It’s not moral failure. It’s economic squeeze.
🥩 Why are steaks in security cages?
Because:
A $XX steak is now $XX.
Families that used to afford them now can’t justify the price
Theft rises not because people are “bad”… But because real food is now a luxury.
🧠 The bigger structural problem?
We don’t have a theft crisis—we have a cost of living crisis.
And when inflation hits food and shelter, society breaks at the seams.
The fix isn’t just more policing or more cages.
It’s:
-Making real food affordable -Reviving local supply chains -Fighting inflation at its root (debt, overprinting, inefficiencies)
Let’s call it what it is:
You can’t fix a food theft problem with zip ties— you fix it by making food affordable again.
