Stuff is "locked up" due to theft.
That store has/had so much theft it became cheaper to pay for all that plexiglass and locks to secure the merchandise than to allow it to keep getting stolen.
Check the laws in the area.
Do they not prosecute "small" shoplifting crimes?
I don't see anything being locked behind plexiglass in the Walmart near me.
....but then stealing a pack of gum could possibly get ya arrested here.
The guy has no imagination.Ex-mayor Frank Rizzo lmao

I watched this video clip of a Christian–Muslim debate and the single most jaw-dropping moment wasn’t an argument — it was a 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜.
Nobody shouted.
Nobody stormed off.
Nobody even had a comeback.
Because when the Christian speaker put the numbers on the screen, the whole place froze.
𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭-𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐌𝐮𝐬𝐥𝐢𝐦-𝐦𝐚𝐣𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐬 — 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐢𝐭.
These aren’t opinions.
These aren’t insults.
These are the published consanguinity rates paired with average national IQs:
𝐏𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧 — 𝟔𝟓% — 𝐈𝐐 ~𝟖𝟏
𝐒𝐚𝐮𝐝𝐢 𝐀𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐚 — 𝟓𝟖% — 𝐈𝐐 ~𝟕𝟔
𝐔𝐀𝐄 — 𝟓𝟒% — 𝐈𝐐 ~𝟖𝟐
𝐈𝐫𝐚𝐧 — 𝟒𝟎% — 𝐈𝐐 ~𝟖𝟎
𝐘𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧 — 𝟒𝟓% — 𝐈𝐐 ~𝟔𝟑
𝐐𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐫 — 𝟑𝟎% — 𝐈𝐐 ~𝟖𝟏
𝐎𝐦𝐚𝐧 — 𝟑𝟔% — 𝐈𝐐 ~𝟕𝟗
𝐒𝐲𝐫𝐢𝐚 — 𝟑𝟗% — 𝐈𝐐 ~𝟕𝟒
𝐓𝐮𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐲 — 𝟐𝟓% — 𝐈𝐐 ~𝟖𝟕
𝐉𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐧 — 𝟑𝟐% — 𝐈𝐐 ~𝟖𝟎
𝐄𝐠𝐲𝐩𝐭 — 𝟑𝟐% — 𝐈𝐐 ~𝟕𝟔
𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐜𝐨 — 𝟐𝟔% — 𝐈𝐐 ~𝟔𝟕
𝐌𝐚𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐚 — 𝟒𝟑% — 𝐈𝐐 ~𝟔𝟎
𝐒𝐮𝐝𝐚𝐧 — 𝟑𝟎% — 𝐈𝐐 ~𝟕𝟗
𝐀𝐟𝐠𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧 — 𝟒𝟔% — 𝐈𝐐 ~𝟖𝟐
𝐀𝐥𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚 — 𝟑𝟗% — 𝐈𝐐 ~𝟕𝟔
And here’s the part that makes it even more staggering:
𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭-𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧’𝐭 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐌𝐮𝐬𝐥𝐢𝐦 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 — 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲’𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐝.
In some places, it’s considered preferred.
In others, it’s pushed as a way to “keep wealth in the family.”
But the biological cost is massive, generational, and measurable.
By contrast?
𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐧-𝐦𝐚𝐣𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝟏% — 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐬𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐧, 𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞.
There’s no mystery here.
No conspiracy.
Just biology and math.
𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐝𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐞.
𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐢𝐭, 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬.
It’s not “hate.”
It’s not “phobia.”
It’s the cold reality of what cousin-marriage norms do to nations over centuries.

Minnesota?Liberals are upset that President Trump has called tampon Timmy Walz a retard.
Well, the average IQ of a Somali is 68. You read that correctly. 68. Tampon Timmy allowed them to bilk Michigan taxpayers out of more than a billion dollars.
I would say that President Trump is correct.
