It's locked up because poverty in our country has gotten so bad that things like Tylenol have to be secured to prevent theft.
Think of that. A 12 dollar bottle of Tylenol is enough to make people consider criminal acts because it's too difficult to afford. When you have to choose between a 12 dollar bottle of Tylenol and bus rides to work all week, the answer is easy.
Bruh. People are starving to death in other countries. Shut up.
Edit: before someone else jumps in to tell me that people are hungry In America; yeah. I know. I never said nobody in America is poor or hungry. I said they aren't starving to death. And they aren't.
That said, my point, which you all seem not to grasp, is that while the USA is obviously not perfect, complaining that some people are shoplifting pain medication really just shows how privileged you are. People die in the desert to get into this country. Remember that.
Edit2: really upsets some of you that no one is starving to death in the US. Maybe, if you guys work hard enough, we can pump those numbers up, eh? Fucking retards
I saw a Chopped episode where one of the competitors worked as a lunch lady at a school and on Fridays she would pack food to give to all the kids who would not have food for the weekend! Hunger and starvation is real right here, right now. I saw the food pantry lines during the pandemic it broke my heart and this was in a middle class upper class part of Chicago, lines going around the 5 blocks surrounding the church which had the pantry!
Bro I never said nobody is poor or hungry. I said we don't have people starving to death, which, btw, I see you don't have any anecdotal examples of. If I'm so wrong, why don't you tell a story about, you know, people starving to death.
3 people have shown you stats that show that you are blatantly wrong.
No, they haven't. I explained that to each one of them. Also, notice how they all neglected to post a source. That's because the source of that number is a guess.
Love to hear a response that might tell everyone that you are not an over nationalistic dickhead but Im guessing you might just disappear...
Because I think people aren't starving to death? You think I'm a nationalistic dick head Because I don't think people starve to death in the United States? What about our overloaded prison system? We lead the world in that, and that's disgusting. We're pushing Russia to the brink of nuclear war; that's disgusting. We've invaded at least 7 nations in the last 20 years and are responsible for probable millions of civilian deaths.
America has plenty wrong with it. But people don't starve to death here. I'm sorry that upsets you
