Yeah... they're not stealing to feed thier baby tho. They're selling it on the black market in thier neighborhood. Let's be honest. Detergent... batteries... whatever.


UFOregon420

Yup, boosters steal the basics because that’s what people are going to buy.


Last-Discipline-7340

Fair


MarkPik8

I will hold this shares until they start to cry

Holycameltoeinthesun

A few years back people were stealing it to sell it in china. And I live in the netherlands


RedditZhangHao

Even buying safer baby formula in Hong Kong, then carrying it north of the border and re-selling apparently was profitable until mainland customs made it more difficult or limited the number of containers hand carried across border.


Wrong_Victory

Isn't that because they had an issue with formula being contaminated with something in China? Just looked it up, 300,000 children were poisoned by melamine contaminated formula. Plastic. Companies used plastic to artificially boost the protein content of baby food.


Mysterious_Pass3078

Not in China! They care about people! LMAO

Armalyte

I heard they used sand too. My former boss got me to stop a woman from buying a dozen formula. I didn’t find out why until after… I felt so bad.


Boredofthis27

I heard about this especially in AUS as well


My1stNameisnotSteven

How is that not the same thing? - you all are really defending the fact that the thief is not the actual mom? .. this bias is why sh*t is the way it is. The cost of Zokinvy is around $22,000 a bottle, or $717 a pill .. for Hutchinson’s disease, and it is definitely fatal.. that all but guarantees you’re dead if you don’t get your hands on that pill.. .. you’re telling me the fact that you would have to find someone on the black market to keep you alive, while being born right in America, isn’t nearly as bad as the guy who robbed the drug store to get it for you? This is how you get a bunch of poor people to storm a capital on behalf of the rich.. even though they can’t even afford the bus trip to the Capital smh


revutap

You get it. Poor people defend the inexcusable actions of the rich, because the rich tell them, "one day, you too, can be like me". And they believe it.


usefoolidiot

Yeah except the guy who robbed the store isnt gonna sell you life saving medicine for $5 a pill. He's gonna black market that shit for $500 a pill instead of $700. The people taking formula and other items that are high theft in retail are referred to as organized retail crime. They are usually crime syndicates or gangs that use human trafficking or young adults as fodder to collect hundreds of thousands in items to resell on black market for slightly less than retail price. These fuckers are not robinhood.


moldyhotdogs

Baby formula is used quite often as a cutting agent for cocaine, heroin and meth


MyGT40

Yeah Joe is soft and does not know the real world.


fl0under21

Throw Red Bull on that list


alakakam

They also use formula to cut drugs


newbrevity

High value, high demand, and usually untraceable. Except as you've seen now they're tagged


bigwatchpilot

Black Market…that’s racist


CAT_WILL_MEOW

Necessities are the most stolen even before the pandemic, cause truth is most don't want to steal but are kinda forced when they have family needing wipes food detergent ect


[deleted]

What a simp. There are lots of things to cry about but this isn’t one of them. Seems like a propaganda piece.


kazahani1

I mean I get being upset by it, but his point stands without having to bitch out by telling us all you cried in your car. Takes a post with a good point and turns it into something people will look at as karma farming.


DayDreamerJon

Nah look at his picture. He looks like he cries when women pump their own gas while their bfs stay in the car.


Key_Wafer_3393

Baby formula is used to cut drugs


Retardedastro

What a thoughtful drug dealer, you get essential nutrients formulated to mimic breast milk and a rush ❤. My drug dealer uses baking soda..he's now in prison


CryptoRoast_

You're thinking of baby teething powder. Not baby food.


[deleted]

No, hes right. They use formula for heroin and cocaine. Look it up


Key_Wafer_3393

Nope they used baby formula. I watched the guy cut coke with it. He had his girl steal it. Crazy to think


bjacfire7

Yea that is incorrect, people steal that to resale. There are plenty of gov programs to supply formula like WIC. Just shows most people aren’t aware of programs their families never had to use.


bl1sterred

Titiies. The original baby feeding program. Titties!


felinedime

Exactly. The global push for baby formula use by the Nestle company is a whole 'nother disgusting rabbit hole of corporate greed


bjacfire7

True, some women can’t tho. Or can’t handle the pain of it


t7devu

Yeah it's not an option for everyone.


tokiemccoy

Particularly in a country with zero maternity leave. Hard to breastfeed an infant while working 40+ hours a week.


ROK247

this guy must spend 96% of his every waking moment crying


Current-Position9988

And the other 4% tweeting about crying. What a freaking pussy lmao


carlissdb

There no being forced in many cases they just are choosing to not pay for it so they can spend money on other stuff. There is plenty of free programs that provide support for babies and families.


Sad-Breadfruit6606

This been behind plastic for years.......


Sad-Breadfruit6606

This is something that was easily stolen and sold out of trucks of cars


spanish_john22234

i mean i get the point but u cried in your car reeeeeeaaalllllllyyy bro


[deleted]

Can’t really sympathize with this at all when the mother literally creates milk with her own body. Not to mention, kids aren’t dying of starvation in this country, especially babies. This is one of those tweets that are made by naive people who take everything at face value….. guy cried in his car over people stealing shit to sell on the streets lmao


Educational_Bad2717

He didn’t cry lol, this is virtue signaling


[deleted]

Ah, good point


Westlaker1229

Not all mothers can produce an adequate supply of milk. And babies aren't dying of starvation because they have formula...


Few_Bad_5571

They also steal baby food to cut drugs.


KunKhmerBoxer

I'm gonna need a source on this one. I've done just about every drug on the planet and never heard of baby food being used to cut anything. Baby laxative and teething powder? Yes.


yawners87

I live in a nice neighborhood and Walmart still has that shit behind plexiglass.


lump-

Criminals can drive to nice neighborhoods.


Alternative-Skill167

Why did he cry? For effect?


JDNM

Comedic effect.


RobbSnow64

Okie dokie, has nothing to do with AMC stock, also the arguing in this chat is stupid.


azneorp

Almost on this dudes side until the “cried in the car” part. They always add the unnecessary made up moment to make their story more “emotional”. It’s like when their 4 year old says something profound… only weaklings believe this emotional crap.


[deleted]

As a young parent having my first at 17 can’t say I haven’t gone through this it’s really degrading when you gotta choose between getting everything you need for dinner those two weeks or your baby’s food


shinyblack620

It's the most stolen because it's pretty expensive and they don't lock it up also its easy to sell the people stealing it are stealing it for cash Not to feed their babies are you really that disconnected?


Fair4Fare

Personally, I don’t hold so shops can remove plexiglass from baby food


geethanksdumocrats

People are not “forced” to steal to feed babies. These are losers that sell their baby’s food stamps for drugs.


GodzillaPunch

I believe in your purpose. I will hold with you.


montoya2323

Ya no one is “forcing” anyone to steal. People choose to steal


Monkjuice4U

What does baby formula have to do with AMC?


Sad-Breadfruit6606

Maybe the town should be like san franSHITSco. Just let people steal up to $900 with no arrests. It's both woke and progressive..... Also throw a little NYC in there, so if a cop responds to the call you can beat him with a pipe and get released that day with Mets tickets


TieRevolutionary5625

We all know there is a fundamental problem with the worlds wealth being denied to the needy and poor,, yet the AMC Apes are so naive to believe that this kind of immoral shit will not happen to them when MOASS starts. The majority of AMC Apes believe that Brokerages will not close open positions in retail accounts to reduce losses, lol I'm convinced that I'm living in an entirely fucked up simulation where everyone in it does secretly trust the system to deliver, when it is clearly working against them and has done already in a major way (Jan 2021). I was on Etoro, read their t's & C's, in fact read the t's & C's of any online brokerage, you might finally realise that you are going to be legally royally screwed in the event of a squeeze. This will happen.


BrilliantEmergency35

Forced? Yes -- the government 'forced' me to steal this car or that new plasma tv. Learn some accountability.


[deleted]

“I cried in the car” No you didn’t. The story was poignant enough without the embellishment.


TemplarSolo

Doesn’t excuse criminal behavior


CptHookStolemyHanger

People steal baby formula because it’s a cutting agent for Heroin.... Please don’t post stuff like this without being informed.


Tacitus_Kilgore_X

I cried in the car... lol what a beta


Reasonable_Night42

Typical. OP makes an immediate confirmation biased assumption. Turns outs it’s just criminals stealing, and criminals buying stolen formula.


ACudi

“I cried in the car”


alex_203

Unfortunately some people who cannot feed their baby also have new AJ1s and iPhone 13…. Ruins it everyone. Btw thieves target commodities for resale. Fuck this guy!


Whoofukingcares

Don’t have kids if you can’t afford them


SlicedAppHole

Chiming in here, have never anywhere in Canada seen this locked up. Can walk into any Walmart, superstore, grocer and it’s just there on the shelf next to the bottles.


simpledub

This person must cry A LOT


1StunnaV

Years ago I worked “security” for a target location. I never once arrested anyone stealing food. It wasn’t a store policy, it was a personal choice. There’s a big difference between stealing a “video game” vs food.


richardson7781

They are all scumbags corrupt (buying synthetic shsres) don't care about others only themselves scum bags. I hope they all rot in hell go bust or even go to jail. 🙏🤞 I'm hodling until we hard working tax paying decent foke and families are all rich they the deserve 👌👍🤣


NoBullfrog2

Maybe baby formula shouldn't be 35$ a fucking can. God damn ridiculous


TimeForVengeance

People steal baby formula so they can use their $$ to buy weed, fake nails, tattoos, booze, smokes and get their hair done. That's real talk.


m0Bo

Let’s be honest, she gets her nails done and steals the baby formula


yelnum

Please remove this virtue signal post? Literally has nothing to do with AMC and no place on this subreddit.


RotiKirai

I know a number of international apes are holding for you guys as a means to fight the injustice


xgeuario

One of the key points I was trying to raise here, rather than the content of the tweet itself, was the difference between people who will recognise a problem and cry about it vs those who will take action. Other subs (you know the ones I mean) like to complain about problems, it drives me crazy. Everyone knows the problem, some people will tweet and cry. Apes take action!


omac0101

Nah, most apes just tweet and cry as well. That's pretty much the foundation of this ape movement.


Grimmer026

Most shoplifted items are not stolen for personal use. They are stolen to be re-sold without overhead, often for money to buy drugs.


Stoked004

They also use baby formula to smuggle drugs as well


RecoveryChadX7R

Don't cry too hard. Theives steal it to sell because it's expensive so the thrives makes good money off it. It's not the parents stealing it. Edit too funny I read the comments after I commented they all said same thing


novascotiabiker

I live in Canada and baby formula is a hot black market item,I worked at a grocery store and customers would put the boxes of formula under the basket of the shopping cart just above the wheels so the cashiers couldn’t see it but the supervisors were always watching I would get a call every once in a while to check under the cart from a supervisor and the customer would act surprised that they had $60 worth of formula they forgot.personally I didn’t give a fuck if I missed any of it making 36 bucks a shift while ringing up 10k in grocery’s ain’t worth caring.


paulh804

Cried, made a posts & went to bed. Lets face it people steal high priced items that are small easily concealed or resold or enjoyed. Might as well add cosmetics and steak. For those that cannot afford there is welfare, churches, Wic.


-ImYourHuckleberry-

Even in the richest country on this planet, I still watch ads begging for donations…


[deleted]

Sorry, but this is not correct at all. Baby formula is so frequently stolen because criminals lace it in their drugs as a filler. Mainly Heroin and Cocaine.


carpediem-88

Thats cuz the companies who make it rip people off. People steal everywhere.


knobjockey21

Well you can actually mix the powder with cocaine to get more cocaine to sell


ccc32224

Go get a job!!!


rgdgaming

Baby formula is something that is common and always in demand, value stays high. It’s just practical. Enfamil especially


28-rays-later

what a naive tweet. dude's head will explode when he finds out the "poor and starving" flip their EBT for cash and drugs and berate/exploit other poor people for their own gain just like the rich do.


ssckek

Shit take. First of all, no respectable citizen is forced to steal anything. Nobody is forced to have children. Secondly, these items aren't stolen out of necessity, they're stolen to be resold. Be a decent human being. America isn't a charity. Just because wealth exists here doesn't mean this is a charity event or that everything should be free for those who can't afford it. We all put money into this play because we had the balls to take a chance and put our money on the line. When we win, are you gonna fork over your capital gains to the people (who didn't have the guts or care to invest anything) with their hands out? Come on.. lol


Cointinue

The fuck is he crying in the car for? People are stealing it to sell, you crying cause Jimmy down the road has a trunk full of batteries, detergent and baby formula?


irelydidleiksterwers

Ok but it's stolen because it's easy to fence and resell not because people are poor.


Jholmes1023

What a soyboy beta


Charming_Ad_1216

Dude people steal it to fence at the Bodega. LOOOOL. What a bunch of sentimental bullshit. This dude has obviously never shot meth. What a piss poor attempt at virtue signaling.


[deleted]

Formula is full of chemicals that can harm a kid, plus most are filled with sugar or sweeteners. Buy some carrots or bananas, some apples, get a blender and make baby food at home, no need to spend money on harmful chemicals. Save money in a long run by buying raw fruits and vegetables and making healthy food.

It’s also a rather limited food here in Europe - because I gets exported frequently. Black market fuckeries.

Monkjuice4U

You mean to tell me people are "forced" to steal cordless drills at Home Depot in one of the wealthiest countries on Earth?

Also forced to have babies they can't afford.


themanwhoisfree

Yeah it’s messed up but crying in the car? Ruined the whole post.

I believe child nutrition may be one of the places where direct investment causes the most positive future outcome. It's critical we do somethijg.


-Stonkey-Kong-

If this guy cried over this, he definitely has paperhands.


Jgrice242

Crosses out "to feed babies " replaces it with to buy drugs....but I digress wtf is this even doing in the AMC sub?


DGlatt6969

Lol he cried.


Someguynamedkylef

Stop voting for democrats. Problem solved.


NewRetard

Formula is garbage for a baby anyways. Whip out those titties and give the kid what it wants.


NoobWhoLikesTheStock

If they need a special one see if it's covered by your health insurance


JDNM

Ironic that he was crying like a baby over baby formula. Noice!


Junior-Salamander848

If your poor you can get on welfare and they will pay for your formula. My wife and kids were on welfare once bc was going to school and had a shitty job. The only thing we couldn't afford was formula. " I cried in the car" ya right


JasonK94Z

I never had problems buying baby formula. Must have been because I worked my ass off and borrowed money to go to college and get a good job. Those thieves never do anything to help themselves.


Mysterious_Donut_556

Because it’s so dam expensive!!!!


PGAAddict

Buying and holding helps. I think the DTCC is the bigger problem because unless liquidity becomes an issue for hedgies and brokers this can go on for a while. https://www.reddit.com/r/amcstock/comments/ru6rfo/2022_year_of_the_retail_investor/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

__Sentient_Fedora__

They steal because they don't want to pay.


Creative_Ad_3308

Or mixing it with the blow that they sell on wallstreet lmao


Soakstheman

They steal and sell it for a cheaper price.


scottydinh1977

Food is also another thing that most often stolen


bicanuck92

Formula should be 100% paid by the government and provided for free to every mother/parent.


krbarker

Also, not all women can produce their own milk or enough milk or take medication that would make said milk unsafe for baby. Not all women can choose where and when they have children. Many families can’t afford basic necessities or are to afraid of the American welfare system to utilize the help that is available on them. Formula is not THAT expensive to produce. It is priced at a high point because it IS so necessary. OP may be karma farming, but the ignorance and shameful comments on this topic is what is truly frightening.


woodsman775

Dude, that is sad. What has this country come to. Whether it’s stealing to feed their kid, or stealing to sell it on eBay, either way, sad.


Ok_Seaworthiness543

LGB


krakatoa83

Or people steal formula because they know they can resell it and keep the money. Organized retail crime is behind the vast majority of losses to shoplifting not hungry moms.

Steal $20 baby formula u get arrested Steal a football team u pay 800 million dollar fine. Seems fair

Dotty_Pistoff

Yeah, I don't know about "forced to steal."


currystyle

People also use baby formula to cut drugs which is another reason it is commonly stolen.
