They need to hire security.

What do you expect security to do?

Security expert would create a security plan.

I personally would limit the number of customers at a time, no bags… like when I was a teen in DC.

I love it. Some expert would create a magic “plan”.

It’s not magic there are security plans all over DC.

we have enough cops and secuirity in DC, the problem is that they wont do their job. Why can't CVS security be armed and able to detain and handcuff teens robbing them blind?

The only crime this year where Councilmembers Parker and Frumin got outraged and demanded action from the USAO was when a citizen shot a car thief.

Why doesn't anyone try to stop these criminals? Because the leadership in D.C. hasn't created a society that's a free for all with no rules. It's created a society where criminals are allowed to do whatever they like, but law abiding citizens are going to have the hammer brought down on them if they ever dare to fight back.

You're allowed to defend yourself with reasonable force. You can't execute someone running away from you. Be reasonable.

If the person running away is a thief they should be apprehended by whatever means necessary.

I like the way you think and would love to stand outside of Wall street and shoot them as they walk away, most of even felons so it's not such a big deal. Ill even make sure they have an SEC violation or a tax fraud conviction.

ah yes, it's always Wall Street's fault...those rich pigs, allowing small businesses to survive, financing your mortgage and car, and providing the easiest way to wealthy ever invented. So unfair!

They steal $1 billion a day. Your head is in the sand.

$100 of corporate profit.

FED taxes 30% Sates average 8%

$100 becomes $62

$62 distributed to stockholders

Fed averages 22% (income based and type of gain) State averages 8%

$100 becomes $44

$44 spent by stockholder sales tax average 6%

$100 becomes $41.


Government steals 59% of all productive profit.

Dang...I didn't know my DH steals every day at work! Thanks for enlightening me into your astute mind.

Please though, continue supporting theft and crime. Shoot..I am late to yoga!

I get it. Your sneering towards snd sniveling at the state is developmentally appropriate. I was the same in my 20s. Worked at a conservative think tank. Attended talks at CATO. Played poker with the writers for Reason. Got the Institute for Humane Studies to find my graduate work. I was like you.

But then you learn more about how the world works. The catchy talking points you get from Mercator Center talks often lack substance. Not always, but it can be difficult to separate the real thinkers and scholars from the demagogues and charlatans.

You’ll wise up, buddy. Maintain that skepticism, temper the anger, and disabuse yourself of the notion that everyone else is a fool. Or else you’ll just end up being a crypto evangelist railing against the state and then begging for deposit insurance once some tech-bro stereotype marks you for the sucker you’ve become.

You are nuts. I have no interest in crypto or libertarianism. I support moderate democrats. I also know that our government is a waste factory.

90% of America are fools. 50% are complete morons. We are lucky to live in a bubble in the DC area.

Thank you..if anyone is a crook it is Uncle Sam

You seem like the kind of person who only looks where the light is shining.

How much of that initial "corporate profit" is attributable to government-provided features, like patent processes, surety of courts, basic infrastructure, etc.? A functional state is necessary for "corporate profits," and administering a functional state is costly.

For the record, I'm an economist, working in finance no less, and closer to the libertarian side of things than the opposite. But faulty logic used to score political points drives me nuts.

Government features like Patent (paid for during application) and infrastructure (paid for with utility and gas taxes) are paid separately. The court system is paid for with many fees by users and fines as well as all taxpayers. On top of the 59% government confiscation of corporate profits ...fees for patent, utility/gas taxes...fees for court use and potential fines to add insult to injury the corporation must employ legions of unproductive lawyers, accountants, and regulation compliance staff to do government work for the IRS, EPA, OSHA, and scores of other parasites.
