As opposed to 25 years ago, it’s not so easy for the corporations like Target and Walmart to virtue-signal by accepting the losses in those cities (with shop lifting and lawsuits likely being more costly than even looting), and simply increase their prices to cover those costs - thinking of it simply as a tax for operating in the US.
That’s because Amazon and many, many, similar companies exist. So if Target wants to jack their prices another 10%, they will lose a huge amount business. In fact, it’s very possible that stores are gone for good.
mayorette (?) of chiraq is begging walmart and others to stay in the city. wonder why??
