how much could minor shoplifting add to the economy if:

  • it was only targeting businesses that ship their profits offshore and/or avoid paying local taxes;
  • the shoplifted items were items that were going to be purchased; and
  • monetary savings redistributed to local businesses?

    it was only targeting businesses that ship their profits offshore and/or avoid paying local taxes;

    This is an oddly specific shoplifting question, almost as if you’re shopping for justifications for a specific concrete action.
