Straight to Jail (11/9/23)

The issue of Organized Retail Theft is not merely political, it is actually much more cultural. In fact, many of our societal issues fall into this category, from drugs and theft, to all forms of crime. Starbucks, Target, REI, Rite Aid, and Walgreens, are all closing stores in major cities across the U.S. because of theft, vandalism, drug use, and the general lack of safety to staff and customers. ORT exceeds $112-billion in the last data set, but this doesn’t give us any picture of the other issues like vandalism or drugs. From baby formula, body wash, deodorant, razors, and mouthwash, to toilet paper, these items are being put behind lock and key along with bathrooms due to theft and drug use. Part of this theft is subsidized by BlackRock and their ESG score, and the remainder of the loss seems to be a tribute paid to these gangsters whom are hell bent on destroying the fabric of a functioning society - while gobbling up wealth and resources. On the other side of the world, Japan is now having to address issues related to street drinking, pan-handling, and littering from foreigners, partially from influencers doing it for clicks. Some stores are having to putting up signs to remind visitors to not throw trash on the ground. The rise in such disruptive influencer behavior is causing concern in Japan, as it strives to balance the benefits of increased tourism with the need to maintain safety and cultural respect. Migrants in the country have also been videoed smashing Shinto shrines, while foreigners in general are being reminded to have manners like they are in kindergarten. With one of the worst educational systems in the world, and some states removing standards for graduation, a few people may be intellectually in pre-school. American women are furious online over men leaving for other countries to find wives, and get away from left wing politics, and one of the most common arguments is that these men are looking for uneducated women, despite many southeast asian countries having higher literacy and education rates than the U.S. - Japan has a 99% rate against the 79% rate U.S. The codling of drugs, litter, theft, and other crimes is incentivizing an America that looks like a third world country. The fact that any country should have to tell Americans to not throw trash on the ground is a sign of a much larger problem.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tst-radio--5328407/support.
