    Politicians and the media keep talking about crime in general and keep claiming it’s rampant, which it isn’t. But funny, they never talk about the crime that actually IS rampant, wage theft. Wage theft is bigger than all other forms of crime combined in terms of dollars lost, yet hardly anyone ever talks about or mentions it or cares about it.

    Why? Because the people/companies responsible for committing it, also own the media outlets that would be responsible for covering it. They’re not going to expose their own crimes in other words.
