I know my friends and family very well, so… yes? Certainly well enough to know that they do not subscribe to the extreme fringe idea that we need to solve elite crime before we can prosecute shoplifters.

By the way, the branch of my family that would count as poor are uniformly much more conservative than I am.

Most companies affected by shoplifters are breaking the law everyday, so yeah corporate crime should be addressed before shoplifting.
