The cost of living has been rising faster than paychecks have, and so the consumer economy is bound to suffer.

People shoplifting from big chain stores is how food deserts are created.

It costs tens of thousands of dollars per day to keep a single Walmart open. If a store isn't selling that much in merchandise every day, they're losing money.

You might think, "me stealing one bag of chips isn't hurting anyone", but if a thousand people are all thinking the same thing, that's a thousand people who are all stealing chips, among other things. That adds up, and that cuts into their operating costs.

Of course, you don't care about that, but here's the thing: a big retail chain might be able to absorb millions of dollars of revenue lost due to theft, but they're under no obligation to do so, and they can and will close a store if it isn't profitable simply because keeping an unprofitable store open is wasting their money.

When you shoplift, you're not harming the big, bad corporation. The corporation can simply close that store and instantly make back whatever was lost from their thousands of other locations, just by cutting the dead weight. They'll make the decision as dispassionately as they would discontinuing a product or laying off unneeded employees. It's all just numbers to them. They don't care.

It's the people who relied on that store who are out of luck. Those are the ones hurt by shoplifting.

When those stores close, the people in those communities have fewer places to shop. It should be obvious, but this hurts low income people who can't easily travel far to get food or other necessities. This harms the poor.

These are those second-order effects people on Twitter and Reddit never think about.

With the UN’s Summit of the Future less than 20 days away the vast majority of the public has no idea governments of the world are set to sign the so-called Pact for the Future.

You really honestly think Trump isn't going to waddle directly into the new central bank currency system, either though intent or stupidity?

Man you really believe hard in Orange Man. You too @BlinkRape . You are both proof that Trump Derangement Syndrome goes both ways.

Orange Man is not an evil fascist racist Nazi, but neither is he your savior. He's literally brought in J.D. Vance (not his real name), the direct disciple of PayPay Mafia and domestic spy company founder Peter Thiel.

Whitney Webb has covered this extensively on her podcast interviews with WAR MODE (14 August. ep Late Night Swim), and Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory (4 September, ep. Financial Crimes & Hidden Agendas: The CIA, Blackrock and Wallstreet with Whitney Webb Parts 1/2).

_The science is in. Climate alarmism can end. Since 1959 increases in atmospheric CO2 is due to sea surface temperature_

FTA: Last month, Japanese researcher Dai Ato published a study that examined the relationship between atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂) levels and human emissions, with sea surface temperature as a key factor.

The findings reject the theory that human-caused emissions are the primary driver of atmospheric CO₂ increase. Instead, the study concludes that sea surface temperature plays a dominant role in regulating CO₂ levels and no human impact is observed.

Ato’s study was published on 16 August in Science of Climate Change, a not-for-profit independent scientific journal dedicated to the publication and discussion of research articles, short communications and review papers on all aspects of climate change.

The multivariate analysis used publicly available data from prominent climate research and energy-related organisations. He found that human emissions were not a determining factor in any of the regression models.

A regression model is a statistical technique used to estimate the relationship between a response (dependent) variable and a set of explanatory (independent) variables.

The study concluded that sea surface temperature (“SST”), not human emissions, was the independent determinant of the annual increase in atmospheric CO₂ concentration.

In 1944, F.A. Hayek wrote The Road to Serfdom, a much-cited book but one rarely read in the depth that it deserves. The chapter called “The End of Truth” explains that any large-scale government planning will necessarily entail #censorship and propaganda.

Square Enix better known as Square Eunuchs have now began censoring the timeless work of legendary Akira Toriyama

This will absolutely, without a shiny shadow of a doubt, end very well for them

I'm really looking forward to this discussion.
@jjcouey@gigaohm.bio & Denis Rancourt striking at the root of "WTF has been going on".

@sun EU has been playing it like that for years. Pass something generally regarded as good and use that as leverage to pass something bad like chat control. People will then ignore the latter with arguments like "But they passed something good like X. They aren't that bad."

The sad part about all of this, is that it works and the "save our children" excuse also works.

It also doesn't help that EU politicians are usually dumb ones, that failed in their own country. It's a dumping ground for bad politicians that nobody wants at home.
