are. They’ve been taught that everyone, fundamentally, is good and honourable. A few years in the real world will give them a free education on how things really are.

Got it in one. It’s called r/K selection.
On the right track. All this thinking comes from too much coddling. One day they will be brought to the real world which has always occurred in the past and will as sure as the sun rises occur again.

does not make them friends.”

Never compromise with the lefty loonies. Compromise is only a step toward new demands.
I noticed that while I was teaching. Many of my wet-behind-the-ears students were absolutely convinced that they would be getting prime jobs and that they would quickly be put in charge.
They looked shocked when I said that many of them would be doing grunt-level jobs and likely stay in them for several years. Those are jobs here one has to pay one’s dues but can also be opportunities for learning and acquiring valuable experience.
Of course, it didn’t take long before I’d get hauled into my department head’s office and reprimanded for saying negative things which might persuade them to drop out and do something else.
I couldn’t win, no matter what I did.
Heck, the Progressives don’t howl at the “effect,” but at the imagined “potential effect.” They build mountains not out of molehills, but from perfectly level ground, and sometimes even from deep valleys.
Elois to be eaten by Morlocks.
ages ago I read a blog describing the morlocks as the true inheritors of the future world
since they were the only ones building things.
the cute blonde blue eyed eloi sat around loafing, whiling away the day, unwilling to even defend themselves on their own.
it really made me think about ‘good guys vs bad guys’.
