IMO this is a BFD.

Shocking moment hundreds of looters storm Florida Walmart and make off with $100,000 worth of merchandise

Inventory losses due to theft are approximately 2%. The retail industry calls it shrinkage. The cost will be borne by paying customers and investors or both.

Investors must have a profit for the same reason a furnace or water or can never be 100% efficient.

Investors must have a profit for the same reason an animal must have fat reserves.

Because of narrative promoted by liberals, non-prosecution of theft under $1,000 be California Democrats, and lockdowns imposed by Democrat, governors this is getting worse
every year.
