Tell us you're not listening without telling us you're not listening

This dumbass with a keyboard knows their worth and knows it is rarely if ever worth it to pay full price for stuff. Especially expensive necessities, for example meat, for which the prices skyrocketed thanks to the lockdowns and aren't going back down because of the horrifyingly astounding greed of big corps like Walmart who largely control the market.

Hence, stealing stuff like that from Walmart is justified.

Hell, it's justified simply because it is Walmart, but that is the more detailed justification.

It doesn't matter either way, though, because people are going to keep doing it regardless of what you think.

So carry on, dumbass keyboard warrior. The only one you're hurting is you. 😎
