Shoplifting in SanFrancisco and my solution

[ChattanoogaPhil]

San Francisco's plan to give away free alcohol and cigs didn't work? Maybe give everyone a San Francisco government credit card. That ought to reduce theft on par with open borders reducing illegal crossings. No crime Utopia.

They will just pass a law forcing stores to open there. Or they’ll open government stores subsidized by the taxpayer.

If we continue on this path I’d say the latter is highly probable.

Ah yes. Can you imagine it. Govt owned grocery/pharmacy stores. Nothing is in stock. Operated at 10x the cost of a retail location. Understaffed, but with 3x as many as necessary on the payroll. All required to order product from Govt approved China-made generic everything. I can't wait.

Would people be able to walk in and steal still? Or would theft from a government store be different? Would Chesa et al be able to explain why that theft would be different (if it was)?

If the government store was also a free for all, I’d advocate for all of us to put on our Covid masks and walk in and take what we want.

I wonder, would Chesa post his home address as let us come take what we want? It’s so f-ing ridiculous that somehow theft is okay…. Grrrr this thread got me started…
