Don't steal from local businesses but only because you could be stealing from a big box store instead
Also because small business owners tend to be more vigilant and aggressive than minimum-wage entry-level retail workers
buying an entire keyboard to replace the broken keyswitch on my laptop
stealing the keyswitch and cap off the walmart display model insteadit's better for the environment, and fuck walmart
@DJWalnut Nope! Mind your own business!
@socalledunitedstates this is valid and solid advice!
@socalledunitedstates the small business will actually suffer for stolen product. Super-Chain stores are already charging you extra to cover their shoplifting loses.
@jack I don't give a damn about hurting small businesses. It's just more effective to hurt large businesses, and if the small businesses go under the large ones will just replace them anyway
But to be entirely clear, fuck small businesses too, unless they're coops or collectives
@socalledunitedstates that’s the problem. The shitty large ones that replace them and charge even more to ignore you.
Hurt the ones already directly insulting you in every way. That’s all I’m saying. The large business is the better mark in every way.
@jack Then it sounds like we're saying exactly the same thing
@socalledunitedstates yeah. I’m just reminding readers not to lose focus of the goal. The goal of not going hungry tonight.
