    It took me a good while, but I FINALLY figured out who this woman looks like.

    It’s absolutely Martha Kelly.

    She played the drug dealer boss in Euphoria.

    For a moment I thought it was this one: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/crime/moms-for-liberty-arrest-shoplifting-target-b2477747.html because both did it at Target and exactly in the same way and continued after being caught several times.

    But kleptomania is more common than I thought:

    The prevalence of kleptomania in the U.S. general population is unknown but has been estimated at 6 per 1000 people, which translates into about 1.2 million of the 200 million American adults.

    Kleptomania is thought to account for 5% of shoplifting. Based on total shoplifting costs of $10 billion in 2002, this 5% translates into a $500 million annual loss to the economy attributable to kleptomania.

    This loss does not include the costs associated with stealing from friends and acquaintances or costs incurred by the legal system. Besides its grave toll on individuals and families, kleptomanic behavior carries serious legal consequences: approximately 2 million Americans are charged with shoplifting annually. If kleptomania accounts for 5% of these, this translates into 100,000 arrests.

      It’s the bright red lipstick on thin, downturns lips. Also the “oh shit” look in her eyes as she realizes she’s completely fucked up her life. No bank will ever hire her again.

    Do what you love for a living and you’ll never work a day in your life. 🌈

    Woman who lives to steal:

    She committed the cardinal sin: stealing from the establishment. Steal from the working class with predatory financial practices and fees for being poor and they are fine with it; the powers that be have been trying to steal the working and middle class out of existence for years. But she stole from other companies, stupid lady. After a few handfuls of stores they won’t stand for it.

    I actually kinda feel bad for this lady. I mean, i know–she works for WF, they’re an evil company–so some sort of cosmic justice may apply… but i just can’t help but wonder what life must be like when you legit have that kind of disorder. There’s no plausible reason for the behavior–even she herself apparently recognizes that. From the article: “When asked why she repeatedly shoplifts when she has a good job, Weiss reportedly said she just didn’t have an answer.”

      Maybe when your job is to sit in a glass office overseeing a couple dozen cubicle workers and your day consists of using various Microsoft Office products, useless meetings, and answering phone calls, this is the only excitement she’s able to get.

        Humans weren’t meant to be office workers. It’s not surprising that some people mentally break, when you look around and most people’s body’s are broken down.

    She apparently couldn’t be satisfied by legally stealing from people in her day job.
