dot Com go and check that out. Tonight. We're gonna be talking about
shrinkage. And it's not the kindthat George costanzahead on Seinfeld. Yeah,
it's not from being in cold Water. And if you've seen that episode,

(01:51):
you know what I'm talking about.It's the kind that comes from retail locations.
Retail stores in certain city are havinga big problem with shrinkage. Why
is it important because it plays exactlyinto the woke agenda. What is woke?
Woke is the top down system peoplein power put in place in order

(02:15):
to depopulate. And I am goingto show you why shrinkage is such a
big deal. And it's kind offunny in the ironic way how the people
that support some things happen to beon the side that support the shrinkage.

(02:36):
I mean, they're basically causing thisto happen and complaining about it the entire
way. But I came across anarticle and this article got me to thinking
about something. So it says GiantFood to remove health and beauty products from
DC stores amid rampant theft. NowGiant Food I'm not familiar with. I'm

(03:01):
in the North. I'm not inDC. I'm obviously down here in Florida
and from Tennessee. I lived inCalifornia and other places. I did stay
in New York for a while,but I'm not familiar with Giant Food.
But according to this article on PM, they're going to remove health and beauty

(03:24):
products from their DC stores due torampant theft. Giant Food in Washington,
DC is terminating sales of all nationalbrands from health and Beauty aisles and will
now only carry store brands. Itwill also require an employee to verify shoppers

(03:50):
receipts before exiting the store. I'msure that is going to end quite well.
In a statement to The Washington Post, Giants president Ira Kress said,
we want to continue to be ableto serve the community, but we can't
do so at the level of significantloss or risk to our associates that we

(04:14):
have today. The irony in thefirst sentence here, the risk to the
associates that we have today, theirony. Earlier this month, DC News
Now reported rumors that Giant was potentiallyclosing its Alabama Avenue location because the issues

(04:38):
with theft and violence were quote gettingworse, not better. Officials said at
the time that they had no plansto close the store, but theft has
cost the company hundreds of thousands ofdollars. How would you like to be
any business owner? I was goingto say a small business owner, but
just any business owner with all theseleft this wackos out here basically robbing the

(05:02):
place in California saying you can robup to what seven hundred dollars or something
a trip. I'm not sure ifthat's correct, but from what I understand,
you know, as long as it'sbelow seven hundred dollars, you just
walk in and grab it, goout sell it on eBay. It's a
business plan at this point. Andwhy wouldn't it be and why wouldn't you

(05:25):
do it? This guy, Kresssays quote to say theft has risen tenfold
in the last five years would notbe an understatement. He noted an increase
in violent incidents during the same period. Of course, the last thing I
want to do is closed stores,but I've got to be able to run

(05:45):
them safely and profitably. Rising retailtheft became an issue across the country,
which has caused several businesses to takemeasures to secure merchandise and others to close
stores this month. Dick's Sporting GoodsCEO Lauren Hobart blamed organized rental crime on
its loss in profits. And I'llget to another article here in just a

(06:10):
moment about all of that. Shenoted that the company had a three point
six percent rise in sales but atwenty three percent decrease in profits twenty three
so that's twenty five percent during itssecond quarter. Who is this hurt more

(06:34):
than anybody? It hurts the peoplethat work at Dick's Sporting Goods. Walmart
announce in March it's closing all ofits locations in Portland, Oregon. What
a trash heap that Portland organ hasbecome. Huh? Good for you,
Portland Oregon. You're basically I don'tknow at what do you even say about

(07:00):
Portland, Oregon? I know peoplelove it, and even a few years
ago, before all of this began, I thought about moving out there.
I know it's wet, I knowit's dreary, I know it's writing all
the time, but you know,I thought, Wow, Portland, Oregon,
it sounds pretty nice. Not anymore, forget forget about that place.

(07:23):
Man, Like who wants to bein Portland, Oregon, Like, for
real, are you anybody due torampant shoplifting. That's not the only problem
Portland, Oregon has. By theway, Portland people, we love you.
If you're on the right against crime, you need to escape a Walgreens

(07:47):
in Chicago redesigned its stores so thatemployees now take customer orders with only two
aisles in the front. And I'mgoing to stop the article here because it
isn't anyway, but I found thatespecially interesting because anybody that's ever gone to
a like O'Reilly's auto parts store,you know they've got winshell wipers and things

(08:11):
of that nature, oil and whateverelse retail goods out in the front.
But if you need something like analternator, you're gonna have to go up
to the counter, talk to theguy, explain what you have and what
you need, and that particular personwalks to the back and grabs you what
you need if they happen to haveit in stock, and typically it'll come

(08:35):
three days later. Three days later, of course, but I found it
really interesting that Walgreens is at leasttrying out something new and something to do.
And I think possibly potentially this isgoing to be the retail trend gone
forward. The changes at the storeon two E Roosevelt Road and South Loop

(09:01):
area, but most of the merchandiseand owls behind staff corner quarters or counters
which customers can shop digitally through Kiosk. Quote. We are testing a new
experience at this store with new concept, technologies and practices to enhance the experience
of our customers and team members.It continues to offer retail products and pharmacy

(09:26):
services, just with a new lookand field that focuses on shopping digitally for
your convenience. Yeah, I thinkevery single store practically anywhere, is going
to have to go to this model. You're going to have to go to
this model. Everything is behind thecounter. You walk up to the counter,

(09:48):
either you go to the Kiosk youalready have it in your phone,
or you walk up and you tellsomeone what you need and what you're looking
for. They send a message tothe back. The back goes a picker
of some type goes back and picksit out and brings it to the front,
and before it slides through the window, like your cheeseburger at a restaurant,

(10:11):
you have to pay for it andotherwise is going to be tight security
everywhere, and you're not going tobe able to get anything any other way,
especially valuable items, which, bythe way, toilet paper under Joe
Biden costs nine billion dollars now,so that's a valuable item that is probably

(10:33):
going to be behind the counter.So you've got that. But here's where
it gets really really interesting. Soyou've got businesses that are closing down,
they're locking merchandise up, they're shutting, they're shutting the entire operation, like
Walmart in Portland. I'm sure Walmartin Portland fed a lot of people,

(10:58):
right especially if they had the superstore, which is the grocery store, combined
with the general merchandise store that they'vealways had. I'm sure a lot of
people went to Walmart like I doevery Saturday morning practically and buy some groceries.

(11:18):
Here are some people that really careabout food deserts. Oh my goodness,
food deserts. Food deserts. Haveyou ever heard this term? Food
desert is where you've got to goa long distance to buy fruits, fruits
and vegetables, fresh fruit, freshvegetable, good food. All of that.

(11:41):
You've got to go a little ways. It's just not close by.
And this is for people that aremainly poor in the sense that they don't
have something to drive. Maybe theytake a bus, they commute that something
else. Chicago is full of deserts. New York City full of deserts.

(12:01):
Other places, big metropolitan areas fullof deserts, food deserts. Listen to
these people the food mpronment environment.Well, that's because I set environment,
because they want to be empiring.Food Empowerment Project FEP recognizes the problem with

(12:26):
the term food desert desert, definedby the USDA, is mostly being about
proximity to food providers, rather thanconsidering other factors such as racism, cost
of living, people being time poorand cash poor, cultural appropriateness of available

(12:48):
foods, the ability of people togrow their own foods, etc. FEP
considers terms like food apartheid and foodoppression to be more accurate, but since
food desert is the term that ismost commonly used, we have kept it
in our title. You can alreadytell that these people are pretty cooky.

(13:16):
These people are a bunch of leftistnuts, but they have a good heart,
and we're going to read about itright now. Food deserts can be
described as geographic areas where residents accessto affordable, healthy food options, especially
fresh fruits and vegetables, is restrictedor non existent due to the absence of

(13:41):
grocery stores within convenience traveling distance.For instance, according to a report prepared
by Congress, something about two pointthree million people, or two percent of
all US households live with one milefrom supermarket and do not own a car,

(14:05):
so they go through a whole lotof these problems with not having food,
fruits, and vegetables in a district. It's insane that these are the
same people that also typically from thewording and language that they use, support

(14:28):
the BLM movement and riots. Thedefund the police, pull all the police
out, let people go and roba place blind, shrinkage, rob it
blind. No police can arrest them, can stop them at the store,

(14:48):
can't do anything. And these peopleare complaining that food deserts exist number one
and number two, the food thatis around is unhealthy and is killing people.
That is the plan that they have. How much more clear can it
be? How much more clear canit be if you're advocating for BLM riots,

(15:15):
burning down places, if you're advocatingfor people to just go in and
look whatever they want. Police can'tdo anything. Defund the police. If
you're advocating for stores to stop sellingdrugs, which is how the this began,
then obviously you're also advocating to killpeople. Now that what I read

(15:39):
this right here, when I readthis, they may be nice people that
really care, really care, butthis is ghosting. This is gaslighting.
More than ghosting, this is gaslighting. It's absolutely gaslighting. Oh, we
care so much about the food andthe deserts, and people have to travel

(16:00):
and they just can't get to thefood that they need, and they're getting
fatter, and the health problems aregrowing and people are dying because we have
food deserts. You cannot speak outof this side of your mouth and then
turn around and say burn it down, BLM, defund the police. You

(16:22):
need shoplifting, go ahead and doit. All these other stores are closing
because of all the riots and allthe police not there, and all the
laws that say in California, Iguess it's seven hundred dollars or something.
Anything below seven hundred dollars Is thata day? Is that an hour?

(16:45):
Is that every other ten minutes?Like if I was in California, could
I go into Macy's still seven hundreddollars worth of merchandise, put it in
the car, smoke a cigarette,walk back in, so still another seven
hundred dollars. I mean, like, what is is that? Daily?

(17:10):
How does that even make sense?I don't know. I don't know what
the law is. If you don'ttell me in the comments below, I
have no idea. But that's whothese people are. They advocate for the
fact that they don't want people tostarve in these food deserts, and yet
they also advocate for the fact thatpeople need to starve or and or get

(17:30):
fat obese, have a lot ofhealth issues. They're just trying to have
it both ways. It's just it'sa big gas. Like the people that
care about food and food deserts inparticular, people getting fat, not having

(17:52):
enough to eat, not enough healthymaterial to feed themselves, all of these
things. The same people that careso much care so little that they advocate
for the things that make them havea job. It's called grift. It's
also called woke. Woke the topdown system people in power put in place

(18:15):
in order to depopulate these people thatare complaining about food deserts and all of
this, and they go out andthey raise money and probably millions or possibly
millions of dollars to help people.I Illinois just actually pass the twenty million
dollars legislation or something. The governorI think just signed it to help with

(18:37):
these food deserts. Yeah, butyou're still for defunding the police. You're
still not looking at all the theftthat's happening. You don't care one bit
about businesses shutting down, retail locations, including places like Portland, Oregon Walmart
shutting down, no longer sell foodin neighborhoods that need food to be sold

(19:03):
to them. It's only going toget worse. It's part of the bigger
plan. It's part of the biggerplan. If you enjoyed the commentary,
