What a fun place	walkaway
There has been an attempt by gangs but they don’t have the same control as the the Italian Mob did during its hey day. In Chicago, in some communities (Little Village) the Latin Kings own many of the streets, pay off the cops and collect protection money from businesses. They tag you which is a warning, you pay off the local political precinct captain who then gives a cut to the gang.	walkaway
They'd be fined $18,000 for protecting their "clients" product.	walkaway
Reminds me of a joke. What's the diffrence between the mob and the government?	walkaway
They both will take money from you at the point of a gun, but once you pay the mob will actually give you protection back	walkaway
That’s actually a really good idea. Let me make a phone call.	walkaway
Why offer them anything if you can get a cut of their profits in a smash n grab?	walkaway
Fucken RICO man, Fucken RICO….	walkaway
and Big businesses.	walkaway
California also punished small businesses for remaining open during COVID, but if you've got HIV and don't tell your partner you're good to go.	walkaway
Also, if you're 25 and have sex with a 15 year old in California, that's fine. No need to register as a sex offender.	walkaway
Destruction of the middle class is the goal.	walkaway
I'm pretty sure that's the goal. Same reason for the lockdowns.	walkaway
Where did ALL the business go?? Is more like it lol	walkaway
It's a feature not a bug.	walkaway
Is California thinking that the movie Idiocracy was a road map? Guess small store owners will have to go back to the old west style of store management. Everything behind the counter and locked up.	walkaway

CA guard card costs 60 bucks and takes like 20 hours. E z loophole	walkaway
It’s a good idea but government regulations would make it kind if impractical. Your employees would have to be 18, and pass background checks that they probably wouldn’t want to pay out of their own pocket for so you’d have to reimburse them. Then within 6 months they’d have to undergo 36 hours of training by a licensed instructor so you’d have to pay for that as well. Then they’d also need 8 hours of additional training each year. And there probably would be increased insurance costs by having your employees be security guards, and they’d probably want pay raises if you’re asking them to do their regular jobs and they are also designated as security, whether they have to do anything security related or not. And now you’ve just gotten all your employees free security license so if they wanted they could get a second job on weekends or their off days picking up shifts for a security company and they might decide they like doing that because it’s easier or pays better than your business so you might start losing employees you just invested a lot of extra money in. That last part might not be an issue because of some… laws? Regulations? Company policies? I’m not sure but sometimes you can’t work for two companies at the same time in the same field or you can’t leave a company and immediately do the same job for another one. Like some anti-competitive clause or something. Obviously I’m not too well versed on it, I just know it exists in some instances.	walkaway
So I lived in CA for a short time in the early 2000's. I worked as a licensed security guard for places like Target. You actually have to go through training. Now the training was two 8hr classes you take over the weekend and were basically useless but you had to take them to obtain a license to become an official security guard and I think it was a $500 course, so not exactly cheap back then.	walkaway
Knowing CA I'm guessing it's even worse now to get a license now	walkaway
Why mandate mask wearing if the masks do nothing?	walkaway
To prescribe a little “bat therapy”?	walkaway
It will just be Amazon.	walkaway
Now hiring. Rooftop Koreans or similarly skilled individuals.	walkaway
Bingo. Glad there are some intelligent people paying attention.	walkaway
I would r/walkaway lol	walkaway
Hah!! 🤣🤣	walkaway
Yeah, the bill has been amended to the opposite of this headline. The bill was edited to remove the requirement that workplace safety policy has a paragraph about shoplifting, AND that the policy must be non-intervention. Business could still choose to have a written policy on shoplifting, and now that policy may require intervention but I suspect no employer would want that.	walkaway
Even if so? It's super-easy to add them back later, without anyone knowing about it or voting on it.	walkaway
Every store, no matter how small, has security cams running 24/7.	walkaway
The criminal, if caught, will tattle in a heartbeat and the staff will at least be fired if not arrested :x	walkaway
The goal is to close all brick and mortar stores, or to have face recognition installed in all stores for entry.	walkaway
You're all playing right into their hands	walkaway
from what I've seen it's just a bill to stop employees from confronting shoplifters for the safety of the employees and probably the stores' policy about intervention of theft and bodily harm to any patron even if it is a shoplifter, it also stated it's not applicable to security guards so stores can probably hire security and do the necessary action to prevent shoplifters or a possible shooter while shoplifting so minimal harm can be done to employees or patrons inside the store.	walkaway
overall this is probably good since there are just too many people who think they can be heroes by stopping shoplifters which is why employees get fired even stopping shoplifters since this would result in harm or death to an employee or patron inside the store or outside.	walkaway
And MSN news is a better alternative? Not saying I buy any mainstream news narrative, but c'mon man.	walkaway
[Here is the actual bill]( live and with every amendment and current standing. That was very easy to find and apparently very hard for anyone else to look up.	walkaway
Simping for big companies who can afford security! Yayyyyy	walkaway
When people talk about California, I've never heard a single person talk about a robust small business environment	walkaway
You hear about Hollywood, Apple, the place where all the famous people go, etc.	walkaway
In other words, BIG business and not small business	walkaway
Enjoy	walkaway
I’d imagine that organized crime is using this to buy up distressed property.	walkaway
Instead of the Mob running the racket, it's the damn state.	walkaway
Nice as a joke but it's really easy for the mob to do what they're offering when it's protection from (checks notes) the mob.	walkaway
Theft is the new big business.	walkaway
Oh, the big businesses will stay, despite getting pilloried when they put in "anti-shoplifting" measures, like keeping everything under lock and key, maybe going to the same sort of thing gas stations use, that rotating window thing and you have to tell the cashier what you want so they can go get it...	walkaway
The bill allows intervention if it’s trained security company which big companies have the money to pay for. This will just ruin small businesses.	walkaway
It's the most moral and holy place in the world... for criminals.	walkaway
What does that have to do with ruining small businesses? Is Apple paying all the small businesses to stay open? Their economy has nothing to do with that.	walkaway
Well, for starters, there's literally a YouTube video with almost a million views with my face being zoomed in on for 15 minutes by a TV news helicopter at SF city hall while I was being hazed and cattle-prodded by an angry mob of Commies. Does that count?	walkaway
He can, but he doesn't wanna. Who can blame him?	walkaway
Sadly, that's exactly how they think.	walkaway
Current Casualties: Oregon, Washington State, Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada (on the teetering edge)	walkaway
Soon-to-be casualties, containing cities that have already been taken over: Texas, Arizona, Utah, Idaho, maybe Montana (particularly Bozeman, which thanks to remote workers has houses that cost 75% more than the national average while local salaries are 50% below national average).	walkaway
Also, on the East Coast, Vermont was once a solid red state. At least NH is still pretty libertarian.	walkaway
Yeah I’m sure you’re right but it just makes me mad that mom & pop businesses who are probably often folks from other countries, are now going to go out of business.	walkaway
If I had a small business, I would seriously consider it. It’s either that or move.	walkaway

besides the mob also protected against small gangs and local thugs just by saying a place is mob protected. Can you imagine if one of these flash looting mobs tried to get away with ransacking a Italian mob protected business back in the day?	walkaway

There has been an attempt by gangs but they don’t have the same control as the the Italian Mob did during its hey day. In Chicago, in some communities (Little Village) the Latin Kings own many of the streets, pay off the cops and collect protection money from businesses. They tag you which is a warning, you pay off the local political precinct captain who then gives a cut to the gang.

walkaway

They'd be fined $18,000 for protecting their "clients" product.

Also, if you're 25 and have sex with a 15 year old in California, that's fine. No need to register as a sex offender.
