Whenever corporations whine about theft or right wing politicians overinflate the prevalence of petty crime for elections I really couldn't give a shit.

Because in reality, wage theft accounts for more money stolen than all other forms of theft combined. And that money is being stolen from actual workers instead of soulless corporations.
