    "Urban struggles"... >cough cough<

    The article didn't say one word about shoplifting.  Wonder why not?  (Let me be at pains to point out that both shoplifters and non-shoplifters are found in all races.)

    Some people get all butt-hurt at Walmart asking to see receipts as you leave the store.  When I am leaving the store, I look towards the door greeter, have my receipt in my hand ready to show if asked, and say "thank you". 

    My son was asking what the problem would be with having a big, tall, muscular 300-pound black armed security guard at the door, ready to apprehend shoplifters.  I can't see a problem in the world with it myself.  From what I hear, though, they can't apprehend anyone who is walking out with stolen goods, they just have to let them walk out.  That is bulls**t.

    What our country has come down to.

    • It's just part of the plan for life in the metaverse (mixed reality) in our tiny homes and 15 minute cities.

    They have raised the dollar amount limit for shoplifting to be considered a crime in metro areas so that it's no longer worth it for law enforcement to get involved.

    So much shoplifting now because people know they can get away with it.  What to do, what to do?

    Problem--reaction--solution

    You know, they have facial recognition cameras and palm reader/biometrics available for ID'ing all customers as they enter a store.

    In fact, you don't even need to check out anymore.  You just go in, take your stuff and leave and it's all charged to your bank account.

    Sweet!  That solves the problem.

    No more shoplifting and we can just defund the police while we are at it since we don't need them anymore.

    What's more, most people can just stay home if their toilet sensor detected "covid" or there is a climate lockdown or whatever the latest invisible enemy happens to be and have their groceries (calorie allotment) delivered to their pod which saves the planet from "greenhouse gases".

    To be fair, until the advent and universal use of automobiles, all urban dwellers basically lived in "15-minute cities", or compact neighborhoods of larger cities.  Outside of midtown Manhattan, even New Yorkers live their lives in fairly small enclaves (Harlem, Greenwich Village, Bayside, Flushing, et al).  My wife's family in Poland lives their life pretty much within a 15-minute walk of everything in their small town (ca. 10,000 people), and they walk everywhere they go.

    Walmart is due to soon close two stores in Portland, Oregon, and they may have been closed already. Anyone who has seen Portland will understand why. The homeless are everywhere, and crime is rampant.

    I think Walmart is closing these store to remodel them as FEMA's Detention Camp Processing Centers.

    • Nope. There's one that's closing about 10 minutes away from me. It's in a crap neighborhood that no one wants to be in. Enough for WALMART to reconsider its presence there. That's why it closed.

    I've been hearing that stuff forever.

    Does anyone have any proof or docuмentation of this?

    Sometimes a closed store is just a closed store.  They're not making a profit, so they close up shop.  Business decision.
