A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
Damn Amish! Criminals.
Don’t buy retail stocks. Organized criminal groups are running wild. Theft is destroying brick and mortar stores.
Everyone else pays for this crime. It’s one more version of reparations. Start chopping off hands and shoplifting stops quickly. It’s not complicated.
They just stealing bread, milk, baby formula, power tools and luxury bags because they need to feed their kids.
“Men do not despise a thief if he steals to satisfy his hunger when he is starving.” Proverbs 6:30.
When you decriminalize shoplifting, ban police pursuit, and make give shoplifters a get out of jail free card, this is what you get
Yes, this is the point: Anarcho-tyranny, where the government unleashes criminals on to the citizenry while simultaneously punishing political crimes against the regime. It’s a very cynical, and insidious, form of government they’ve unleashed upon us. And liberal women AWFLs vote for this for one reason: so that 40,000 or so women each year can sacrifice their children to Moloch aka abortion. Literally nothing else matters to these women, they will live in ruins of a state, as long as other women have the right to abort their babies.
The same progs will complain of a hardware desert in a couple of years…..
Right, and when there’s no Home Depot, Walgreens, or Ulta store to rob where do you think the criminals will turn. Old Joe knows but the liberals don’t.
Delivery trucks and it already has started
It is obvious Cook County does not prosecute the vast majority of gun, car jacking / theft, assault and battery or retail theft crimes. This has been obvious for quite a while. Maybe Home Depot shareholders should sue this public company for negligence for having any retail store in Cook County. Only problem is if the case is filed in Cook County, they will not get in front of a judge for about 4 years.
