In reality, I of course see companies raising the barrier to entry through vertical integration and regulatory capture, among other things.
This article is about this happening less because it isn't profitable.

This is not what "consumer choice" means in this article, and per the article, the consolidation of retail choice at major retailers carves a spot for smaller businesses to offer the variety you're looking for.
In a sense, this is a damper on the thing you don't want - it's a slight nullification of the "Wal-Mart effect"
The answer is less populism, not more.
Almost none of the arrests have ended up in convictions.
The data does not bear this out

Shoplifting is trending up, it's just not the moral panic Republicans made it out to be.

It's also not generally driven by poor people trying to survive
Shoplifting losses grew 19.4% year-over-year; as a share of retail sales dollars, losses to theft increased 10.5%.
58% of organized retail crime is cargo theft.
So yeah dude is pretty much spot on. Check out the lists of what is typically stolen - things that are easily resold, and shit teens like (because teens steal a lot for a variety of reasons). Essentials don't make the list anywhere
What is ironic is that the civil war could have been avoided by the South just realizing they're wrong, and letting slavery be banned. Instead they freaked out and attacked US military installations while declaring secession.
So he's right, but not in a way any conservative would want to hear.
The referendum required a simple majority to pass, and it did indeed pass, bringing relief to children’s health advocates and the public health community. Consequently, SB 793 became effective on January 1, 2023. Violation of the law will result in a $250 fine per infraction and subject the retailer to any local regulations within their jurisdiction that may be more stringent than the state law.
This was passed via referendum, though, so describing it as just a revenue thing handled by the state without voter input is a bit misleading.
The reason we haven’t had a redo of the French revolution, despite having a more fucked up tax system and higher economic disparities, is because the massively rich wised up. They don’t go in public very much.
That's not why. It's because of 2 things.
1: the average person doesn't agree with you about murdering a bunch of people
2: mob rule is stupid and the French revolution gave rise to a literal emperor.
They did 0 harm to the economy.
There is nothing clickbait about the headline. It is an accurate headline supported by data within the article.
strong disagree on that one lol
No Presidential election since 2012 has been decided by who pays more, so there's some good news.
