“This shop is in a poor neighborhood, it’s profiting off poverty, so it’s moral to steal from it”

“Why are all the shops in this poor neighborhood closing?”

You can't reason with these people at all.

Right now in Canada the left has a huge hate for loblaws, probably the biggest grocery chain in the country. Most of that hate appears to be focused on their record profits.

What has gotten totally lost in the plot is that their sales went up by about 10%. Yes, their profits are up, but sales are up too, and even with a margin of 1-3% that's going to lead to increased profits. And it's not a clear indication of price gouging.

*Just try explaining that in a Canadian sub*. The far left political party ( NDP ) decided that inflation is caused by corporate greed rather than government financial policy, and the NDP made grocery store profits their key piece of evidence to support that. Sadly, most of their supporters and just blindly eating this shit up and making idiots of themselves encouraging and justifying thefts from grocery stores. 

You shouldn't need to explain to an adult that increased sales lead to increased profits, even if the profit margin remains the same. If you sell an apple and make a dime you have a dime. If you sell two apples and make a dime on each you made twenty cents. *Its not evidence of price gouging. Its evidence that selling more of something creates more profit*.
