      I am telling you what your tweet says, not what it means. What I think happened is you made a tweet, and then when people made fun of you for thinking this hurt Adam's reputation, you retroactively tried to make a bad justification for why you said something less dumb.

      I wouldn’t characterize the way you did. Though I will say the general gist of what you’re saying is possible. Adam can rest assured that most people in SF didnt know who he even was until he decided to involve himself in local SF issues and politics

      I promise that most people in SF still have no idea who he is, because most people don't read the SF chronicle.

      The pt about not knowing who Adam is could be true. But the Chronicle is the main local paper San Franciscans read.

      I'm not contending that people are reading some other local paper, I'm saying that most people don't read the SFC. SFC circulation has been dropping for decades and was less than 250k in 2009. The population of just SF proper, not even Oakland/Daly or the greater bay is 875k.

      ..... Yes. It is. I'm not calling the SF chronicle management stupid or something. I'm saying that an opinion piece in the SF chronicle won't bring Adam Johnson to citywide attention.

      Are there people who liked his piece? Sure. And a few yrs ago, it prob would have been the majority of San Franciscans. Today, I think most San Franciscans think his piece is out of touch w reality.

      I think most SFs will not read the piece of have any opinion on it at all. I also have enough faith in humanity that I believe most people will not, like you, scream "NO! WE MUST KEEP STEALING FROM THE WORKERS AND NEVER WRITE ABOUT IT!"

      Now you started engaging in the same behavior as some of these other people on here which is so not constructive. Retail theft and wage theft are NOT mutually exclusive. One can argue that wage theft is an issue while also acknowledging that the retail theft is a big problem

          You seem to believe retail theft and wage theft are mutually exclusive because when one single news piece talks about wage theft. The only piece about this matter at all. You yell about how it should have been a 310th piece about a single shoplifting incident that had 309 already

          No one is yelling except you guys. And the problem with the piece is the author is comparing retail theft to wage theft and making it mutually exclusive. And also, there is more than one incident that’s now gone viral.
