Man, capitalists will do literally anything to not pay people more money. You know people steal cause shit is expensive and they don't have a lot of disposable income to waste on stuff right? Why inconvenience everyone. Pay people more and hire more workers.

Also cause the propaganda to get people to "want" stuff is so effective they start stealing just to have it.

If you think the people filling trash bags with laundry detergent is because they just can't afford it because it's too expensive, you're not living in reality

Why else? They don't think it's "worth it" because they only have so much money to go around and they don't want to waste it on bullshit like needlessly expensive laundry detergent compared to their salary.

When a bottle of detergent is 2/3 your hourly wage why the hell wouldn't you want to steal some if you could?
