The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

Retail crime resulted in losses of $9.2 billion in Canada in 2024.

I don't think I really care how much money billionaires lose.

That's the thing. They lost $9.2 billion, but they still turned a profit.

They factor the cost of theft into their item pricing.

And yet, if theft stopped, prices wouldn't go back down.

Naturally. By not stealing you are giving them free money.
