It's the other way around.
” ... I dream of things that never were, and ask why not?” - Bobby Kennedy
Are we to believe that businesses avoid neighborhoods where there is not profit?
I wonder if the Chicago Sun Times spends a lot of money trying to sell newspapers in these same neighborhoods. Do they put out a newspaper box on each corner? Why not?
“Andy Fisher has been the executive director for the Community Food Security Coalition for 10 years...”
Yeah, and I bet he pulls down a good six-figure salary, too.
“...organic farm”
Clinton was only off by a couple letters.
I am seeing right here where I am today!! a major food chain will go out of business in the next 12 months, why? because it is being stolen blind. Happens all the time were you over populate with people that have low job skills and the lack of jobs to begin with yet they keep on coming
Exactly! And how many times a week will the stores be hit by armed crackheads. Let them all get together and fund their own little businesses in the area. Asians have been doing that forever. Oh wait, if you do that you might lose your welfare check. Bottom line...they have exactly the sort of services in blighted areas that they deserve. We do not owe them anything on this.
“Community Food Security Coalition and Environmental Justice: “
When I read the posting and came to the part about “government grants” I realized it was a means to give handouts and expect little or nothing from recipiants. Why not just open a store let em push and fill a cart, and never pay. The words “Social Justice” are always a dead giveaway. Still, such organizations do provide work for idealistic people with degrees in social work and/or grantwriting.
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
So he’s the one that laid that egg - interesting...
Where but in Chicago would a politician talk about how, analogous to the what economists call a "food dessert" there's also a "health care dessert, er, uh, desert". Do politicians even bother reading speeches before delivering them?
There’s a shortage, nationwide, in our foodbanks.
There are much fewer independent grocers than there used to be.
These two facts wouldn’t be related now would they...?
