Democrats have been on a Jihad against everything American since we took away their Slaves.

Chicago and every other Democrat-run big city in America. Maybe 25 U.S. cities are now no-go.

Walgreen's in particular is a case in point. They prided themselves in having a locally
staffed store in every neighborhood. Hung on after other chains had fled. Got praised
for "corporate good citizenship" by local Democrats for that.

But after the Summer of Floyd they couldn't take it any more. Now they are just another
bunch of racists for leaving.

This is what the people of Chicago voted for. Period. Case closed.

It’s not Democrats per se, it’s black “leadership.”
Mayor Daley and his father were both Democrats but didn’t tolerate the crime and drugs.

this article is not news. what’s news is the source.

“Chicago Democrat Mayor Brandon Johnson says he wants to open “taxpayer-funded, city-owned grocery stores” in order to deal with the problem of businesses shutting down.”

Of course, being “city-owned” means that these places won’t have to close when the locals help themselves to all the merchandise without bothering to pay for it. The taxpayers can just pony up more money to re-stock.

The Democrat-led city of Chicago is facing skyrocketing crime, homelessness, and drug use, among other problems.

Why did Caterpillar move its headquarters to Texas?
Expenses were a major factor in Caterpillar’s decision. The total cost of living in suburban Deerfield, Illinois is 26% higher than Irving, Texas.

For example, Illinois commuters are paying the fifth–highest gas prices in the nation. Illinois residents also pay the nation’s highest combined state and local tax burden.Jun 15, 2022.

A woman accused of attacking four Chicago police officers has been released from custody after a new state law went into effect abolishing cash bail.

Esmeralda Aguilar, 24, a resident of the Chicago suburb of Cicero, is charged with four counts of aggravated battery to a peace officer over the incident that allegedly occurred over the weekend.

Aguilar was arrested moments after the alleged attack in the downtown area. However, she was released Monday, the same day the Pretrial Fairness Act, which is part of the SAFE-T Act, went into effect.

What destroyed the rust belt was Free Trade and offshoring. The drugs and the crime came after that.

Chicago Democrat Mayor Brandon Johnson says he wants to open “taxpayer-funded, city-owned grocery stores”

Communism ... if you're a Communist, it's what you do.

[Mister Da]

City owned grocery stores? What makes the mayor think these stores will be immune to shoplifters & looters?

Communist countries provide an example of gov’t run stores: Empty shelves, long lines, & slim pickings. Add in efforts to be Earth friendly, anti-racist, & LBGTPXYZ... compatible, & your food choices will be limited to crickets & soy products.

This should be fun to watch as customers realize what their new reality is.
