Who wants to business with Thugs?
As far as I know real Amish are pretty independent.
I wonder how well the big city run by Democrats, Amish will do without food?
Probably vote for more Democrats?

It’s in Ward 8, where most of the feral criminals live.

Maybe there is just ONE black entrepreneur in all of DC - who will open a grocery store in Southeast.

Can we find just one?

Surely, the locals wouldn’t steal from a brother, like they would a big corporation? Even then, that person could request all the local “peacekeeper” and BLM organizations to come and stand guard by the door.

I bet there would be Gov’t grants to pay for any investment and construction. If they couched it in “social justice” language, I imagine they could get big discounts on products from fortune 500 food companies. They’d have the whole market to themselves in that area too.

Can we find ONE person to step up??

Democrat elites live in some of the wealthiest counties in the country - those surrounding Washington DC...

They have plenty of great stores.

Democrats don’t give a damn what happens to the ‘black community’. They got theirs. As Biden said to blacks (you all) would be in chains if it wasn’t for white liberal elites... so blacks need to be grateful to white liberals and learn travel for a few hours to buy food.

Store name is Giant. Not Food Lion. Many, many articles about it are available via search.

I found it very quickly using Google. Maybe you’re doing it wrong.

It’s a bad look right now. That store went in around 2006 to great fanfare. They need to be able to blame corporate greed.

Couple of years ago , after complaining about “food deserts”
they got a supermarket to open in Newark Central Ward aka The Hood

It boasted of a excellent produce section, butcher shop, well stocked shelves

All the media and politicians turned out for its opening

It closed year and half later as nobody in the neighborhood would shop there

So next time whine about “food deserts” remind them of this ......

Shoplifting is a touchy subject. Might lead to charges of racism.

This store and other retail/ condo projects were started in the mid-00’s as DC gentrification expanded further and further east. Developers took over the NY Ave corridor (now a disaster) and other NE areas, and, needing cheaper land, went over the Anacostia River, thinking what is now will always be.

Wupes.

Obama and the Democrats know that high prices and food shortages historically cause revolution. It is all part of the plan to total chaos.
