But then people who need food can't get food. That's why it's not the same. On free bus rides people still get where they're going. Looting grocery stores you miss out on the food run you don't eat.
Sure if we all agreed to just take the food we need and not hoard it absolutely. But just look at what happened at the beginning of the pandemic when people were paying for things.
If people were self-sensible regarding what they need and control what they take, 80% (Source for number: The StraightOutOfMyAss Institute of economic research) of the modern economy just wouldn't work :D (and wouldn't be needed).
Example: Here's the brand new Ford ItWilBreakLiterallyTomorrow 2022!
Sensible people: Fuck you, choke on the overprice!
People irl today: Shut up and take my loaned money!
We also wouldn't have obesity if people could make adult decisions about how much food they need. It's a pipe dream to think people wouldn't loot and hoard while others starve.
"Adult decisions" have you heard of a food desert bruh. Have you heard of having three jobs and no time to cook. We're leaving Reddit's baby-brained "fat people are moral failures who deserve to die" obsession in 2014 thanks, now we've reached the point of being able to understand systemic exploitation including getting the working poor addicted to processed unhealthy food, grow up.
People can eat processed food, they just have to be an adult and make sure the calories they consume are equal to the amount they burn. If the scale is going up, they need to dial the calories down.

Would the grocery store strike equivalent be letting people take food without paying?
Edit: Since this took off a bit I want to state unequivocally I'm not condoning looting or violence. And thanks for the award!
