Retail chains like TJX, the parent company of TJ Maxx and Marshalls, are equipping some store employees with body cameras to deter shoplifting and improve safety. This is part of a growing trend in the retail industry, as stores respond to an increase in organized retail theft and violence against workers. However, some criminologists and worker advocates argue that body cameras are unlikely to be an effective deterrent and that retailers should focus on improving training, staffing, and other safety measures instead. There are also concerns that the body camera footage could be misused, such as to monitor and discourage union organizing. Overall, the implementation of body cameras in retail is a complex issue with pros and cons that retailers will need to carefully consider.

I highly doubt that Norwegians consume the 2nd most tacos. If there was actual data on this subject then I think that we would probably find that the US consumes the most tacos, followed by Mexico.

Mexico's population is about 40% the size of the US population. There are also a lot of Mexicans living in the US, and there are Taco Bells everywhere.

Most people on this site aren't liberals or Democrats. Most people, including myself, are leftists. You clearly have no idea what you're talking about.

It doesn't make any difference if you flush with the lid up. Poop particles will still go everywhere, even if the lid is down. There was a study on it that came out earlier this year.

I don't know why you got downvoted. It's literally impossible to become a billionaire without exploiting others.

If you are planning on getting into this game, just don't pay for it. I'm not saying don't play it, just don't pay for it. The original devs were all stolen from and pushed out of their organization (ZA/UM).
