14. I deleted a tweet from this thread because it was imprecise. Collecting insurance proceeds can increase costs by driving up premiums. The purpose of insurance is to smooth out costs. The larger point is there is no evidence a shoplifting surge is driving the closures. https://t.co/Us9rsv0fl3 — PolitiTweet.org

@JohnSmi18684452 Shoplifting can be as big a deal as you want it to be. I'm providing the actual facts about why these stores are closing. — PolitiTweet.org

12. Companies steal an estimated $15 billion in wages from their employees each year That exceeds the value of all stolen goods each year and the bulk of that is stolen cars Yet wage theft is not treated as a crisis or even a story https://t.co/kDmvTyikA8 — PolitiTweet.org

11. @RiteAid's alleged wage theft from its employees has received essentially no media attention, outside of subscription-only trade publications Meanwhile, the media is focused on a guy who stole shampoo and condoms from one store. https://t.co/kDmvTyikA8 — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
10. @riteaid, on the other hand, has been repeatedly accused of stealing millions from its employees. It has paid over $50 million in the last five years to settle accusations of wage theft for its employees, which make an average of $33,212 annually https://t.co/kDmvTyikA8 — PolitiTweet.org

@Walgreens 9. Retail theft is up modestly in NYC — about 15% since 2019. But overall crime levels, especially violent crime, are way down since 2000 and even more dramatically since 1990. There is no "crime wave" in NYC https://t.co/kDmvTyikA8 https://t.co/J1EI7Bd68I — PolitiTweet.org

7. Shoplifting does not have a significant impact on profitability because these drugstore chains are insured and can recoup most of the cost from stolen items. @Walgreens has closed 1,000 stores since 2018 https://t.co/kDmvTyikA8 — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
6. Why are drugstores closing? They rely on foot traffic from people picking up prescriptions to sell higher-margin products like OTC drugs and cosmetics But more people are getting their prescriptions online So there are too many drugstores in the US https://t.co/kDmvTyikA8 — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
5. @riteaid did not attribute any of the store closures to shoplifting. And the reduction in stores is part of a larger trend in the industry. CVS also announced last November that "it would shutter 900 locations over three years" https://t.co/kDmvTyikA8 — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
4. None of this was true. @riteaid created a list of 63 stores across the country it was closing to reduce costs in 2021. Those stores began closing last November. It was part of an effort to "reduce costs" and "drive improved profitability." https://t.co/kDmvTyikA8 — PolitiTweet.org

@MichaelRapaport @riteaid @nypost @axios 3. But the claim wasn't limited to right-wing media outlets controlled by Rupert Murdoch. It was echoed by @axios, which presented Rapaport's claims as fact, citing the @nypost's "reporting." Axios said it was proof of a "crisis" https://t.co/kDmvTyikA8 https://t.co/EIyh1J0L12 — PolitiTweet.org

@MichaelRapaport @riteaid @nypost @axios 2. @MichaelRapaport said the man in his video stole shampoo and condoms Rapaport's video and his claim that NYC Rite Aids were closing due to a recent surge and thefts were featured six articles in the @nypost alone https://t.co/kDmvTyikA8 https://t.co/LG8QlymfIk — PolitiTweet.org

1. Comedian @MichaelRapaport posted a viral video of a man stealing items from @riteaid He claimed the store was closing due to thefts His claims were repeated by @nypost, @axios, and other outlets But it was all a lie Follow along if interested https://t.co/kDmvTyikA8 — PolitiTweet.org
