The libs will usually say businesses shouldn't object because they are insured.
Honest question: what is the status of insurance regulation around the country on "redlining?" The natural market response to massive shoplifting would be for insurance rates in the afflicted jurisdictions to be driven through the roof. Retailers operating in these areas would be at a potentialy serious competitive disadvantage vs. retailers in still law-abiding places, at least in upscale market segments where merchandise is pricey enough that people will location shop.
Have the dems in states like NY and CA prohibited "redlining" and forced insurers to spread the cost across all localities?
Segregation and apartheid were in place for a reason.
