"Just let people steal shit" is the most entitled take imaginable. It also happens to be the dumbest but that just Hasan's MO.
Guess that would also be his take if a mob stormed his mansion and stole his car.
Gives me strong Seth Rogen vibes. "So what if your car gets broken into like 10 times in LA, just get a new car!"
Businesses already take into account theft and shrinkage, let them steal and use the footage to track down the perpetrators, I work in retail it’s exactly how we do it. The police have come to our store numerous times to investigate larger scale theft.
@@Gannoh that day I knew people aren't living in reality
@@Tj-km7ps I’d give repeat offenders five years in prison. First time offenders would get 3 months minimum. That would stop shoplifting immediately.
I love how Vaush thinks a security guard gets paid 6 figures😂. More like 10$ an hr
He's been wealthy so long he's detached from reality.
When he said that I was like "wtf, I'm getting under paid by like 70k."
He lives in Seattle minimum wage is about 39k a year there. Average armed security makes on average 47k in Seattle, then you would have at least 2 shifts per day as Target is normally open for 14 or 15 hours per day, gets you to 100k with just fica taxes added.
@@jjquinn295Jesus Christ your math is WAYYYYY off 😂
@@jjquinn295 Those two shifts will be covered by two different security guards with them only both being on together for about an hour for the hand over, that's the whole point of having shifts.
"They're not stealing from you, why do you care?"
"You're not being assaulted, why do you care?"
"You're not being raped, why do you care?"
"You're not being murdered, why do you care?"
Just let them do it cause it's not happening to you is the dumbest take imaginable.
Leftists are like conservatives on healthcare when it comes to an issue like shoplifting & petty crime, ntm SA 😑
"You're not being shot by police, why do you care?"
"You're not being bombed by the United States, why do you care?"
"You're not being deported to Honduras, why do you care?"
That’s my inner dialogue but then I have been diagnosed with an ASPD.
My sister was really upset about abortion being banned in her state when Roe V Wade was overturned, and I made the mistake of asking "well it's not like you're getting an abortion are you? Why would you care?" and holy crap that's not a mistake I will make again. 😅
@@UnderTheIceburg man, you now have to support that kid for 18 years. Sorry to hear that, dude…
High crime rates cause business's to leave, causing job loss and poverty. It's a vicious cycle.
Chicken and the egg. The initial high crime is because of poverty
Big business actually kill local markets and life for the locals. You think Walmart is just gonna be buddy buddy with your mom and pop shop? No it’s gonna nuke them and take their workers.
Exactly and it may cause companies to increase prices which hurts everyone
and you can tell how privileged someone is if they disagree with that. I live in a bad part of Atlanta and literally everyone I know of every political belief is sick of getting robbed and shot at lmao, Anna is right
literally crime causing poverty and not the other way around despite the claims by the people trying to downplay the crime
ana: " if you're larping as a socialist its t..."
vavavoosh:"ok here we go"
these jokes write themselves
At least he’s self aware
He couldn’t even just go “damn”
He had to stop the video to prime the audience with the surety that what she was about to say is insane
To be honest, I do think he's a socialist, but he does LARP as a radical socialist when he is a liberal socialist.
@@donovan4222ok groomer
Real socialism has never been tried, only LARPed.
I can’t imagine Vaush actually going outside
Typical punk leftist, bet he'll squeal in terror if a homeless person asked him for change
You ever see the commercials for old people where they have an automated chair to get them up and down the steps?
Hence why he can't tell the difference between a grown woman and a teen.
@@MrTapp34 SUPERSTAR!
Ironic coming from a Destiny fan.
I worked at a gas station in LA ten years ago and shop lifting was common and rarely reported. Got robbed at gun point twice and had to quit because my mental health was seriously fucked after those incidents and my family begged me to get another job.
Woah, that sounds awful. Almost sounded like a catch-22. You had to stay and work for your family but if you also had to leave so that you could survive for your family.
No one should have to go through that and you came face to face with imminent death twice.
I'm very sorry and I hope you're okay and doing better today.
Less enforcement against shoplifting or more acceptance of it makes it unnecessary to rob anything at gunpoint tho.
@Irazarra I wish that were true but the data doesn't check out so far. Armed robberies and shoplifting have both increased pretty dramatically in recent years. I'm only talking about Los Angeles btw.
Had a gun pulled on me while working at a smoke shop… but it was a BB gun and I knew it, so I just ignored the gun and gave them my most dismissive NPC customer service dialogue.
“Get the money and nobody gets hurt!”
Me: Thank you for choosing PK, someone will be right with you.
Hasan and Vaush are 100% not in my backyard types. They are fine with shoplifting and other such things happening as long as it doesn't directly affect them. They also act like wanting these two very reasonable things, "making sure people have their basic needs met" and "Let's make sure people cannot shoplift" are mutually exclusive things.
Who gives a shit about making sure people have their needs met though? Not streamers they all are multimillionaires. Destiny, Vaush ,Hassan ,Xqc could not give a fuck about people needs. The only thing these fuckers care about is being edgy owning each other and not getting cancelled.
Tell me, though, how are you going to make sure people dont shoplift?
@@jordanpetersonsthiccgrandm5892 That question is harder to answer than you might think and what works can vary from case to case, first I would need to know what people are stealing and why and then see what I can do indirectly before going to direct solutions. For example, let's say people are stealing dog food because of an ingredient in it that can make a drug. From that information, I would suggest a regulation being made that bans that ingredient from being put in dogfood. Does that make sense?
@@airlesscanvas6425 That's kind of a wild example. Can we agree that people mostly steal because they dont have enough money to buy the things they want/need? The things they want probably being in the food, drinks, alcohol and cigarettes category.
What would you do to make sure the people stealing these things cannot steal anymore?
@@jordanpetersonsthiccgrandm5892 That example I gave doesn't actually happen (atleast to my knowledge.) I was just trying to give you an example of my thought process, not how I would handle every situation. As for food, I would increase the benefits towards EBT cards and also pair them with generous child tax credits. People won't steal food if they can afford to buy it. Alcohol and Cigarettes are harder because they are addictive by nature, out right banning them won't work (prohibition proved that.) I honestly don't know how we would solve that, I would need to do more research on that.
Not sure how I used to watch vaush, my brain half rotted just from this take
Hello fellow Ex-Vaushite o7
Me too, although I don't know if it was just me seeing the light or he was actually more reasonable and coherent a couple of years back. It seems he's gotten more extreme and out of touch ever since that fortress arc.
I still watch him but also Destiny. Luckily, most of the time his takes aren't this dumb...
@@7alex683They literally are always this dumb
@@7alex683no the problem is as more crazy things happen, people start taking harder sides . Vaush is responsible of that
It’s amazing that someone can be so sheltered from how people actually live. Saying something like “they are just stealing, they aren’t hurting anyone” like seriously? How can you not even know how retail works 😂
I think they know but they are just virtue signaling for their audience
The fact that stealing isn’t seen as a harm to someone is the funniest thing ever .
@tmozdzen who does it harm?
If I take something from Walmart or beatbuy what person do i harm?
@@tmozzzWho does it harm? Is that person worth millions or billions? They steal from employees so it comes back to them.
Vaush unironicly believing that a security guard make 6 figures a year is all the info you need to know just how disconnected from reality.
the average security guard salary (in my area) is around 63k/year
Ha my buddy makes 17 an hour doing that, pretty ridiculous people think it’s some high class job
He was talking about contract security guards, not mall cops.
@@willburke6361 yeah thats the same thing I'm talking about. I'm a grocery store manager, we deal with a security agency to provide guards through contract. they make an average of 30$/hr. which is 63k a year. but go off king.
@@GH23d7sL45 honestly since theres a employee shortage right now,plenty of industries have increased the salaries for their current employees and new hires as an incentive.
in Canada at least. even as a department manager I'm making over 52k a year +bonuses.
It probably does cost them 6 figures for each position. 63k becomes around 85k in cost when you include employer portions of payroll taxes and insurance, and the security company likely charges at least 15k a year in service fees to run their support staff and profit.
17:08 I was a drug addict for 10 years and I did plenty of jail time and Vaush is so ignorant VERY wrong… there are literally thousands upon thousands of people that are criminals and commit crimes because they “enjoy the lifestyle”. I’ve been out of that life for over 5 years now and I run a small roofing business in AZ and I couldn’t be happier. But I had to find hope for myself and I had only myself to rely on.
I used to steal just because I knew I'd get away with it. I wanted to be a drug dealer because I thought it was cool. There's a lot of people who feel the same way and they live the life way more than I ever did.
@@BlooCollaGal honestly I’ve known a lot of criminals and not one of them was sobbing telling me “I just took one can of Campbells chunky soup to feed my 4 starving children… otherwise I never would’ve done something like that”. Vaush let his leftism lead him too much on this one.
I dont know what made me more mad, VAWSH's constant superfluous language, or his forced laughs and chuckles at his own jokes...
It’s a tie for me
For me, it has to be the consistent incorrect pronunciation of certain words (AY-sthetic). If you're gonna pull the "sesquipedalian loquaciousness" gimmick (which I really don't think is inherently bad, like a lot of people here do), you gotta at least say the words correctly...
It was the lip balm application for me
VDS
Really insightful critique of VAWSH!
He is big mad XD. But low key I can't stand Vaush and Hassan when it comes to takes like these... you can just tell that they have never had to actually build something for themselves in the real world to have these brian rotting opinions on retail theft.
Yeah, ironically I find it really insulting as someone who has actually been in the position of people they claim to care about (on more than one issue, in fact). This idea that I can't help myself, so they are righteous for defending bad behavior, as it's implied that I must be expected to engage in it... Man. Frustrating.
Vaush literally worked as loss prevention in retail lmao. Why do DGG’ers just endlessly repeat the same NPC dialogue tree as their parasocial daddy lmao. Your next lines will be ‘Virtue signalling’ or ‘Rich white college kids’ lmao.
Pretty understandable take from Hasan considering he essentially grifted his own father to move to the US for an education and seems to not care about his dad going bankrupt while he was gone. Dude is a true out of touch intelligentsia type
Hassan is right. Why would you risk your own safety to protect a corporation? Doesn’t make sense
Vaush is a beverly hills baby and hasan is a nepo baby. They have never lived for the next paycheck or worried about paying rent. They don't know how to care about workers because they can't relate and live in their ego. They're the epitome of the champagne socialist. Their takes are for their image and ego, not the people hurting in the grind
I was a store manager for an auto parts store for years, I never called the cops for shoplifting because it was pointless, most of the time it's already stolen and you just find an empty package on the shelf at the end of the day, or you do inventory and find that you're missing a $100 tool and it was probably stolen days ago. Not to mention we didn't even have security cameras and the company didn't want to put them in the store anyway. My store wasn't too bad at all, but I know another store an hour away from mine had the worst shoplifting out of our whole district. The manager locked the doors during covid and only allowed for online shopping and curbside pick-up and that stopped all of his shrink for months and then when they opened back up again the theft spiked management looked around like: "How could this happen?" 😮 Big businesses will overlook some amount of theft, especially if it becomes the norm, but when the numbers start rolling in and it starts to seriously impact profits, that's when people lose jobs and communities lose access to stores they might need to get by and provide for family.
But lets just blame capitalism and do nothing about it, like Voosh and Lasan.
What's the solution in your opinion?
@@matthewbaily-manzano9773 its kinda obvious no ? penalize hard for stealing
@@QuartzTech I'd tend to agree. Kinda new to this comment section and just wanna get the general feeling round here lmao
@@QuartzTechnot sure increasing the punishment will stop people from acting. Murder carries a huge penalty and people are still killed.
@@matthewbaily-manzano9773 I recommend taking the time to scroll through the comments & their replies for maximum brain rot.
Its such an elitist mindset to just say "oh let them steal, they arent hurting anyone". Zero critical thinking about supply and demand issues, shrink, price increases and many other issues faced due to uninhibited theft
Just making stuff up now
I honestly don't understand how these out of touch as fk streamers can sit in their rooms and not realize how mass shoplifting is going to lead to a worse experience for communities that are employed or shop at places like this. Small businesses will be affected even more adversely as they don't have the capital to make up for losses or inconvenience these people bring. It reeks of privilege.
When I worked retail at a convenience store, there were absolutely people who shoplifted food items or asked if I could spare some food. As long as it was a semi-regular or person others had seen around, it wasn't a big deal and I'd let it slide. However, the biggest share of shoplifters by far weren't starving homeless people or single moms whose EBT cards were being rejected it was young bums shoplifting beer or cigarettes (usually at night) and either immediately drinking them at the back of the store or just running to their (at times pretty nice) cars.
The argument for decriminalizing shoplifting under a specific monetary amount (say, $500 or $100 worth of goods) stems from the assumption (oftentimes mathematically derived) that it is more costly to pursue, prosecute, imprison or otherwise process the would-be shoplifter.
The counter-argument stems from the concern that disturbing the peace and threatening or implementing bodily injury against store owners, staff, or other customers.
I would remind everybody that Vaush supports the use of firearms to defend oneself. Vaush owns firearms. I personally would prefer to regulate them more, but I'm not against the 2nd Amendment. Nor is Destiny. I doubt TYT is against the 2nd.
@Molecular-Brainwaves-Translate people that steal should just shot the cashier before they take from the store?
You should understand it. But that requires seeing them for what they are.... "heros" included.
They are priveledged, ignorant and stupid suburban kids from the middle class, helping to destroy the middle class. This is what is happening.
@@Molecular-Brainwaves-Translate Vaush is all for allowing one to defend oneself against a someone unless you are a republican.
It blows my mind that there are still people advocating for a Destiny Vaush bridge reconstruction.
It blows my mind Destiny can be friends with a Neo Nazi like Fuentes but a Socialist, not even a tankie or marxist leninist, is too far gone to even consider.
But...... but they're best friends........forever
@@Potatotenkopfwell fuentes is not insufferable like hasan and vaush.
Vaush would get destroyed, it was like in WW2 when nazis blew up all the bridges over the rhine.
@@Chill_Tanukikawaii
Gotta say this new Ana/Vaush/Destiny arc is really heating up in the Streamer Cinematic Universe. Hopefully all this setup leads to an amazing payoff in the next crossover event.
So what you're saying is we need all three on Tim Pool's Culture War.

Sounds fucking diabolical 😏
@@Ren_Davis0531 That's what the Culture War is for.
@@shinmalestat9272 Good god inject that STRAIGHT into my veins.
The other thing about "crime statistics going down" is, yeah it does that when you decriminalize things like hard drugs and shoplifting under $1000. They also do the reverse by inventing new procedural crimes to go after legal gun owners, and then say "gun crime is going up" to justify bigger budgets, they always play these statistics games
What had drugs have been decriminalized lmao
@@michaelraymon111 you're in one of the states it isn't legalized in, aren't you? Not saying it shouldn't be legal, just wondering.
@@MagiOperandi answer the question
As somebody who's worked as a retail security guard for a fair amount of time, I can confirm that items like baby formula and laundry detergent are quite high risk, moreso than electronics and meat, even (two other large sources of "shrinkage"), but this is because they are value-dense, that is, they are unusually expensive products for their size, and have very good resale value as they're in high demand in low-income areas where people would wish to buy them for less-than-retail price. All of this is to say that these items are stolen a lot, yes, but it's for the profit of the thief, not desperation on their part.
Well, both. Low income mom's are desperate for the discount formula AND the thief makes a profit. He takes the risk and a mom who can't afford formula has no risk and gets an affordable essential item.
@@savage_optimist That is a good point that I should have clarified more, because you're absolutely right, yeah. It is a very real social ill that such low-income areas exist to necessitate the black market in the first place. It really highlights where we need to help these communities with getting such essential items, because doing so hits two birds with one stone; less retail theft, greater well-being for those who need it most.
As someday had worked as blah. Blah blah blah blah
how do u know its for profit of the thief and not for personal consumption?
incredible how you cannot prove that in any manner and are just purely conjecting because you THINK they're doing it for profit. absolute filth, i bet you snitch on homeless people trying to live in the state they were priced out of.
4:42 classic Vaush pretending to be surprised and shocked, saying he needs more info. Yeah, right buddy, I can hear the fucking venom dripping on your words.
Unironically. Evil.
Ontologically evil....
Yes so fake
Oh, and you can't hear the venom dripping from Anas words? Are you kidding? GOOGLE IT yourself Walgreens ADMITTED to lying about the shoplifting claims.
@@TheNewOption I never said I trust Ana. I would never put any stock in anything she says. However, having worked in retail for a number of years I do know that yes, most shoplifting does not get reported. That is a fact. Walgreens doesn't matter.
As someone who worked in retail security. The biggest cofactor in shoplifting was drug use. Nearly all of the shoplifters I interacted with were junkies.
Common items would be expensive groceries like steak, cheese coffee jars because these were things they can take door to door and find someone who will give them enough money to get high.
There was even one time, the police CCTV called me over the radio to investigate a couple of bags some known drug addicts and shop lifters had abandoned behind our shop while they made their way through different stores. In the abandoned bags, were drug paraphernalia (spoons needles) and blood stained clothing.
If you want to tackle the shoplifting problem, you need to start with drugs.
That’s sad but also makes a lot of sense. I agree that preventive measures that give people more support is probably one of the best responses the a raise in store theft.
That’s only a portion, this video is mostly about organized theft, not junkies stealing little shit.
Mobs stealing hundreds-thousands of dollars of shit to sell on the street
There would probably be MORE people doing this with a drug crackdown if it becomes safer to steal than sell drugs
Oh, you mean like how we have been doing for the past 40 years?
@@MaelPlaguecrow6942 Bad people will always exist. People in pain turning to drugs will always exist. Doesn't mean you give up. Life itself will always be a struggle on an individual scale due to existential realities, so of course it manifests societally. Going too hard or too soft on other humans by default would harm innocent people, hence moderation & due process. It's easy to imagine things in a utopian manner, but it's in the name - there is no such place.
Hasan actually has the answer for this problem. You sale the drugs in Walmart so they can shoplift 2 things at once. BOOM problem solved. (Actual Hasan take)
Yes Vaush, totally. Going into Walgreen to load a bag full of shampoo, conditioners, lotions, facial cleaner, acne cream,etc is totally because people were hungry. People who are hungry totally join crime rings so they can get food. All while wearing clothing and shoes from designers and jumping into a waiting Mercedes, lmao.
I would say it's just a combination of being broke as hell and not giving a damn. I can garuntee you that he hasn't lived around enough people who just didn't care. Those are the types of people who would definitely run his pockets because they know he wouldn't do anything. But if he's nowhere near that kind of environment besides what others tell him or what he sees on the internet, then his takes can only be based on a textbook perspective that doesn't even tell the whole day to day story.
Yes people who need money to make it and who can’t find a good job resort to crime. The video game logic of people who think that some are just evil mobs just going around mindlessly doing crime simply to be diabolical…
So our walgreens them hungry got $3000+ worth of alcohol lol
@@normandy2501 but we have very poor nations, beyond anything most Americans can even imagine, with very low crime rates.. ? Not giving a damn… that i will buy much sooner. Thinking there will be no repercussions? Even sooner.. especially when it is true lol😀
@@MrLuffy9131they can resell that alcohol and use it to buy food
Vaush from Beverly Hills 😂
"just let people steal shit dude lul"
Literal brainlet iq take from Hasan
Drop his addy let’s go steal from him 👺 he better be outside handing out 5000$ bundles while I ravage his house and tell him “thank you for the support”
I wish some of these noble thieves would visit Hasan's mansion
The issue is no amount of stats will change their mind when they think stealing from stores is okay to begin with
I hate all this excuse making for criminal behaviour. Is it possible that a lot of the theft we're seeing can simply be explained as immoral people wanting to get lots of shit for free whether they need it or not? And people becoming thieves because their buddies are getting away with it...
“Stupidity is brief and artless, while intelligence wriggles and hides itself. Intelligence is a knave, but stupidity is honest and straightforward”
Whenever political streamers start rambling, trying to sound intelligent, I think of this quote. Your explanation is one I’d agree with. Immorality has obviously been on the rise for a few years now. Not sure why we’re so hung up on trying to make it seem like “these r good people just trying to get by. They’re not hurting anyone”. I’ve dealt with these scumbags in retail and they are not “good people”.
@@jonny-dp2qr Well said!!
What is there a sociological reasons why people behave like this and it's worth studying.
You were fooled by a rich person. They were forced to admit it was all made up.
@@brendanmaclean3013 Care to elaborate?
The wealthy socialist from Beverly Hills. Sound like a plot for a comedy.
Most political theories in are developed by rich or upper middle class people from the culturally dominant race or ethnicity of their given country, acting like that's weird or cringe is really stupid
@@Azraelmaximilian Weird? No. But it'll always be cringe to hear someone trying to speak for another when they're actually not helping or even harming them. It's that same "oh man..." kind of cringe you get seeing someone making excuses for someone who is cheating on them. Just like "yikes dude, you can't be serious, wake up and listen to yourself."
I'm interested in how many of these streamers have had jobs outside of streaming
Not any Vaush or Hasan's size do, only the much smaller streamers have to have jobs outside of it.
I feel like Vaush only worked one summer job at a coffee house before he became a streamer. lmao
I used to watch his videos and streams and he never mentioned the timespan.
Both Hasan and Vaush have had jobs. The problem is that working once upon a time is totally different than working your entire adult life on about $30k - $45k income. Destiny is in the same spoiled boat and has terrible takes on this topic too.
@@Hunterchuckif you think Destiny was spoiled then you haven’t heard his background. Dude had a pretty whacky childhood and adolescence and lived paycheck to paycheck for years while falling behind on his mortgage.
@@colamity_5000 I've watched Destiny since he was on Justin tv streaming Broodwar. I know his life because he was a streamer that wore his emotions on his sleeve (which is why i loved watching him) but it wasn't actually a bad life at all.
1. Middle Class family (Very Conservative)
2. Landed his first job working at a Casino for starting at $15/hour in Omaha Nebraska, which he got a raise to around $20/hour at the tail end of his time in the Casino.
3. He bought a house because he was making way above the minimum wage.
4. Lost his Casino job and worked as a carpet cleaner for about 1-2 years, streaming during this time.
5. Became a full time streamer because he was making good money and started doing tourneys in SC2
It's totally the other way around. Vaush is making Ana super mad. He just finds it hilarious.
It's both, and it's so hilarious to see the left fight themselves! 🤣
Having worked at Best Buy, theft was an INSANE issue - more and more as I got closer to quitting. It’s reported internally to other stores so that they can try to mitigate against it, but I don’t know if that information ever actually ends up in the hands of cops or shareholders.
People have such a lack of understanding of how little profit any given store makes, even when it comes to an individual corporate store.
Like ignoring small businesses that aren't corporate with multiple branches. An individual 711 for example, doesn't have the invome of all 711s in the world, it isn't financed by the entire corporation. Each individual store makes it's own individual income, and it uses that income towards it's own individual budget. The profit margin for the individual store is miniscule for a number of reasons.
For one, everything or almost everything the store sells, is sold on a commision from the supplier of the product, lays chips and coca cola products for example. The 711 doesnt own those, and it doesn't just get 100% of the income from that product sold. The store purchases the stocked item from the supplier, and the store gets a small commission from that product sold, and the commission they get can be as low as like 5% for things like cigarettes, or maybe highest of 20-30% for things like different sodas.
Working at a store now, each quarter (3 month period), the store makes maybe 20k profit after general upkeep and labor costs. Within the last quarter this store had lost 15k in shoplifting. This was durring the summer quarter, where it's double if not more business than any other quarter, so if the store only managed 5k net profit, the entire year is going to be waay in the red, meaning I'm probably going to be looking for another job come winter.
This isn’t necessarily true. In the UK at least the major stores (M&S, Tesco, ASDA etc) do make large profits on average. This is why the store managers earn six figure salaries. The store workers don’t but your numbers above would not even support one manager. My source is that I personally know someone working in that role.
@@Stabby666 This guy is speaking in net income so the money left after salaries ect
@@northernhorror8773 yep I misread that cheers
@@Stabby666 Store managers who earn six figures are the exception rather than the rule. From what I can find online the average salary for retail managers in the UK is about £35,000 a year. Managers earning six figures will typically be responsible for either the largest supermarkets or multiple stores.
@@ddandymann UK Tesco store managers start at 50K and can earn up to 150K, in addition to bonuses and 8 wks paid leave per year. That's where the guy I know works. He's on over 100K. I still wouldn't want to do that job, but it's well paid.
I’m sure Destiny has explained this before, but just for clarification on that “it’s free pickings, like stripping copper wire from a dilapidated home.” The bank or some other lender owns those properties, and they WILL file insurance claims on the stolen copper. They WILL get paid out, and then aaaaaall of our personal insurance premiums get raised to mitigate the risk. Then people in underprivileged areas are further disincentivized to get home insurance, and get hit even harder when these thefts continue to happen in their neighborhoods.
This is obvious to me, but then again I, unlike Vaush, have had interaction with the real world beyond going to the Target on Pike Place once in my life.
Ahhh trickle down economics.
Those big companies come fuck over local markets and industries killed every mom and pop shop they can find then slowly create suburban hellholes and slowly squeeze the local population out while replacing them with people from outside but yeah we should start licking their boots.
Really good analysis.
But people like vaush have zero nuance when it comes to situations like this, he jist wants to glorp as much BBC as he can to bend to his target audience
@@100AcreWoodz1 Vaush is a prude unlike destiny and other bisexual men, someone ask him in his chat "spit or swallow" watch him go red LOL
I like how Destiny breezed past the first article that read "People are stealing baby formula because parents are desperate" to hit up Fox, Forbes and NYTimes for the "It's all being sold on the black market!!" articles...
based you mean
Do you have no idea how much baby formula sells for on eBay and how quick because the Chinese literally do not buy any baby formula from their own country ever since the milk scandal over a decade ago? It’s why you have quantity limits on how much you can buy in store at one time. This is the case all over the West by the way, and has been for over a decade. You are either a moron, or extremely disingenuous.
@@thulistdestiny spent most of this video agreeing with vaushs analysis.

i've never understood the whole logic here, "let people steal, they're stealing from walgreens"
"people doing bad things is good as long as they don't do them to me". it's not principled, it's not smart or intellectual or nuanced, it's literally just that they don't care, and they like the idea of getting free shit.
OK, what's your solution outside of saying something like "we shouldn't be normalizing the behavior"?
@@Coryameta Prison? Like we used to do before ideologue lawmakers and DAs started deciding this was fine
Scale up the punishment exponentially for each repeated offense as well, since the crime being done follows a power law distribution (e.g. 1% of people and 1/3rd of murderers commit >half of murders in Sweden, likely similar here too)
If you want people to be "rehabilitated" too, that's fine, but obviously they still need to be put somewhere away from honest people. Objecting against this is delusional and just hurts everyone else living a honest life whether you want to accept it or not
@@gianni50725 So, let's put some hard numbers here since this is your solution. If I have been caught stealing 6 different times, how much time should I be in jail for when I get arrested the next time? Will the time I get change based on how much I have stolen or will it not matter? If all of the 6 times I stole only adds up to about $2000 total does it matter or not in my sentencing and if so who gets to determine it matters? I asked that last question because you seem like you wouldn’t really trust the DA’s or Judges make that determination.
Also you are going to have to find a way to deal with the fact that putting these people in jail and that it is going to leave them with a criminal record. Since we live in America there is no such thing as rehabilitation in our prisons so at this point there is no need for me to add it as needed here since this is again your solution so if you don’t want rehabilitation then we will speak on it. People with records are going to have a hard time getting a job and housing which in turn increases their chance of offending again; how will you handle that?
Just note I am pushing hard because simply jailing them is already something that is being done widely in this country already and has been done for a long time before 2020 and yet this is still the solution you offer. Below are some points about my stance just so you will have some insight.
- Data on theft is really hard to get because so much goes unreported and investigated. This has always been the case and is not new.
- We already jail people for stealing. Each state has a different threshold but it is pretty common.
- A lot of theft is actually committed by employees and not customers. (this can depend on the store or products sold).
Many of these stores refuse to even provide internal data of their loss prevention for us to determine if they really have to close because of theft or if they are just citing it out of convenience.
- There have been some chains/companies admitting that while theft is up, it is being over-represented for the reason a lot of stores are closing.
- Community service is a way better solution than jail time first off. Secondly you will need to solve some of the inequality issues in an area regardless of what punishments you put in place and I would like some answers from you on how you would tackle this part as well.
You think the police are typically capable of catching someone who is stealing and driving off like that? What do you think they used to be able to fly around? And Hasan is clearly talking about not fucking the guy as he’s running off with the stuff and risking getting shot or stabbed to protect the shampoo supply. Walgreens has made this a rule for a reason.
@@Coryameta There has to be a two fold solution based on a carrot and stick approach. On the one hand we need to tackle the socioeconomic conditions that incentivise crime with targeted spending programs. For instance providing government funded baby formula to low income parents will end the demand for black market baby formula. Then on the other hand you need to toughen up the punishments for shoplifting and increase the resources available to the police to help them actually respond to reports of shoplifting.
I consider this type of carrot and stick approach to be both the most practical and ethical solution as it reduces crime while also helping the deprived areas which can be a hotbed for said crime.
When Destiny looked up the baby formula thing, I noticed he skipped right over the 2023 article that talked about how parents were stealing formula to feed their children and immediately went to a 2013 Fox news article that said they were using it for drugs and then acted like he didn't even see the first result.
Maybe he actually didn't see it. Also it didn't say parents were stealing baby formula, it said baby formula were being stolen because parents were desperate, which most likely means that people steal it and sell it to desparate parents, not that parents break into stores lol
@@azraeldemuirgos9518 He highlighted the latter half of the paragraph. He definitely saw it.
Oh so theft is okay if you’re desperate? Okay- I wish I knew that when I was down on my luck
I wonder if Vaush or Brown Fabio, being men for and of the people of course, could tell people off the top of their heads what the price of the most common groceries are. They seem wildly out of touch with reality.

Vaush is like, that’s an extraordinary claim as if he’s never been to a Walmart where you here the alarm going off every 30 seconds when you’re trying to check out… dude lives in a bubble
In his defense, it's very easy to make Vaush mad. He's not known for his emotional stability.
As a Pharmacist, I can confirm baby formula is expensive and highly shoplifted
I worked at a retail chain as a teenager and we had to put a limit on the amount of baby formula / milk 1 customer could buy. The reason for this is a Chinese group of women would come in every single day and buy as much as they possibly could. Security told me it was a known ring, who would ship it all back to China and sell it at an insane markup.
This was due to scandal happening at the time where local Chinese products had poisoned and killed some children from bad formulas.
Goes to show that even 10+ years later its still worth a shit ton to the right crowd.

I’m not gonna lie I laughed my ass off at the destiny impression
Yeah it was actually pretty good
What is the biggest contributing factor to the increase in retail theft? People with low moral standards realizing that they can easily get away with it.Its really that simple.
I think it’s drug use and economic desperation but a normalization of it as well as people becoming more organized in the theft is a factor too now.
Look at the acceptance movement for the LGBTQ. The rise in numbers of youth that identify as part of that group is directly attributed to it being tolerated and accepted. Why would it be any different for any other concept?
Up to 60% of larceny suspects are repeated offenders, so clearly they know they can get away with it. It's not just "poor people", it's a specific type of person
The inability for store owners and employees to protect themselves due to the thieves being protected from harm by the government is a HUGEEE one, but also the factors @ataraxia7439 listed also play a major role if anything they're the root cause

so stealing=left?
That's so interesting! Can you also please bring out tax evasion statistics so we can see how many BILLIONS corporations are stealing, worsening the tax burden on middle and low income families and overall inflation? It would be WILDLY interesting to compare the data sets!
EDIT: I agree with Zheanna at the end. Actions should be taken to avoid shoplifting and robberies to happen because of the good of the communities involved. Tax evasion will not stop to happen if corporations are being robbed. I just feel like the overwhelming focus on petty and retail crime is done not to talk about the gigantic damage done by tax evasion.
you know how else to evade taxes.. going out and robbing people and stores, I will not completely disagree with you but this is a completely different issue from the one that is being discussed. its cute to think we are sticking to the man but when it gets to a point where no one can buy their groceries locally and prices of items sky rocket or are simply unavailable.. it becomes old really quickly. Also evasion is not how corporations get away with it is generally tax breaks which are in our laws which they loophole. the only way that changes is if they cap the amount of breaks a corporation get instead of just claiming off on 100% of their taxes. Which as much as You or I would hate to say it is still LEGAL... then there are offshore profits where a company can get lower corporate tax rates, but we have no influence over other countries anyway. I am sure as well if companies really wanted to they could claim theft as a tax write off as well if they really wanted too, which I have no idea why they would not, just get an rough estimate of the property stolen and report it before the years end. So in a way were kinda feeding into the "tax evasion". but hey I could totally be wrong! have a good day.
People keeping their own money is not stealing, furthermore, inflation is largely a monetary phenomenon, higher input costs can have an effect of course, but it is a small piece of the pie.
@@philosphorus Wealth is created through comparative advantage.
Pay relative to another is just supply and demand, the reason why engineers get paid more than dish washers is not because engineers are stealing from us, we just demand their labour more relative to the supply. Now of course high profits is not always good, it can be the result of rent-seeking(usually from government regulation; zoning laws, overbearing ip laws) or imperfect markets, either from high capital investment or imperfect information, or tariffs. But it is usually the case that people with high incomes supply goods or services that are in high demand, and are usually better at it than others.
Also I should probably note that I might have misunderstood the original comment about inflation, I thought they were talking about “greedflation”, but they were likely talking about higher deficits resulting in the government selling more bonds, with the federal reserve then buying some bonds, increasing the monetary supply, thus creating inflation. Although this seems like pointing the finger at the wrong people, when this can largely be explained by government incompenentcy, rather than companies just using deductions.
@@philosphorus well I guess all those farmers should stop making crops for profit and all those local grocery stores should stop operating for profit, since it is such a scam
Damage done by tax evasion? Those people keeping the money they earn didn't tell the government to burden people with taxes. Unlike retail theft that steals not only from the store owners but also from the potential customers
The amount of hours of my life I wasted waiting for law enforcement to show up for a shoplifting case between 2020-2021 (where I worked adjacent to asset protection as a salary manger, but not directly over) only to reach the maximum holding time we can have per policy, and forced to let them go is obscene. I worked couple similar jobs at the same company for five years across several stores and several cities, and there's countless cases that are documented internally, but never sent to law enforcement because there's no where to go with them. Even some of the serial offenders (people who are hitting multiple stores for high dollar inventory over and over) that we have market meetings about sometimes barely kick up any dirt.
Chop off the right hand and left foot of thieves. Such is the wisdom of Solomon.
I smiled ear to ear as soon as I saw this come up on my feed
Might get to the point where people won't be allowed to do their own shopping in cities like this.
Yeah, or everyone talks to an armored glass pane, and machines gather their order, and trade it for cash at a small armored hatch.
I read an article about that, about how stores experiencing high amounts of theft in certain could just switch to doing exclusively online orders to cut back on theft. Seems like a decent idea if it's really that bad
Then when the only place left to get food is the corner store, they'll call the Korean owner racist for charging so much. In reality, it's the high insurance, theft, and physical risk the owner has to deal with. He can't give Walmart prices, and why the Walmart you had shut down.
That’s not why I would call SOME Korean store owners racist. Everyone expects to pay a premium for a convenience store. I call many racist because of my deep experience with the utter lack of respect for the populace they operate in. As a 43 year old woman who’s lived in California, the south and now the east coast, this definitely not a passing opinion but one based on experience.

Lmao I worked at a Walgreen's in Seattle and shoplifting was a DAILY occurrence. I had not seen a single day without at least 1 shop lifter. Nothing was ever done unless it was the same person who came back for the 20th time, then if one of the ballsy managers were on shift they would confront them. Rarely reported to police though.

Id never really thought about it before, but as someone who worked at a few retail stores thru high school (early-mid 2000s) im kinda surprised this didnt happen sooner. They always told you just to let someone stealing go and get a description or license plate if you could. So 10-15 coordinated people stealing is almost like a cheat code lol

I've only seen a few destiny videos, but I notice the same problem in each one. When he wants to know something, he googles it and takes the top results. That is not reliable and explains a lot about Destiny's opinions.

@@Hunterchuck Yep, I just think if you limit yourself to Google's opinions, you're going to sound like a walking leftist NPC. Destiny seems to have common sense, so that is a bit perplexing.

That is such shallow, disingenuous, obtuse thinking, and I don't see him do that much outside of referencing conservatives. I'm conservative and agree with maybe half of what I've heard him speak on. He does himself many disservices, but he is better than most others (e.g. Vaush or TYT).

I agree with Destinys broader position but it's super greasy how he scrolled past like, three "parents are stealing baby formula to feed children" articles to get to the one he wanted then sarcastically said "Maybe there's an article saying parents are stealing to feed their babies."
There are. You just scrolled past them. One of them was the first google result. Just WILDLY dishonest and right there on video for everyone to see lol
There is help for moms that struggle w formula or milk for their babies, they have WIC programs and local moms who donate their extra milk supply and they give it away for free. When the formula shortage happened, people were buying formula to re-sell, and I'm sure shoplifters started to catch on it and steal it to re-sell at a much higher value, it is already expensive.
The caller nailed it with the Nobel Savages comparison.
The profit margins on retail stores depends on the products they're selling.
When I worked pricing at a large Wal Mart competitor, I could see how much the store paid for items compared to what they were selling for. A lot of grocery items are sold close to cost or with very small margins. Seasonal items like Christmas decorations and stuff? Upwards of 100% markup when those products are placed on shelves. This is why as soon as the season ends, those products are immediately placed on clearance like 30 or 50 percent off. They anticipate that in the initial pricing, so they can still make SOME profit.
great stuff! :-)
Using baby formula to cut drugs?!?!
Damn!!!! No wonder after that first bump, I found myself latched onto my dealers nippie-nips, suckling away!
Ngl Vaush’s destiny impression was actually really good
Even CNN said, "Company's are lying about rising prices."
Then Destiny says, "There's a lot of NUANCE in this report."
Maintenance worker for a store here, at the store that I work for we still try to report but only if it's like a filled shopping cart of groceries because we can give features to the police when we file like height, face features, license plate, etc. Most of the time however we don't hear anything back but the vast majority of the theft we have is someone will grab an item, go to the restroom and remove it from its packaging or container, and walk out with it. In these cases, we can't file a report because we don't have anything identifiable to report so I just bring the packaging I find while cleaning the restrooms and we claim it out as stolen.

A 20$ item stolen is a loss of 20$ that needs to be recupirated by selling 20$ worth of profit of that same item, so if you have a proft margin of an average of 2%, so 0.4$ per sale and they bought the item for 18$, then for every 20$ item stolen the store need to sell 45 of them to break even for the theft.
Stores that suffer these losses get shut down, no big corporation is hurt by this, it's the easiest shit in the world to close down an unprofitable loaction, but that community now no longer has a store and you're not gonna get any small businesses to replace it either because it's a community with rampant theft issues
People think the margins on items are much larger than they are.
@@sakalaathletics Yes, I was being quite generous with 2%
OK, what is your solution for reducing theft for these places?

Destiny fans with English comprehension problems? Nahhhh.
Same thing happens in the UK, I work in food retail. Police wont investigate unless it's over a certain value which is sad in my opinion, most commonly stolen items are fresh meat, household cleaning products and baby formula. Go to the local car boot sale and you'll probably be able to find all of the stolen shit 😂
To be honest though - id much rather people be stealing those items than things like beer and cigarettes.
With objects like baby formulae, cleaning products and fresh meat, it definetly seems like they are stealing because they *need* it, rather than want it.
@coreymeredith4001 Have you ever worked in retail before? I manage one of the largest stores in small independent retailer and I can tell you after 10 years in retail and dealing with all sorts of theft I can probably guess less than 10% of it is out of actual need. 90% or more is clear profiteering, stealing to sell on due to the expense of these products. Like I said I could go to the local car boot and probably find half the shit that goes missing in my shop. It's a big problem in rural England.
@@coreymeredith4001 And when theft under £500 doesn't get investigated it's pretty much a legal activity now since they know they'll face little to fuck all reprocussions, so no not out of necessity.
I live in the Bay Area and I can confirm that theft crime here is unbelievable. Cops don’t respond anymore if the cost of the theft is less than $900.
Greedflation is a real thing, and accounted for upwards of 50% of inflation in certain markets. But otherwise, Destiny generally has the right take
In my early teens I went on a bit of a shoplifting spree when I realized how easy it was to get away with it, and let me tell you, it sure as fuck wasn't because I needed those things. I did it because I could, and I'm sick of hearing about how all shoplifters are these poor desperate mothers stealing baby formula for their starving babies. I'm sure that happens, but I would be willing to bet a majority of shoplifting is done for self indulgent or malicious reasons.
