teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

The store lost nothing. They reported the incident to their insurance company and inflated the numbers. They received a $5000 payout.

The store lost $30, or did I fall prey to some common psychological bias?
70 is a red herring here. 100 out, 100 in, 30 out.

A Man takes $100.00 (-)
B. Man gets $70.00 worth of product and $30.00 change ($100.00)
C. Gives the store the original $100.00 (+)
A and C cancel each other out.
Man ends up with $100.00 in product and change.

They've lost saleprice/(1+markup)+30
If markup is 20% $88.333333
I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.
