It's an interesting, off-beat story about toys being stolen by a theft ring, how you managed to turn it into a whine about the "bourgeoisie" I'll never know.


Don't disagree, but let's be clear: the alternative is not (as might be implied) deep, introspective thought-pieces. It's chum for the other color of ignorant closed minds.


how about reporting on Kristy Noem stealing $172M from every American so she can have *two* luxury private jets? Thats....28666 stolen-lego rings worth.

im sure NYT reported on that as well, couched in typical "questions arise...." format which they reserve for those criminals whose crimes are so massive and so completely blatant, they couldn't possibly call them what they are. Those would be facts that their readers wouldn't accept. But a Latino man running a shoplifting ring, they'll nod their heads and dream of more Alligator Alcatrazes for "the illegals".



> how about reporting on Kristy Noem

Now it all seems to make sense.


Surely all three possibilities exist? One reason I come here is people linking to interesting writing that I wouldn't otherwise hear about.
