Allowing those to shoplift / turn a blind eye to it is a breakdown of society!

What are the good reasons that led to and allows this?

Letting people starve or be homeless is also a breakdown of society.

One is harm to capitalism, property and profit, one is harm to neighbours and fellow humans,.

Which one is worse, knowing you can't solve it all?

Whenever I witness people clearing shelves in NYC, it's never been by someone who appeared homeless. Usually they're wearing clothes as nice as I am, sometimes they've got Airpods in. Let's not make up excuses for criminals, yeah?

I was speaking broadly, you're citing an anecdote. Not the same thing.
