    Wrong. Rampant theft of labor, and a tacit refusal on the part of our oligarchs to alleviate the crushing weight of cost of living after accounting for rampant inflation and the constant transfers of wealth from the low and “middle”(lmao) classes to the rich over the last 25 years breeds criminals. The more society rots from within, the more criminals you’ll see. It’s a civic issue. It’s a societal issue. It’s unsustainable.

    To wit, rising criminality-- if it even exists, which I’m wary to believe given how often settlers cry wolf about it-- will not change until the material conditions guiding our nation changes.
