Keep the sign up, put up a perimeter security fence and repurpose the building and staff into county prisons. Walmart can go into a new line of business.
“People who live near the stores that are closing say the closure is going to have a big impact on them and low-income shoppers.”
Should have thought of that last time you voted. You get what you vote for...good and hard. Enjoy the suck, prog jerks.
Drug addicts and wilding punks with loose mothers are the main problems.
“People who live near the stores that are closing say the closure is going to have a big impact on them and low-income shoppers“
Learn to vote better, morons.
Lying liars who lie. They’re closing the stores because the people that they support are creating an environment where they cannot do business.
No problem. The city council will just pass a law that says they can’t close. This approach has worked with all their other problems. Why won’t it work in this case?
You have to be really screwed up for Walmart to pullout
Good job libtards
They will be anchor tenants in Trump’s new cities.
Now the Left will play the “supply desert” game, where they
blame the right for no services in low income communities.
They won’t own up to the fact their polices drove businesses
out of these areas.
Nobody is coming back in either. You can take that to the
bank.
Safeway will be next. Good luck then Lefties.
It’s only 2 stores. Still, big box blight is a thing.
I don’t feel sorry for the citizens of Portland one bit. THEY voted for the city government that ALLOWS and CONDONES BLM and Antifa violence - even provided them with a close-in camping ground by the river downtown when they were at their height working against President Trump. Wheeler is despicable as are all the other Democrat puke-leftists who want to take his place.
So all you residents, spend a few years in the urban desert YOU helped create and realize that ‘choices have consequences.’ It’s gonna suck to be you.
Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind
It is pretty simple. The city of Portland allows people to steal with impunity. Walmart loses money. Walmart closes the store.
“What are we going to do?” Um, read the rules of Sam Walton and open a new store. Duh.
Traditions are hard to shake. Until recently, it was illegal to pump your own gas in Oregon. Portland has more rainfall than most other cities on the West Coast, yet they are totally unprepared for the occasional snowstorm that makes driving difficult and/or dangerous on unplowed streets. Not to worry; the snow will melt.
Like San Francisco, Portland is ga-ga over trolley cars, real or fake. Elements of the city gummint would like to banish the automobile from city streets. (How’s that for retro thinking?) Bicycles have de facto right-of-way at intersections. Envision combining the worst traffic laws of Beijing and Paris.
Whether the decision to close all Walmart stores in Portland was helped along by political pressure or was just a business decision we’ll likely never know. Either way, it’s not going to have much effect on either the residents of Portland or Walmart’s bottom line. It will give the Walmart haters temporary satisfaction until the next big box store moves into a former Walmart location.
Portland deserves to be just a giant 3rd world homeless shelter.
Portland deserves to be just a giant 3rd world homeless shelter.
(The city of Portland will no longer have any more Walmart stores.)
Where are the thieves gonna steal from now?
C’mon man!!!
Corporate cowards “they were not meeting expectations” AKA LOOTING
