They have to build the new Walmart so they can watch it be burned by racially motivated arsonists? I think no way.
Liberals simply need to have the opportunity to be pissed off about something. I remember about 10 years ago, Wal-Mart wanted to build a superstore in South Central LA, and were run out of town.
And now they’re pissed because Wal-Mart won’t come to da ‘hood.
Well, eff ‘em.
Liberalism exhibits, among other problems, cognitive dissonance.
Combine that with its reality disconnect, and there’s a mental illness at its foundation.
“You can’t have it both ways!”
Yes, they can because they live in Utopia La-La Land!
These cities are torn between biting the hands that feed and trying to force more hands to contribute to the pot. While they like to perceive themselves as desired clients, the fact is that business is just impractical in those areas. Why open a business that gets “Baltimored” on a daily basis by an endless stream of shoplifters?
As their tax bases hit rock bottom, these areas are ratcheting up the pressure for anyone to come and provide for their gibsmedats. Federal and state aid only goes so far...
It is the Unions that Hate Walmart. The leader in that hate movement is the United Food and Commercial Workers Union International which has been trying to organize Walmart workers with no success for decades. Walmart recently announced the closing of over 200 stores, so why should they build new stores in neighborhoods where they will be continually robbed and perhaps burned down? I would call this a good “Business Decision”.
They’re entirely consistent. They love to hate Walmart.
Wal-Mart, being the largest retailer on earth is an easy target, from the left and the right. They are damned if they do and damned if they do not.
Hell, all you have to do is read some of the posts here on Free Republic. some dislike Wal-Mart more than they do Obama or Trump or Cruz or Rubio or ........................
Those two stores in the ghetto sections were to be giveaway stores. It is only right that Wal Mart give away its merchandise to the preferred poor. The stealing would have moved more merchandise than the purchases. At the WalMart near here which is not close to the ghetto I do not understand why they are even open after 9 PM. The obamanites at night steal wholesale. It is hard to call it shoplifting. There is nothing surreptious about it. Lines of people rush out the door with carts loaded with TVs and other high dollar stuff. There are security guards and security people following them around but they are not allowed to actually interfere with the theft. I was one of those security guards for a week then made the company put me back at the shipyard. All I was allowed to do was ask to see receipts. Then when I was pushed aside I was not allowed to do any more than inform the manager. One of the other guards who is a bit crazy, held a pair at gunpoint in the parking lot with probably 3000$ worth of goods. When the police came the manager came out and said to let them go the store declined to prosecute. The not-supposed-to-be-armed guard was admonished by the deputy to not do that any more. WM banned him from the property.
Possibly local $15 minimum wage, and local laws about minimum hours and family leave taxes, and then they wonder why WalMart can’t open there? In those neighborhoods they also lose a lot to theft.
They got their wage increase and now they don’t understand why over 200 of the stores are closing? They don’t have a lick of common sense. Not one. They get what they deserve.

Of course they can have it both ways -- that is the heart of leftist Orwellian Doublethink.
The bottom line is that Liberals are mentally ill.
Can you imagine the volume of non-paying purchases in a DC Walmart?
They hate Walmart and they don’t miss an opportunity to make fun of the unfortunates that work and shop there.
Get ready for government-run “Bernie-Marts”.
