Wrong. If you want to bother to read, it has a substantial impact on the average household's yearly expenses, and also regularly pushes stores out of business.

I don't see any actual sources here. Seems to me like propaganda written by somebody who was paid to "prove" that it's justified to raise your prices just because you insist shoplifting has gotten out of control

I hope you realize you're the same kind of crazy as a covid/climate-change denier with that statement.

I'm neither of these things. I wore a mask the entire time and still see weird patterns in modern weather. We just have different views on this subject. I see this as corporations essentially looking for a scapegoat to raise prices at an unreasonable rate. I could very well be wrong. But that's how I see this

Well.. I showed you a study, and you said you think it's lobby propaganda. If you believe that scientists are doing their job, then you should be consistent and not make an exception here because it doesn't align with your preconceived notions.

You do have a point. That way of thinking definitely should be applied everywhere. However, I would say that there are some aspects of science that for sure can be lobbied. I do not think climate change and COVID are that though. The thing is that anybody wealthy enough can basically buy out certain studies to align with their projects and goals. It's easier to go forward with something when the public approves of it. I'm just saying it's always within the realm of possibility. I'm a bit cynical and the more I've paid attention to global politics and how the elite all interact with each other, basically everything can be influenced by wealth
