4. Even if retail theft was up, there is no evidence that harsher sentences advocated by @Walmart and McMillon would deter shoplifting. — PolitiTweet.org

3. Retail theft alone amounted to 0.5% of total retail sales, or $0.52 for every $100. This is slightly LOWER than it was in 2015 https://t.co/Q4D5EmvRXd — PolitiTweet.org

@Walmart 2. According to @NRFnews, the retail trade association that represents @Walmart, "shrink" — an industry term for inventory losses from theft, damage, or other causes, DECLINED between 2019 and 2021 https://t.co/jBxOXGbD9H — PolitiTweet.org

1. The CEO of @Walmart, Doug McMillon, claims that lenient prosecution of shoplifters may force him to raise prices or close stores. The data do not back him up. https://t.co/Q4D5EmvRXd — PolitiTweet.org

When an individual steals a few thousand dollars in merch, major retailers demand they get sent to jail But when retail execs steal millions in wages from employees no one says the execs should go to jail The worst that happens is the company pays back the money + a fine — PolitiTweet.org

The impact of Congress never completing spending bills on time and pushing a omnibus bill through at the last minute is that the process is completely opaque to everyone except corporate lobbyists — PolitiTweet.org

28. The goal, according to Friedman, is to use Clay County library to "set a good example for what a clean library looks like" for Florida and the country. If anyone gets in his way, Friedman vowed to "run over them like a dead body." https://t.co/vYAm0xfz19 — PolitiTweet.org

27. has reason to believe that his appeals may be successful. Friedman says that we "got rid of two people" on the board who opposed his efforts. He was "extremely supportive of two newly elected board members that I think sufficiently leaned towards protecting children." — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
26. That means Friedman's accepted challenges are now subject to review. So far Friedman has lost four of the five books that have been reviewed. Friedman has vowed to appeal all rejections to the district superintendent and, if necessary, to the Clay County School Board. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
25. In response, Miller and some of her colleagues in Clay County libraries have resolved not to weed out or deselect any additional challenged books in Clay County because they believe the system is being abused. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
24. Clay County schools have published a list of filed challenges, including those that librarians agreed to weed/deselect. https://t.co/ki3Qjk4xDg https://t.co/i9Nqt8Bl2H — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
23. This process resulted in Clay County librarians agreeing to weed or deselect 52 books from school libraries. These included acclaimed titles like Toni Morrison's Beloved, Sara Gruen's Water for Elephants, and Khaled Hosseini's The Kite Runner. https://t.co/vYAm0xfz19 — PolitiTweet.org

22. The librarians were also reminded that, under Florida law, they could potentially be held personally liable for making "pornographic" material available to minors. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
21. According to Julie Miller, the chair of the Clay County Education Association Media Committee, were pressured to determine if the books were eligible to be "weeded" or "deselected." — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
20. Under Clay County's July 2022 policy, any challenge should be reviewed by a District Curriculum Council, a rotating panel of school officials. But when challenges from Friedman and others started flooding in, the leadership of Clay County schools handled things differently — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
19. Starting this year, groups like No Left Turn in Education began challenging library material en masse. School officials are fearful. Since March, the county librarians have not been able to purchase any new material -- or even order new copies of books already on shelves — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
18. Despite this confusion about the legal standard, Friedman and others have already been able to PERMANENTLY remove dozens of books from Clay County school libraries. Here's how it works. https://t.co/vYAm0xfz19 — PolitiTweet.org
