No when corporate profits have ballooned thousands of percentage points meanwhile wages have remained low that’s the correct attitude. Fuck the rich capitalism is a system built in exploitation it’s right in the word itself. The intransitive verb at the root of capitalism “capitalize” is synonymous with “to take advantage of” and “to exploit” those sunglasses with $1400 retail value are worth not even 50% of that as soon as they are sold, most of them will end up in a landfill within a few months after they are sold. But please tell me more why I should feel bad about w Kathy bastards selling over priced garbage made by exploited people in third world countries paid less than $10 a day to manufacture dozens of sunglasses selling for hundreds of dollars each when they pay their store front retail workers garbage so they can’t afford to pay rent, pay for food, never mind save money to retire in old age?

Median rent in Providence and surrounding-areas for a 2 bedroom apartment is $1900 a month and full time minimum wage earns you $2140 BEFORE taxes but yes keep licking boots and defending the rich while you blame the dirty pipes for not having 3 roommates to cut costs and blame them for their avacado toast addiction why don’t you tell them to get a better job while simultaneously telling them oh geez nobody wants to work anymore! Because you can’t walk in and out of a Starbucks in 1 minute with your $6 latte because all these corporations want to pay literal shit so that the asshole garbage people at the top can spend more on weekend vacations than you will earn in 3 lifetimes of full time labor.

What a joke you corporate ass suckers are.

Lmao....who gives a flying fuck how expensive they are and how much they charge. Stealing is wrong no matter the price of any item. Most people who aren't POS just don't shop at those places and take their hard earn money to places they can afford. We don't steal because "fuck them for charging to much." Those women stole cuae they know just how expensive those glasses are and they know how much they can get. They didn't steal 10$ crappy glasses, did they? I shop where I can afford and don't steal from places I can't. Get a fucking grip man/women.

Fuck companies that exploit workers and sell their products for unreasonable amounts. I don’t care what you say above. Consumerism is a death cult and the only reason people buy this crap is because rich people have presented the idea that it’s worth owning. Those plastic crap glasses with maybe a small pellet of gold or jewels on them cost less than $10 to make per pair. And are sold by people who can’t even afford to pay rent because the company making the profits doesn’t care about its workers and would just buy slaves if it was legal to do so. But go ahead and tell me why that is defensible in any way shape or form.

Don't shop there... don't buy their products....they will go out of business.... stealing is wrong no matter what. It's pretty fucking simple. I don't care what companies charge for products. If it doesn't fit my budget, I don't shop there. I don't steal from there either. No one is forcing anyone to work there. Don't like the pay, then find another job. Don't like how the charge for their products, shop elsewhere, don't like the salary, find another job.

Wow you go pretty far out of your way to stand up for a company that you should just blankety condemn. I guess that’s what happens when you’ve been conditioned so thoroughly to defend capitalism at all costs.
