Definitely seems to be a connection with shoplifting .
Large Retailers Blame Proposition 47 For Increase In Shoplifting « CBS Sacramento

Its ok the stores will just raise prices in CA which will directly affect the working class and middle class income earners .
Another " tax"

I have recently seen more shoplifting . Before it was rare to see people trying to shoplift, but I saw two incidents just within the past few months or so .

Some people like to pop their head out of their basements once in a while. You know, to have fresh air and see other people.

geez your so angry denadude I also shop Amazon but then I have to fear people stealing my packages at the door. Sometimes it's nice to go to CVS and look at the nail polish colors in person.

Yeah, is that why you go to Walmart to see other like minded people?


List of things I did yesterday:

Hung out at Belmont Shores to play volleyball (conversed /w ~15-20 people)
Went to dinner in the Palisades where the host brought in a private chef (conversed /w 6 people)

Amount of time spent in basement - 0.

Only when I want to browse the collection of AR15s, precision rifles, and ammo.

Guess you don't have useful stores like Bass Pro or Cabelas nearby.

I like Bass Pro a lot, but sometimes their ammo prices are a little higher than WalMart surprisingly.

Cabelas I order from online regularly, but don't have one nearby to walk into. I also like GanderMountain.

"Amazon Prime seems to appeal much more to people aged 40 and up - and it's particularly attractive to seniors 60 and up. "

You know which group likes to pop their heads out to enjoy a lot of fresh air?

Homeless!




Doesn't matter though, much like any other dumb law people of CA voted for in the past, the taxpayers end up footing the bill, as usual.
