    “We saw a blip in <sale/metric/police safety> and we think it correlates with the general unhappiness of the populace, as displayed here, here, and maybe here.”

    Blips can cause panic, even small ones

      Is it supposed to hit profit margins? Because I doubt it will, people will still be buying necessities at the same amount and call me cynical, but I believe almost everyone will be buying the non-necessities the days before and after.

      To be candid, it just sounds like the most toothless, do-nothing, slacktivism kind of protest that’s only meant to generate backpats

        it could turn violent and do real damage to capital, that’s the beauty of an unfocused protest – the night is ever young
