"maybe consider creating or obtaining the things you need directly, rather than selling your time to one boss for cash buy what you need from another?"

I'm all ears.

And yes, shoplifting for groceries as a long term way of going about life is just ridiculous. The math just doesn't add up. Statistically, even if you only have a 1% chance of getting caught from every single individual trip to the store, what that means is that after about 65+ trips, your chances of having never been caught by LP begin to drop down significantly... And you can only get busted doing this so many times before it very quickly becomes not worth it, and like, again, the widespread implementation of Facial Recognition is about to completely fuck the game up for all time unless somebody comes up with an ingenious, generalizable way to defeat FR that doesn't heat you out in the eyes of ordinary people + LP.

There was a great article written a while back by Tom Nomad critiquing the fetishization of so-called "illegalist culture", defined as a ritual breaking of the law for its own 'performative' sake, which is so true. How many people act like their shoplifting is some sort of 'ethical consumerism'? It's a really great read, but anyways we're getting off topic.

Yeah this virus is fucking awful. I'm healthy but my elders are vulnerable. The social and economic effects have been devastating. I heard somewhere that this shit might run from 6 months to a year. If so, man, I don't know wtf I'm gonna do...
