How can card shops survive the rise of armed thefts?
Sentry guns with automatic weapons.Claymore mines pointed at the door.Particularly valuable packs wired with explosives, detonated remotely or by proximity/distance from store.
>>97381471Man would've been dead the second he tried at my old LGS. Owner open carried and had kids waiting at home lmao
If you have that much value stored in your shop, you can afford security
>>97381471>Boston, Los Angelese, and SeattleLOL
>>97381673I'm not sure why there's always so much seething about the cities that pay for the rest of the country.
>>97381612I'm glad someone pointed this outAnyway, joke is on that nigger, all you have to do is browse craiglist if you want pokemon shit it's not even expensiveI found a guy selling 22 steam siege packs for $85 bucks like an hour ago
>>97381673They get what they deserve.
>>97381747Speculation doesn't pay for anything. Empty cities full of suffering and corporate headquarters.
>>97381866It's always strange to see people suckling on the teat of these cities cursing them so.
>>97381905No, I'm talking about tax revenues VS spending.These large cities are the only thing keeping every other part of america (and by extension much of the world, given how much we pay for food and security worldwide) afloat.Almost every state in america is in the red financially, and reliant upon californian and new yorker gibs.
>>97381907I don't have to suck on anything though? Please keep your fantasies to xirself
>>97381939Unless you're actually living in those cities, I'm afraid you're sucking on their teat, no matter where you live.Who do you think pays for the world-wide grain dole you're enjoying?
>>97381747Because centralized living like that is counter-natura, but you headless chickens can't stop yourself from living in 30 square feets in a floor 42And everyone else have to pay for your centralized contaminationSmog is a city only thing
>>97382090Actually, the cities are paying for YOUR retardation, if you look at the numbers.This is why they have such influence- they pay for you to live.
>>97381957>Who do you think pays for the world-wide grain dole you're enjoying?>C-California totally grows your f-food chudYeah no their nuts and avocados don't actually feed shit nationwide.
>>97382117Ah, so you are unfamiliar with the concept of paying for something.You see, paying is when you exchange something for something else. In this case, this means that california is not PRODUCING the grains, it is merely offering something (money) for them.Or rather, it's offering this money to the american government, which then heavily subsidizes the farmers to such an extent that america basically feeds the world now.
>>97382147>Ah, so you are unfamiliar with the concept of paying for somethingCorrect. I get by on a career that consists solely of robbing convenience stores and running back innawoods afterwards
>>97382200I'm afraid state level economics may sound a bit alien to you, then.
>>97381471Back in 1997 did you think this was the future Pokemon has in store?
>>97381923"a place full of accountants has presented things so that it's a net donor where that's convenient, news at eleven"perhaps next we can analyze the strange phenomenon of every Hollywood movie losing money
>>97382751I don't really care where they make their money, as long as they continue subsidizing us.I just find it strange the amount of vitriol have for them when they rely entirely upon them.It's like being righteously against child labor while wearing exclusively sweat shop clothes.
>>97381747Envy and inferiority complex.
>>97381471>ayo. gimme dem charazards, nigga.
>>97382769no no no, anon, it's like, what do cities like New York actually produce? Is food grown there? Do they produce the 18 wheelers and cargo ships? Do they mine the resources to produce energy? No to all of the above?Of course they don't make anything. They just wave a book in people's faces that says they're the most important part of the economy actually, look at these numbers we wrote about ourselves. The money passes through our hands, you farmers and miners and actual productive members of society better be grateful that we support you.Anyway, after actually looking up the stats, some of them make New York out to be a decent farming state. Not great, but middle of the road.
>>97381747Look at this cope LOL
>>97383065Ah yes, government tax statistics are wrong because they don't fit your narrative, I see.Perhaps if you actually were able to produce without heavy, heavy subsidy there might be a leg to stand on here, but you just sound like a hypocrite right now.
>>97383394Where does the money in New York come from?
>>97382847why did you reply to your own post?
>>97383403Probably all the money businesses, insurance and whatnot. The things that should be run by the government but you guys instead choose to let private moneymen do.
>>97381747It's more so laughing that these robberies overwhelmingly are happening in such places because the fucktard local and sometimes state governments make it illegal to effectively defend your business.
>>97383433I'd agree if it didn't seem so damn bitter and angry when people did it.
>>97381471>lgs kikes who run a business model based on overcharging and scamming timmies and children throw a hissy fit the moment they get a taste of their own medicine
>>97383420So basically money shufflers. One business pays 100 million to another, then pays 100 million to a third and pays back to the first and it's reported as 300 million in taxable income, which, of course, gets evaded.
>>97383489Yep. I'm not sure why you guys were so insistent on this being the setup, but now it is and you just keep complaining about it.
>>97383501oh, no, I'm not american. I'm just talking out my ass about them and their weird money cult.
>>97383559Well, there's a reason the left is always trying to stop corporate corruption and governmentalize services. But you know, money cult.
>>97383403Tourism, entertaiment, etc
>>97383761Also as a port city it does what every port city does since the dawn of time and import/export
It should be legal to shoot a fleeing thief in the back. If you disagree, you're brown. Full stop .
>>97383417That was my first post ITT, bełkoczący kretynie. Rural and small town seething about the big cities is simply common around the world where the farmers get subsidised.
>>97381747All those cities have huge deficits though....
>>97384230anon, just to be sure, do you think big businesses don't get massive subsidies or bail outs?
