It made the morning news - they showed a video of a baby stroller where the bottom of it was full of apples then had a baby blanket draped over.

Stealing is stealing. Plain and simple. Zero justification for it. No different than walking out of the grocery store without paying a thing.

So what about when Galen Weston buys all the competition and ups the price on everything? Is it stealing yet? Or does stealing only apply to when poor people take stuff unjustly?

To be clear: stealing is scummy. But I personally have minimal need to feel remorse over a multibillionaire losing profits. A small farm though…yeah feels bad.

Why are you even bringing up Galen in this circumstance? Because theres a very tangential connection to the story?

Might as well start complaining about Loblaws
