Our Elites Are Self-Admitted Criminals

3/11/26 National Review article discusses how one of the New Yorker's niche publications about architecture is horrified to discover that some chains, like Whole Foods, have "jails," rooms where they hold shoplifters until police arrive. Worse they are holding members of the elite:

"DeLigter’s sample of thieves is hardly representative of the broader public. Her subjects include a “designer,” a “photographer,” a “sculptor,” and a “food stylist,” all of whom executed their heists in one of the highest-end grocers in America, each of which is located in some of the wealthiest zip codes in the United States."

If this was poor people stealing a loaf of bread because of hunger, the progressive sympathy for the poor might make sense, but this is just a sign of the moral degeneracy of the left.
