I don’t supposed Michelle Obama wants to hear that people wouldn’t live in neighborhoods without grocery stores if the inhabitants of those neighborhoods didn’t rob and burgle them.
Here in the Burgh, the powers-that-be put wanted a full-service supermarket for the Hill District. You know, dry cleaner, florist, etc.
Save-a-Lot said that that would never work, but they offered to build one of their stores there (lots of store brands, low cost items, but functional.) The powers-that-be rejected that as inadequate. Instead, they tried to work out a deal with Kuhn’s then started heaping on environmental and “living wage” mandates and Kuhn’s said, “Screw it.”
So now they turn back to Save-a-Lot of course.
i had read that. makes perfect sense but michelle won’t address that aspect.
