Wow, that's crazy, none of what you said came true

Almost as if assuming you know more about someone's identity than they do doesn't make you some critical-thinking free speech martyr, just a presumptuous preacher telling other people how to live and express themselves.

Nobody has any reason to believe anything Kavanaugh says, the man has a known history of lying.

But you just outlined use cases for crypto (illicit activity, etc) in your grandparent post while simultaneously claiming crypto can't be used as a currency. Which is it?

This seems like whataboutism to me. It's possible to enforce the law against more than one type of crime, actually.

>Shoplifting is the act of stealing from a retailer, not an individual

No. You can shoplift from a small business or a family owned convenience store, which is essentially stealing from an individual. Those packages on the trains belonged to individuals btw.

>but some people shoplift and society is falling apart?

So you are okay with people stealing from you, as long as they're poor?

>Let the market fix their broken supply chains

There is resistance in this thread to instating armed guards, stating that it's dystopian to enforce property laws.

Because the idea that property laws shouldn't be enforced and that the response to property crime is to give the thieves more stuff (housing and UBI) is a perverse incentive and a recipe for a lawless society where criminality is rewarded.

This isn't an argument against UBI or expanding housing per se, it's an argument against the people saying property laws should not be enforced because the criminals are poor.

Violence indeed would solve the problem of rail theft though. Don't want to get shot? Don't try to steal from a train.
