What would you say to people who are concerned about essential places like grocery stores or pharmacies being attacked in those communities?
When it comes to small business, family owned business or locally owned business, they are no more likely to provide worker protections. They are no more likely to have to provide good stuff for the community than big businesses. It's actually a Republican myth that has, over the last 20 years, really crawled into even leftist discourse: that the small business owner must be respected, that the small business owner creates jobs and is part of the community. But that's actually a right-wing myth.
A business being attacked in the community is ultimately about attacking like modes of oppression that exist in the community. It is true and possible that there are instances historically when businesses have refused to reopen or to come back. But that is a part of the inequity of the society, that people live in places where there is only one place where they can get access to something [like food or medicine]. That question assumes well, what if you're in a food desert? But the food desert is already an incredibly unjust situation. There's this real tendency to try and blame people for fighting back, for revealing the inequity of the injustice that's already been formed by the time that they're fighting. SNIP

Food desert: a situation resulting in a lack of healthy food options caused by Democrat regulations against both 1) new business owners setting up shop, and 2) police protection of businesses from armed robbery.
One author is a liar, callous and inhumane towards people in general. There is nothing to justify the riots and looting. Period.
The huge difference is that the profits stay local and recirculate in your own community rather than go of to other states to be inverted in the offshore global community.
America first, last, and always. Screw the Obama crap.
“food desert”
That’s the sort of dishonest word construct that could only find purchase in academia.
The author is at the midpoint of the brain desert!
“food deserts” exist because people in those communities embrace crime as the dominant livelihood and lifestyle.
It’s not really that communists believe their own lies.
It’s that they don’t acknowledge, or perhaps even understand ontologically, the existence of truth.
I thought this was Babylon Bee again. NPR is out to destroy satire.
National Putrid Radio
Dear author: IT AIN’T YOUR/THEIR FRIGGIN’ STUFF!!!!!
wasn’t looting, it was, according to the left, nothing more than an ‘Uncompensated retail experience” for the store
[[That’s the sort of dishonest word construct that could only find purchase in academia.]]
See my post above for an unreal bastardization of the Engrish Language
“A business being attacked in the community is ultimately about attacking like modes of oppression that exist in the community. “
this is why they invented 00 buckshot in a 3 inch package

He is “Beef-Witted”
Now we see why objectivity is seen as a tool of white supremacists and part of the “systemic racism” in the USA.
IIRC, Michelle wanted Liquor stores to sell vegetables.
Maybe I should write “In Defense of Shooting Looters.” If nothing else would be more coherent.
The author is an idiot.
The small business owner helps keep money circulating IN the community, and it provides for the commercial tax base of property taxes for support of essential government in the community. The small business owner multiplied spawns other investment and economic opportunity IN the community. Larger businesses are more likely to invest, and provide jobs, where there is (or nearby) a healthy small business community than in an empty rural plain. The author is an idiot.
Destroy the small business community and you’ll see larger companies leaving, as is happening in many places now where the rioting and looting is going on. The author is an idiot.
The thief becomes your slavemaster.
If writing honestly, Natalie is one more ignorant twit.
Many of those small businesses she does not care about were created by the owner investing his/her life savings. The owner frequently spends 12 - 16 hours a day running that business. They frequently can not afford to buy replacement insurance because they lose so much money to theft.
No, Natalie, many of those businesses are never coming back because the former owner is ruined financially.
