The same clowns who gave billions to black lives matter? That wasn’t looting their own coffers?

Black Lives Matter foundation received over $90M in donations last year
By Lee Brown Feb.24, 2021

After the murder of George Floyd ignited nationwide protests, corporate America acknowledged it could no longer stay silent and promised to take an active role in confronting systemic racism.

From Silicon Valley to Wall Street, companies proclaimed “Black lives matter.” JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon adopted the posture of former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s protests against police brutality and took a knee with bank employees. McDonald’s declared Floyd and other slain Black Americans “one of us.”

This is what happens when your greenpeace neighbor gets to your wife and convinces her to get you to stop killing rats in your barn because rats are a vital part of the eco system.

People who know nothing about rats supporting the humane treatment of rats are now shocked the rats have completely over run and made it inhumane to go into the barn. Lololol.

The illegitimate government isn’t going to do squat. They are allowing the crime sprees to continue.

Corporations encouraged the black, racist savages by giving them millions of dollars, and now the corporations are upset that the savages bit the hand that fed them?

Go look up chutzpah, useful idiots.

Why don't these CEOs stop the problem at the source. Start demanding local and state Rats to enforce the law, or repeal ridiculous lax laws that allow people to steal up to a certain amount.

They want the Feds to get involved so small businesses and sellers will get punished or locked out of web sales.

If they won’t do what it takes to stop the looting, why would they expect anyone else to do what it takes to prevent the trafficking of those looted goods?

You and I both know that if stores start hiring bikers for security, the Feds will suddenly get off of their sorry asses and arrest them. Or worse.

The proposed law is silly. This will accomplish absolutely nothing other than drive small, legitimate sellers offline. Oh and grow the dark web.

You know there might be an easier way to curb these thefts. Maybe support the people who support law and order. When the new American role models start hijacking Fed Ex and USPS trucks we can listen to Bezos squeal too.

They should go on ebay and buy their stuff back cheaper than they can get if from the OEM’s.

Wonder why we don’t see more of that. The Mafia made billions hijacking trucks and looting cargo ships.

Imagine the value of several Prime Semi’s. And today’s tractors have automatic transmissions.

Of course I know the answer.
