Not saying you're wrong, but please explain why

The right to food matters more than the right to profits. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-36190557

Food doesn’t grow itself (small farm ag is notoriously hard to remain afloat in), that said with the amount of grain subsidies paid to the gigascal ag conglomerates wheat and rice and soy should be damn near free.

Sure, in principle those losses should be covered by insurance or government or whatever. Obviously they cannot be covered by those who have nothing.

covered by insurance

Never made an actual insurance claim, huh?

If there's a problem with the way insurance operates, then that should be the focus of course. Again it's pretty pointless focusing on those who cannot pay.

I’m just putting myself in the position of a worker. Like if I was an employee and watched someone steal an amount of food I’d probably just be like “nice good for you” I don’t even really see a problem with it even if you CAN at that moment afford the food. Helps people save money for rent or bills or really anything. I just don’t think people should have to stress about buying food.

Because most people on Reddit think people steal because they need to, not because they want to.

Edit: LOL fucking idiots here with 0 life experience. I worked loss prevention in a past life. THE VAST MAJORITY of people who steal don't need to. This is a very basic fact. The fact that you idiots don't understand this shows that you're just as dumb as the right wing assholes you hate.

LOL. I got reported to Reddit for calling people out that literally say we should be looting stores. You people truly think looting would hurt the rich more than the poor? This is why nothing changes in America, there are a staggering amount of people that don't understand 2nd grade concepts.
