Why did you gesture at conspiricism instead of dealing with the substance of the article? Nowhere in that tweet did I make it mutually exclusive, I am giving priority to the problem that adds up to millions of dollars a year in theft from ppl, over a corp insured against theft.

I didn’t gesture at conspiricism. It’s about his reputation and the reputation of the chron. That’s where critical reading and reading comp are impt. And retail theft is costing millions of dollars in losses in SF and it’s not as simple as corps being insured against the theft

The dollar amt is actually the point. The fact that he was paid pennies and then admitted he is an ideologue only shows that he’s a blind partisan advocate (that’s the definition of ideologue) who doesn’t care about his reputation at all bc his POV is dogmatic

If you don't think the people/sources pushing the narrative that this is shuttering stores that Target & Walgreens announced they'd be closing months ago are also ideologues, you're mistaken. That's an awfully convenient excuse not to deal with the substance of the article, tho.

What I didn’t realize and now do is that Johnson is going to have the same opinion regardless of the facts, the data or the evidence. His opinion is worth the pennies he was paid. And you’re right, he doesn’t care about his reputation. At all.

What you’re missing is that the media, the residents of SF, etc have spent decades dealing w retail theft. They don’t cry wolf. The CJS in SF is progressive. The most progressive in the nation. The idea that this is a couple viral videos and not a real problem is wrong.

And juxtaposing the wage theft to the retail theft is also wrong. His opinion piece showed he has no actual idea about what’s actually happening in SF, day to day, in these stores. And I’m not talking about the corps, I’m talking about the employees and people who shop there

And work there. His piece did not compare apples to apples. It didn’t do any sort of deep dive into the retail theft that’s occurring. It was a lazy piece meant to get likes from his echo chamber and fell flat in SF.

It's an article about the media response to the viral video, not an exploration of the effects of retail theft. Had you read the article, you'd have saved yourself a fuckton of indignant outrage, and maybe have learned abt the way media treats corps different from their workers.

Lazy piece. Lazy pt. There is no video of Walmart’s wage theft for people to watch and have go viral. It’s not an apples to apples comparison he’s making.

The media are what made the video go viral, lmao. He's comparing coverage of theft to coverage of theft, you can repeat "not apples to apples" as many times as you'd like, but it still won't make it true. That your criticism is this myopic is incredibly revealing.
