Sounds like a war by bureaucracy on small business.

they’re allowing the poor to collect straight from the worker’s pockets.

I swear, California is the perfect example of socialism.

And screwing up the housing economics in other states with hills and hills of mansions none of the locals can afford.

You could literally buy a cross country plane ticket, bring an empty suitcase, fill it with modestly expensive shit, and make money on the trip.

Fuck that’s right.

Let’s skip the part where we do this and go right to creating a “SoCal Criminal Business Vacation” travel agency. And instead sell travel packages to people that do it. They could write the whole thing off if their business was enacting legal crimes.

/s you fucking clown lurkers.

Poor thieves are a socially allied element.

Standard Bolshevik doctrine...

Yep because businesses have to recoup the losses from theft, somehow.. pass it on to the paying customer.

Very creative. ..but these 'poor' are looting businesses; not robbing the worker.

Thank you!

Exactly man. People don't get this. Every company in existence is propped up and paid for by the customer. Every single salary, expense, and all overhead. Everything. Paid for by the customer. That CEO makes a lot of money? The customer paid him. Jeff Bezos super rich? The customer paid him. Tax corporations? That means tax YOU, the customer.

This is why ALL successful companies are customer focused, first and foremost. The only place where you find shitty customer service are sectors which have a government enforced monopoly through over regulation (Utilities, Internet, Government itself, etc.)

If the government refuses to enforce the law and protect the safety, property, and rights of it's citizens, yet continues to tax them for these fundamental purposes, that government is nothing more than an occupying force.

Yeah man, it's not like "the worker" wouldn't exist or anything without these businesses. Jobs just spring up out of the aether.

Step 1: Business is created with seed money from owner, either from their own pockets or loans.

Step 2: Business hires workers to increase productivity.

Step 3: Business continues to exist due to sale of products produced by workers.

Step 4: Workers are paid out of revenue generated by sale of these products.

Now, if you simply steal the products a business makes, how do the workers get paid? Take from the corporate side? Steal from someone else because you were stolen from? That isn't going to last more than a few paychecks.

Y got the context of my statement muddled. I was replying to an op who implied that 'the poor' could collect income (i.e taxes) from 'the worker' by looting the business they work for. I disagree. They're not 'collecting' (i.e stealing) from the worker; but the 'work providers'. Anyway its Alice-in-Wonderland--the State decides it won't provide welfare; just let 'the poor' rob other people by de-criminalizing it. If enough of that occurs, of course, there won't be any 'businesses' or 'workers' (i.e employees)

Honestly I think these things always sound planned, but they are really the way stupid lazy politicians avoid conflict. It also makes the "metrics" look better. Hey crime reports are down!
