The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact


SFPD Data Article & Yesterday's Op-Ed Miss The Reality of SF's ORC Crisis

ORC & Robbery's Impacting San Francisco's DA
Shoplifting prosecutions down 37% in his first year in office

San Francisco’s progressive DA likely headed for recall
A campaign to oust one of the nation’s most progressive prosecutors will likely go to San Francisco voters next year after recall supporters submitted far more signatures than needed to qualify for the ballot on Friday.

Three days before the Oct. 25 deadline, organizers of a campaign to recall San Francisco’s criminal justice reform-minded district attorney Chesa Boudin submitted 83,000 signatures — 32,000 more than are required.

Boudin, 41, ran for DA in 2019 on a platform of promising to end mass incarceration and boost non-prosecution diversion programs. Within his first few months in office, Boudin made good on his campaign pledges. He eliminated cash bail for defendants with the goal of making pre-trial release determinations based on risk instead of wealth. He ordered the DA’s office to stop applying sentencing enhancements based on gang affiliations, arguing that they contribute to racial disparities in the criminal justice system.

He also directed the office to stop applying California’s Three Strikes Law, which he said helped fuel mass incarceration. Additionally, he announced a halt in prosecuting contraband possession cases if they result from a stop for a minor traffic violation, based on a belief that “pretexual” stops erode trust in law enforcement and contribute to racial disparities.

But in a city with high rates of property crimes, overdose deaths, homelessness and mental health problems that many attribute to the prevalence of illegal drugs, Boudin’s critics argue that his policies have made the city less safe.

Boudin’s detractors were quick to blame him and his policies for the deaths of two women, 60-year-old Elizabeth Platt and 27-year-old Hanako Abe, who were killed in a hit-and-run, after a store robbery, on Dec. 31, 2020, by a parolee. The driver, Troy McAlister, was out on parole and had been arrested for a series of property crimes before the fatal incident, but Boudin had not filed charges against him.

According the Chronicle, McAlister was arrested in July 2015 on suspicion of robbing a store in San Francisco at gunpoint. Prior to that incident, he also had three other felony convictions, including one for robbery and another for attempted carjacking.

San Francisco has also made headlines in recent months over a viral video of a man brazenly shoplifting in a Walgreens store while ignoring a security guard and reports that the pharmacy chain is closing multiple stores in the city, citing the high cost of retail theft. While some have challenged that narrative and questioned Walgreens’ true motives for closing stores, data shows that Boudin has prosecuted fewer shoplifting cases than his predecessor, George Gascón. Boudin prosecuted 44% of shoplifting cases in 2020 compared to 70% prosecuted Gascón in 2019, according to the San Francisco Examiner. courthousenews.com

SF DA Disregarding Laws & Court Decisions He Doesn't Like
San Francisco prosecutors quit progressive DA Chesa Boudin's office, join recall effort

At least 50 lawyers, a third of the attorneys, have been fired or quit since Boudin took office as district attorney in Jan. 2020.

Two San Francisco prosecutors have quit their jobs in the district attorney’s office of a progressive prosecutor and joined an effort to recall him.

Prosecutors Brooke Jenkins and Don Du Bain told KNTV they have stepped down from their posts in San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin’s office due to his lack of commitment to prosecuting crimes.

"Chesa has a radical approach that involves not charging crime in the first place and simply releasing individuals with no rehabilitation and putting them in positions where they are simply more likely to re-offend," Jenkins said in the interview. "Being an African American and Latino woman, I would wholeheartedly agree that the criminal justice system needs a lot of work, but when you are a district attorney, your job is to have balance."

Du Bain added that he believed Boudin "disregards the laws that he doesn't like, and he disregards the court decisions that he doesn't like to impose his own version of what he believes is just – and that's not the job of the district attorney."

"The office was headed in such the wrong direction that the best thing I could do was to join the effort to recall Chesa Boudin as district attorney," Du Bain said.

Open-air drug markets and homelessness, coupled with upticks in blatant daylight shoplifting, residential and commercial burglaries, shootings and other violent crimes, have left citizens "starting to wake up to the reality that’s now become their nightmare as far as public safety and crime goes," Montoya said. foxnews.com

Editor's Note: This is exactly what needs to happen nationwide in a number of cities where the progressive DA's need to be replaced with DA's that are willing to do their jobs. As they are part of the law enforcement arm of the criminal justice system and not the legislators making the laws. Just my thoughts. -Gus Downing

San Fran. City Supervisor Calls For Coordinated Response to ORC

"Retailers Have Simply Stopped Calling the Cops."
'Data shows Chesa Boudin prosecutes fewer shoplifters than predecessor'

‘We made an intentional decision to prioritize crimes involving violence, injury to human beings and use of weapons’

As videos of brazen retail thefts in San Francisco draw national attention, The Examiner has obtained new data showing that District Attorney Chesa Boudin is prosecuting far fewer shoplifting cases than his predecessor.

The numbers show the prosecution rate for shoplifting cases involving a misdemeanor petty theft charge for a loss of $950 or less fell under Boudin, from 70 percent under former District Attorney George Gascon in 2019 to 44 percent in 2020 and 50 percent as of mid-June 2021.

Prosecutors filed charges in 116 of 266 cases presented by police involving petty theft in 2020, compared to 450 of 647 cases in 2019, according to the data provided by the District Attorney’s Office.

On the other hand, the prosecution rate for certain organized retail theft cases remained between 81 and 84 percent under both Gascon and Boudin between 2019 and 2021.

The office charged 35 of the 43 organized retail theft cases presented in 2020, compared to 21 of the 25 cases in 2019.

While the crime trend seen in viral videos of thieves brazenly stealing goods from Walgreens or Neiman Marcus is not borne out by police data — reports of shoplifting have actually dropped since 2019 and remained relatively consistent over the last decade — Boudin critics say some retailers have simply stopped calling the cops.

The situation is further complicated by the fact that San Francisco has long been an epicenter of property crimes that are rarely solved by police, meaning the district attorney only has the opportunity to charge a fraction of the crimes committed. But critics say the numbers show Boudin is contributing to the problem.

The data comes with some caveats & "Boudin has made San Francisco a “magnet for criminals.”

America's Murder Surge Continues
2020's historic rise in homoicides has continued in 2021

2020 saw a historic rise in homicides in the U.S. — the vast majority committed with a gun — and the upward trend is continuing in 2021.

Why it matters: The murder surge represents a sharp break from decades of reductions in violent, gun-driven crime in the U.S., and experts are divided on what caused the increase — and therefore, what to do about it.

Curbing the rise in shootings will require addressing the root causes of violence, while mending social trust between the communities most at risk and the police.

By the numbers: Provisional data from the Centers for Disease Control's National Center for Health Statistics released earlier this month indicates that the murder rate rose 30% between 2019 and 2020. That's the highest increase in recorded history.

That puts the U.S. on pace for close to a 50% increase in murders compared to two years ago, says Aaron Chalfin, a criminologist at the University of Pennsylvania. "It's wiped out maybe 20 years of progress in reducing homicides."

What to watch: Violent crime itself can spread like a virus, as one murder leads to others, notes John Roman of NORC at the University of Chicago. "There's a lot of trauma, and a lot of desire for retaliation," he says. "Retaliation creates its own cycle, and we're still in the middle of that cycling." axios.com

The Crime Surge Blame Game

Minnesota progressive lawmaker blames 'dysfunctional' police for Minneapolis violent crime spike
Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., blamed police for the recent rise in crime in Minneapolis, accusing the city's officers of not fulfilling their oath of office.

"What we must also recognize is that the reduction in policing currently in our city and the lawlessness that is happening is due to two things," Omar said during a town hall event Saturday in Minneapolis.

One of them, she said, is that "the police have chosen to not fulfill their oath of office and to provide the public safety they are owed to the citizens they serve."

The lawmaker's comments come as violent crime has surged in Minnesota over the last year, rising 17% in total while setting records for murders. Omar's approach to crime includes backing a Nov. 2 ballot measure to replace the entire Minneapolis police department with a "Department of Public Safety." The measure would remove the requirement that the city have a minimum number of officers based on the city's population.

Minneapolis, the state's largest city, has had to fight the surge while its police department suffers from staffing and morale problems after George Floyd was killed by a police officer in the city, something some say has fueled the crime surge. Others have pointed to a rise in unemployment and other stresses brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, noting that other large cities have experienced similar issues. foxnews.com

Progressives' optimism for large reforms dwindles
From voting rights and immigration reform to criminal justice and student debt relief, Democrats say the party is at risk of seeing its majorities evaporate by failing to deliver on public promises, a projection that has prompted fear and finger-pointing among President Biden’s most loyal base.

Debate has all but disappeared and is in a bucket with other policies that many Democrats believe would be nice to have, but not essential, like a federal minimum wage increase to $15 an hour, which didn’t pass Congress, and certain criminal justice reforms.

"There’s a dissonance with the pronouncements that were made during the campaign,” said Donald Cameron Clark, Jr., a lawyer and criminal justice activist. “They are frustrated if not handcuffed by the political realities of Congress.” thehill.com

The Great Resignation Impacting Prosecutors Offices

National Trend: Prosecutors Are Resigning Across The Country in Alarming Numbers
The quitting mirrors national trends of a post-pandemic exodus of office workers that economists are calling “The Great Resignation.” Departures are weakening prosecutors’ offices around the county. District attorneys report that their ranks have fallen by as much as a third, said David LaBahn, president of the Association of Prosecuting Attorneys.

They’re walking out for private practice or the suburbs, where they have lighter workloads and a chance for higher pay. Stress and the demands of the job have always brought turnover, but the coronavirus pandemic worsened matters.

We are reaching a crisis,” LaBahn said. “For somebody to have 120 active felonies, that is a crushing caseload. If that individual were to try those 120 cases, how many years would that take? That person is working in triage.”

City offices such as public works, police and fire are grappling with vacancies, too.

He worries resignations across the country will bring losses in courtrooms. Because of the “double jeopardy” principle, homicide prosecutors don’t get second chances.

“If somebody obviously guilty gets off,” he said, “what does that do for the trust and legitimacy of the criminal justice system?” baltimoresun.com

Hate Crimes Surge by 16%
2020 saw highest number of hate crimes in two decades, updated FBI data shows
The number of hate crimes reported in 2020 was the highest recorded in two decades, according to updated FBI data released Monday. The FBI revealed its amended hate crime statistics for fiscal year 2020 following a technical submission error that had excluded some data from Ohio in the agency's original release in August. The FBI has since addressed the technical challenge in the state's reporting system.

Law enforcement agencies submitted reports for 8,263 criminal incidents and 11,129 related offenses motivated by biases toward race, ethnicity, ancestry, religion, sexual orientation, disability, gender, and gender identity. The updated release reflects an increase in more than 500 hate crime incidents with the inclusion of the new data.

The total number of criminal incidents represents a 16% increase from 2019 and the highest number of hate crime incidents recorded since 2001, a year that documented 9,730 incidents and a sharp rise in hate crimes directed toward perceived Muslim Americans in the wake of the September 11 attacks.

In 2020, updated data shows that 8,052 crimes motivated by one kind of bias, deemed single-bias incidents, took place and involved 11,126 victims. In 2019, the FBI recorded 7,103 single-bias incidents involving 8,552 victims total. In total, nearly 62% of hate crimes were tied to an individual's race nationwide, according to the FBI. cbsnews.com

Cases, Hospitalizations & Deaths Continue to Plummet


November Surge Coming?
COVID cases falling, but trouble signs arise as winter looms
Tumbling COVID-19 case counts have some schools around the U.S. considering relaxing their mask rules, but deaths nationally have been ticking up over the past few weeks, some rural hospitals are showing signs of strain, and cold weather is setting in.

The number of new cases nationally has been plummeting since the delta surge peaked in mid-September. The U.S. is averaging about 73,000 new cases per day, dramatically lower than the 173,000 recorded on Sept. 13. And the number of Americans in the hospital with COVID-19 has plummeted by about half to around 47,000 since early September.

Still, there are some troubling indicators, including the onset of cold weather, which sends people indoors, where the virus can more easily spread. With required mask use reduced in much of the U.S., the University of Washington’s influential COVID-19 forecasting model is predicting increasing infections and hospitalizations in November.

Also, COVID-19 deaths per day have begun to creep back up again after a decline that started in late September. Deaths are running at about 1,700 per day, up from close to 1,500 two weeks ago. apnews.com

Delaying Vaccine Mandate Until the Holiday Shopping Season Ends?
Business groups ask White House to delay Biden Covid vaccine mandate until after the holidays

White House officials at the OMB are meeting with industry lobbyists as it conducts the final review of President Joe Biden’s Covid vaccine mandate.

Worried that President Joe Biden’s Covid vaccine mandate for private companies could cause a mass exodus of employees, business groups are pleading with the White House to delay the rule until after the holiday season.

The American Trucking Associations, which will meet with the OMB on Tuesday, warned the administration last week that many drivers will likely quit rather than get vaccinated, further disrupting the national supply chain at time when the industry is already short 80,000 drivers.

The trucking association estimates companies covered by the mandate could lose 37% of drivers through retirements, resignations and workers switching to smaller companies not covered by the requirements.

Retailers are also particularly concerned the mandate could trigger a spike in resignations that would exacerbate staffing problems at businesses already short on people, said Evan Armstrong, a lobbyist at the Retail Industry Leaders Association.

“It has been a hectic holiday season already, as you know, with supply chain struggles,” Armstrong told CNBC after a meeting with White House officials last Monday. “This is a difficult policy to implement. It would be even more difficult during the holiday season.

Thirty percent of unvaccinated workers said they would leave their jobs rather than comply with a vaccine or testing mandate, according to a KFF poll published last month cnbc.com

Police Unions Nationwide Wage War Against Vaccine Mandates
New York City’s biggest police union sues over the city’s vaccine mandate
The largest police union in New York City asked a judge on Monday to allow unvaccinated police officers to continue working, despite the city’s recently imposed vaccine mandate, which requires all municipal workers to have received at least one coronavirus vaccine dose by Nov. 1.

In a lawsuit filed in Staten Island, which is home to many police officers and has a vaccination rate that lags behind the citywide average, the Police Benevolent Association of New York said it opposed a vaccine mandate for police officers that does not allow the option of being tested weekly instead of being vaccinated.

The lawsuit also claimed that the mandate — which the mayor announced last week — does not contain sufficient protections for officers who might object to the vaccines because of religious beliefs. Mayor Bill de Blasio has said that the city will be “offering religious accommodation,” but that “valid religious exemptions” are rare.

While most lawsuits trying to stop government vaccine mandates in New York and elsewhere have failed to gain traction, some federal judges have appeared more sympathetic to suits that narrowly attack vaccine mandates for not accommodating religious beliefs.

Police unions across the country, from Chicago to Washington State, are urging members to resist Covid vaccine requirements — despite Covid being by far the most common cause of officer duty-related deaths this year and last, according to the Officer Down Memorial Page. nytimes.com

Bonuses for Anti-Vax Cops
$5,000 Bonuses For Police Who Move To Florida? DeSantis Wants Reward For Officers Who Oppose Vaccine Mandates
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said Sunday he hopes to woo out-of-state police officers who oppose their states’ vaccine mandates with $5,000 bonuses, part of his broader attack on vaccine requirements, and positioning of himself as an emerging figure in national Republican politics.

Florida is “actively working to recruit out-of-state law enforcement,” DeSantis said on Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures, claiming Covid-19 vaccine mandates are “unconstitutional.” The governor said he is “going to hopefully sign” legislation that would give each police officer a $5,000 bonus if they relocate.

DeSantis said that bill would be introduced during an upcoming special session of the Florida legislature, which the governor called earlier this week in order to pass legislation that would ban private employers from imposing vaccine mandates.

NYPD, Minneapolis, Seattle: If you’re not being treated well, we’ll treat you better here, you can fill important needs for us, and we’ll compensate you as a result,” DeSantis said Sunday. forbes.com

Walmart's 'New, Flexible Way of Working'
Walmart announces corporate staff will return to office in November
Walmart announced its corporate employees will return to the office during the week of Nov. 8, the company said Friday.

"We had a way of working before the pandemic and we developed an effective way of working during the pandemic. Now, I'm excited about our new, more flexible way of working," Donna Morris, chief people officer, said in a statement Friday.

Walmart, with nearly 1.6 million US employees, is the nation's largest private retailer. The majority of the company's employees work in its warehouses and brick-and-mortar stores. Many of those in-store employees who have to follow President Joe Biden's mandate requiring people who work for businesses with more than 100 employees get vaccinated or do weekly testing. cnn.com

Supply Chain SOS
NRF: 3 ways to address the supply chain crisis now
The supply chain crisis has retailers and consumers wondering if they'll be facing empty shelves and higher prices as we head into the holiday shopping season. That's why we need you to send an SOS to Congress asking it to - Save Our Shipments.

Although there is not one simple solution to the crisis, Congress can help retailers keep store shelves stocked and address some of the issues plaguing supply chains by acting on a few pieces of critical legislation. Here are three ways Congress can address the supply chain crisis and Save Our Shipments now:

Pass the Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework - Passage of the $1.2 trillion infrastructure package is a critical first step to help get America's supply chains back on track. This bill has historic infrastructure investments that will modernize the nation's ports, roads, bridges and rails that our supply chains depend on.

Add more truck drivers to the workforce - Truck drivers are an integral part of our supply chain system and we simply do not have enough. In fact, the trucking industry is currently short 80,000 truck drivers. Congress can help by passing the DRIVE-Safe Act, a bill which would cut the bureaucratic red tape that prevents 18-20-year-olds from entering the truck-driving profession.

Update the Shipping Act - Longstanding unfair business practices by ocean carriers and terminal operators are complicating supply chain disruption issues and adding to port congestion. The bipartisan Ocean Shipping Reform Act of 2021 would put in place common-sense reforms to address some of these ongoing issues that have been further highlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic. nrf.com


Even if retail sales slow drastically during the holidays, they will still be stellar: Wells Fargo
Wells Fargo analysts estimate retail sales during the holiday season will hit a record gain of 11% over last year, according to an emailed report.

Notably, that forecast implies sales levels will actually drop off from earlier in the year. The analysts cited the "supply chain crisis, the difficulty finding workers to staff the stores, the highest inflation in a generation and expected difficulties with last-mile delivery for e-commerce" as reasons for caution. All of retail's problems in one sentence - well put. -GD

Even if overall sales in the fourth quarter experience the largest monthly declines on record, year-over-year growth would still hit a record-nearing 8.6%, according to Wells Fargo analysts. retaildive.com

Big Retailers Becoming Big Property Owners With Warehouse Deals

Companies look to save long-term costs while making a bet on commercial real estate’s hottest sector

Retail giants like Amazon.com Inc. and Costco Wholesale Corp. think they have found a way to boost their e-commerce operations and save money: Own the warehouses where they stack piles of products.

The 25 largest U.S. retailers acquired about 38 million rentable square feet in new industrial space last year, up from 18.8 million square feet the previous year.

Amazon is the largest corporate owner of U.S. industrial space, with 78 buildings spanning 83.6 million square feet, according to data and research firm Real Capital Analytics. Walmart Inc., Target Corp. , Kroger Co. and Dollar General Corp. have also purchased industrial space over the past year.

Many retailers also have record levels of cash and are eager to spend it on assets like real estate, similar to the way a number of big tech companies are buying office space. The industrial sector’s property values have grown 39% over the past 12 months, compared with 20% growth for that of all commercial property in that period.

The 25 largest retailers owned 155.1 million square feet in industrial space at the end of 2020, a more-than-fivefold increase from 10 years earlier, according to CoStar. The retailers still lease about three times the amount of space they own, but that gap is narrowing. wsj.com

From Russia With Love - Again & Again
Ignoring Sanctions, Russia Renews Broad Cybersurveillance Operation

The new campaign came only months after Biden imposed sanctions on Moscow in response to a series of spy operations it had conducted around the world.

Russia’s premier intelligence agency has
launched another campaign to pierce thousands of U.S. government, corporate and think-tank computer networks, Microsoft officials and cybersecurity experts warned on Sunday, only months after President Biden imposed sanctions on Moscow in response to a series of sophisticated spy operations it had conducted around the world.

The new effort is “very large, and it is ongoing,” Tom Burt, one of Microsoft’s top security officers, said in an interview. Government officials confirmed that the operation, apparently aimed at acquiring data stored in the cloud, seemed to come out of the S.V.R., the Russian intelligence agency that was the first to enter the Democratic National Committee’s networks during the 2016 election.

While Microsoft insisted that the percentage of successful breaches was small, it did not provide enough information to accurately measure the severity of the theft.

Earlier this year, the White House blamed the S.V.R. for the so-called SolarWinds hacking, a highly sophisticated effort to alter software used by government agencies and the nation’s largest companies,
giving the Russians broad access to 18,000 users. Mr. Biden said the attack undercut trust in the government’s basic systems and vowed retaliation for both the intrusion and election interference. But when he announced sanctions against Russian financial institutions and technology companies in April, he pared back the penalties.

American officials insist that the type of attack Microsoft reported falls into the category of
the kind of spying major powers regularly conduct against one another. Still, the operation suggests that even while the two governments say they are meeting regularly to combat ransomware and other maladies of the internet age, the undermining of networks continues apace in an arms race that has sped up as countries sought Covid-19 vaccine data and a range of industrial and government secrets. nytimes.com

International Cybercrime Effort
Updated Cybercrime Pact Aims to Speed Cross-Border Investigations

The proposed changes are an attempt to inject some alacrity into sluggish cross-jurisdictional inquiries that give hackers time to disappear along with evidence

Coming changes to an international cybercrime agreement
aim to give law-enforcement authorities in the U.S., Europe and other countries swifter and easier access to data outside their jurisdictions.

The main changes to the Budapest Convention, in effect since 2004,
focus on updating investigative tools that are too slow to be effective in cybercrime cases, where hackers move quickly and data can disappear. Under the revised agreement, new legal channels would make it easier for prosecutors and police to obtain digital evidence quickly by directly contacting technology companies outside their jurisdiction, according to cybercrime experts.

The new protocols will be presented next month at an online conference organized by the Council of Europe, a Strasbourg, France-based international organization that oversees the Budapest Convention. Governments will be able to sign on to the protocols next year.

The original convention,
signed by 65 countries including the U.S., Japan, Ukraine and European Union members, set out common definitions for hacking and other types of cybercrime. That uniformity has already helped prosecutors and police cooperate across borders, said Peter Swire, a professor in the school of cybersecurity and privacy at the Georgia Institute of Technology.

The accord also has prompted officials to
request more data from their foreign counterparts during cybercrime investigations, he said.  wsj.com

U.S. officials caution companies about risks of working with Chinese entities in AI and biotech
AdvertisementU.S. counterintelligence officials have begun a concerted push to warn companies and universities about the risks of working with Chinese entities in key emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, biotechnology and quantum computing.

Officials stressed that they are not advocating that industry and researchers “decouple,” or cut all ties with these entities, but they say they want people to understand that the Chinese government has a sweeping national plan to dominate in these fields.

Beijing’s strategy includes acquiring data and know-how, not just through hacking and other illicit acts but also through legal means such as acquisitions, investments and partnerships that businesses and researchers may not realize pose risks, top officials at the National Counterintelligence and Security Center said.

NCSC officials have begun their outreach in the past few months to raise awareness primarily about China but also about Russia, which is striving to make advances in AI and quantum technologies. washingtonpost.com

Amazon Unfazed by Supply Chain Crisis
Amazon says it’s prepared for supply chain snarls as holidays loom

Amazon said a combination of planes, trucks, ships, vans and well-staffed warehouses as well as inventory planning and added capacity at ports should prepare it for the holidays.

Amazon on Monday
reassured shoppers and industry watchers that it’s well-prepared to avoid supply-chain challenges during the holiday season.

In a blog post, Amazon said a combination of
planes, trucks, ships and delivery vans, along with staffed-up warehouses, has put it in a good position to “get customers what they want, when they want it, wherever they are this holiday season.”

Retailers are entering what’s poised to be a particularly challenging holiday shopping period, due to existing supply-chain woes, inflationary pressures and labor shortages. Several factors are behind the issues, including
skyrocketing shipping container costs and container shortages, Covid-19 outbreaks at shipping ports, as well as a shortage of workers needed to unload containers and handle goods at warehouses.

Experts have warned that consumers could see more out-of-stock notices, longer delivery times and fewer deals as a result. Many retailers
nudged consumers to begin their holiday shopping early to avoid any snafus. Earlier this month, Amazon launched “Black Friday-worthy” deals to jump-start the holiday shopping season.

Amazon said it’s
invested more in inventory planning and partnerships with suppliers so it has enough goods on hand while making sure it can route items to where they’re urgently needed.

It has also doubled its shipping container processing capacity by increasing ports of entry and partnered with more ocean freight carriers to secure space in “critical ports.” cnbc.com

Amazon HR Problems Could Fuel Unions
Inside Amazon’s Worst Human Resources Problem
A knot of problems with Amazon’s system for handling paid and unpaid leaves has led to devastating consequences for workers.

Unbeknown to Ms. Jones, her message to Mr. Bezos set off an internal investigation, and a discovery: Ms. Jones was far from alone. For at least a year and a half — including during periods of record profit — Amazon had been shortchanging new parents, patients dealing with medical crises and other vulnerable workers on leave, according to a confidential report on the findings. As many as 179 of the company’s other warehouses had potentially been affected, too.

That error is only one strand in a longstanding knot of problems with Amazon’s system for handling paid and unpaid leaves, according to dozens of interviews and hundreds of pages of internal documents obtained by The New York Times. Together, the records and interviews reveal that the issues have been more widespread — affecting the company’s blue-collar and white-collar workers — and more harmful than previously known, amounting to what several company insiders described as one of its gravest human resources problems.

Workers across the country facing medical problems and other life crises have been fired when the attendance software mistakenly marked them as no-shows, according to former and current human resources staff members, some of whom would speak only anonymously for fear of retribution. nytimes.com

The case against Mark Zuckerberg: Insiders say Facebook’s CEO chose growth over safety
The SEC has been asked to probe whether his iron fisted management style, described in newly released documents and by insiders, led to disastrous outcomes.

While it’s unclear whether the SEC will take the case or pursue action against the CEO personally, the allegations made by the whistleblower represent arguably the most profound challenge to Zuckerberg’s leadership of the most powerful social media company on Earth. Experts said the SEC — which has the power to seek depositions, fine him and even remove him as chairman — is likely to dig more deeply into what he knew and when. Though his direct perspective is rarely reflected in the documents, the people who worked with him say his fingerprints are everywhere in them. washingtonpost.com

New York, NY: Grab-n-Go Thieves Swipe $18,526 in Eyewear from LensCrafters, Including Lots of Prada
Last Thursday around noon, a team of six thieves allegedly walked into LensCrafters at 2050 Broadway (70th), grabbed 37 pairs of sunglasses and glasses frames and fled with the loot, valued at $18,526, an NYPD spokesperson told WSR. Some pairs were priced at $1,395, $1,446 and $1,524 apiece, NYPD said, noting the complaint mentions 13 Prada items swiped. “There was no use of force threatened. No injuries,” NYPD said. Though the complaint mentioned six male suspects, a 20th Precinct tweet says detectives are seeking five men and one woman for the grand larceny. westsiderag.com

Chicago, IL: Concealed carry holder foiled organized tobacco thieves at River North Walgreens — but they are still raiding stores
Two men who have stolen large volumes of cigarettes from Walgreens stores across the North Side had a little scare when they targeted one of the chain’s River North stores on October 14: They came face to face with a concealed carry holder who sent them running. CWBChicago first told you about the thieves one month ago. But, according to a new community alert from Chicago police, the thieves have struck several more times since then — including two thefts within hours of being confronted by the licensed gun carrier.

Police went to the Walgreens at 641 North Clark in River North around 8:30 p.m. on October 14 after two men hopped the front counter, confronted a manager, and began collecting cigarettes. But a concealed carry holder interrupted the theft, and the duo ran away. But they must not have been too scared. According to a CPD report, they struck again 30 minutes later at Walgreens’ 834 West Armitage location in Lincoln Park. Once again, they forced their way over the counter and stole tobacco products.

Last week, Chicago police issued a community alert to warn stores in Jefferson Park and Albany Park about two men who have repeatedly gone behind the front counters of retail stores to steal “large amounts of cigarettes” in plastic bags. Then, they targeted two more stores in Logan Square within 30 minutes: at 2440 West North Avenue and 3110 West Armitage. CPD records show the men hit a Walgreens at 4343 North Central in Portage Park earlier in the day. On Friday, police issued a community alert about the thieves, who are also responsible for stealing piles of tobacco products from Walgreens stores at 3222 North Milwaukee at 8:47 p.m. October 19; 5935 West Addison at 9:55 p.m. October 19; and 4343 North Kedzie at 3:24 p.m. on October 20. cwbchicago.com

Ventura County, CA: Vegas man arrested after string of Home Depot thefts
A Las Vegas man was arrested earlier this month in connection with a string of power tool thefts from Home Depots in Camarillo, Oxnard, Simi Valley and Thousand Oaks, authorities said. The Ventura County Sheriff's Office said the 24-year-old Nevada man was ultimately taken into custody Oct. 13 after he was spotted at the Camarillo store walking out with brand name power tools. A store employee confronted the man, and the alleged thief pushed past the worker and fled, sheriff's officials said. Employees were able to get a description of the man's vehicle and his license plate. Sheriff's deputies determined the vehicle had been reported stolen from Inglewood. The man was later arrested by sheriff's deputies after he was pulled over in Thousand Oaks, authorities said. Deputies said they also found evidence of power tools stolen from a Home Depot in Goleta. The man allegedly walked out of other Ventura County locations five times without paying, the sheriff's office said. The man is accused of stealing thousands of dollars in merchandise during September and October in Ventura and Santa Barbara counties. vcstar.com

Shootings & Deaths

Boise, ID: Mall shooting leaves 2 dead; suspect arrested
At least two people are dead and five others — including a police officer — are injured after a shopping mall shooting Monday in Boise, Idaho, authorities said. At a news conference, Boise Police Chief Ryan Lee said officers responded to a report of shots fired at Boise Towne Square shopping mall at about 1:50 p.m. The mall is located in Idaho’s largest city and is the city’s largest mall. When police arrived, authorities say they saw someone who matched the description of a suspect. An exchange of gunfire followed, which led to one police officer being injured, according to Lee. Lee said a suspect is in custody and believes there was only one shooter. The suspect is in critical condition, and the officer was treated and released according to Boise police. Authorities haven't identified a motive for the shooting. About a quarter of a mile away from the mall, officers closed part of a road near a busy intersection so they could investigate a second crime scene related to the shooting incident. Officers at the second crime scene declined to answer questions about the investigation other than to confirm it was related to the shooting investigation. Idaho Governor Brad Little called the shooting "unthinkable" in a tweet Monday afternoon, adding that those injured in the shooting are in his prayers. usatoday.com

It finally came to a stop at the back of the building, police say.

At the end of most interviews, candidates are given the opportunity to ask questions. Surprisingly enough, most candidates are unprepared for that question, itself. So take the time in your preparation to develop a few well thought out questions that reflect your knowledge of the company, their future plans and how you fit within them. Certainly your questions should also focus around the variables that increase the success of the specific position you're applying for and not deal with the benefits, salary, or work schedule, travel requirements, or expenses. As these questions will turn off an interviewer and are premature. Your questions should be a reflection of the type of executive you are and will be if they hire you and therefore should be designed to show how you'll be successful and valuable for their organization.


Just a Thought,
Gus
