He’s an active initiator of the broken windows theory and thus not only a thief but acting anti-social by destroying virtues and morale and thus social safety, coherency and teamspirit. He’s a selfish sociopath.
If the knob on your stove breaks while it’s still new enough to be sold on the floor of a Home Depot? Yeah, the theft wasn’t by the guy who took the knob.
If the knob of your new-bought stovebreaks to talk to the seller or the manufacturer and request a new knob if it was a manufacturing problem. You don’t go around and steal knobs from innocents.
-Massive donation and lobbying efforts to Republicans and Democrats (but they definitely go harder with Republicans, if you look at the numbers, and they’ve donated specifically to white supremacist candidates)
This reminds me of a story my mom told me over the holidays about buying a fancy sweater at Sears one fall. By mid winter the zipper had broken and she went back to Sears but they didn’t have a replacement, and she didn’t want a refund. They eventually agreed to have her take it to the tailor in the mall for them to replace it, and they would cover the receipt. She did and they did.
Blew my mind. If I honestly thought I could contact Maytag or Bosch and actually get someone on the phone to send me a replacement knob, I might bother. But I’ve moved past “try to contact the company with a reasonable concern” a long time ago. Which is what they hope for and why they make it time consuming and pointless. I’ll take the path of least resistance.
If home Depot goes out of business because of all the stolen knobs, I’ll cry myself into Rona every day (I mean that, I hate Rona and I use HD daily)
So one is creative and solution seeking and now proud about himself and an inspiration to others and the other one – not, but just a thief.
Just a thief?? That’s creative, solution seeking, and ecologically conscious problem solving right there

Sure, being a thief is bad, but one case of theft doesn’t instantly make him a CEO.

Home Depot is not innocent.

Fuck 'em
Don’t forget they donate to gay and trans reeducation camps right here in the US.
Yeah Lowe’s sucks but I’ll go there first every time.
Lol.

Shoplifting is a noble crime.
