So I guess your saying since stopping one theft from happening won't significantly change that markup, you should not even try to stop theft (even if bringing down prices is a good thing for poor people who don't steal). But by that same logic, why bother trying to reduce your carbon footprint? I mean look, if I see someone walking out of the grocery store with food I'm not gonna say anything. But I wouldn't extent that to retail theft in general.
Easy, one is about survival of the planet and species. The other is not giving a damn about an organization that is insured for that exact purpose.
Also, there is no "bringing down prices" they're, at best, going to just keep increasing a bit slower.
That is true.
