Isn't it the legislative branch that is captured, rather than the judicial? I don't see the courts failing to uphold the law (save for the supreme court which fails to uphold the Constitution, but that doesn't weigh on the everyday person's life much, as we saw through the elections). Insurance companies (mostly) don't actually break the law. It's the legislators that continue to fail to address our problems, and who get paid to look the other way while the working class is looted.


No. Wage theft is a far bigger problem then shoplifting, but which one gets prosecuted more?


1) Not comparable crimes. One happens in broad daylight in front of everyone, and the other is an almost always a case of one person's word against another, and unreported.

2) how many prosecutions do you think there are for shoplifting? I'm genuinely interested to know, and couldn't find it.

3) Even if you ignore this, the public cares a lot about shop lifting! you dont need a judicial capture conspiracy.


Por que no los dos?


I specified why:

you may of course disagree, I'd like to hear your perspective.
