The scumola of society have been locked in and locked down, they have lost contact with a lot of their brethren scumbags and/or their clients. The way they made their money in the past has changed, the opportunities are few now. Gang lootings, grab and runs are more common now especially in the states.
Home Depot has to lock up their power tools because they have had too many people just pack up a cart and walk out without paying. Car break ins are up in US cities. Scumola Cacklers are roaming free in the streets of big city USA.
The factories went off shore... people now make their money in Real Estate appreciation, or by grifting. It's only going to get worse. The drug epidemic is not helping.
