Apparently this was only in California and the 4.5 million is only 22% of the estimated total stolen from employees! Businesses can definitely be trusted to regulate themselves, 🙄

Robin Hood kills a deer? The whole kingdom knows by the next day. The Sheriff kills a villager while sacking the place under the pretext of collecting taxes? Bet that villager was "no angel" or something.

My job stole $500 from me but that was a mom and pop grocery store when I was a teenager. I was able to get it back because I had kept track of my work hours. Ever since then, I always kept track of hours in minimum wage jobs.

Here's a thought: pay employees a living wage, then maybe they wouldn't be tempted to pinch stuff! 🤷♂

It's simple. Walgreens has influence and can make a concerted effort to keep things out of (or in) the news.

and Now for Something Completely Different! The Average American today lives at the same address for about 5 years and then moves. The reason is that LOCAL Business no longer exist as they did before 1980 and most jobs create a 'nomadic corp tribe' where Corporations become the Longest Relationship between people and their lives. This makes COMMUNITIES and LONG TERM Housing nearly impossible. PASS LAWS in Your Cities to Forbid Corporations 'City Business Lic.' and issue 'City Business Lic.' only to people who actually live in the Communities. THIS INCLUDES BANKS even if that means CITY SUPPORTED 'Savings and Loans' for the community. .... there are several reasons for doing this, but 1st is to keep the MONEY that comes into the city kept in the city as much as possible. 2nd is increasing 'competition' with many smaller businesses all competing for Workers of all kinds and as such Raising the Wages within the Community. ...... What do International Corporations do? --- sell cheap products that brake and suppress wages and steal Tax Revenue from the Cities and Towns in their area.

So is there any way to start fighting this kind of mess and tax the rich at 90% so I can stop sleeping in my car working 75 hours a week for doordash?

The purpose of corporate news is to maintain the status quo for the corporate elite.
