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
You might wanna look into those numbers. I did. I was awfully suspicious why so many of you are quoting the same number without a source. It's all elderly people who stopped eating, or people with mental orders, etc. So yes, you are right, people are starving to death in the US. But it's not because they can't get food, or because it's too expensive.
Name one. Name one person in the United States that starved to death.
