You're wrong.

You're wrong in video format.

Shoplifting is up by a very, very inconsequential amount, stores aren't closing from it

He is right when it comes to the UK though: Article today: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-66819837 Earlier this week, referencing violence towards shop keepers too. Coop having a very rough time with it: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-66784250

I'm not trusting the paper owned by Bezos on anything. Sorry.

Watch the video then. It's from an anarchist. He says essentially the same things as the article but doesn't dance around the issue or it's implications. As long as you're aware of the biases of corporate media, you can still glean useful information from it.
