Nobody needs to rob a Shake Shack anyway. Robberies are not a product of need.

- seanmcdirmid 3y agoIf the perp needs fent and Shake Shack has cash that can be used to purchase fent, the robbery is a product of need.
- bagels 3y agoNobody needs fentanyl.
- blackshaw 3y agoYou do understand what the word "addiction" means, right?
- seanmcdirmid 3y agoThey definitely “think” they need fent.
- lobf 3y agoWhat are robberies a product of?
- telotortium 3y agoGreed.
- lobf 3y agoWhy are they correlated with low-income areas then? Surely greed is more or less evenly distributed in the population… do you think there might be a reason why robberies aren’t?
- philwelch 3y agoThe typical robber is stupid, impulsive, and antisocial. All of which are traits that contribute to low incomes. There are relatively intelligent robbers who manage to pull off diamond heists and the like, but these are a minority of robbers and aren’t a threat to your typical local retail business. Also, as crime becomes endemic in a community, anybody who can afford to leave does so. Businesses close as well, reducing economic opportunities for the people left behind.
- bagels 3y agoReally, it's probably both. Why do rich people steal money? Why do poor people steal designer purses?
