Bernie told us that we don’t need 23 choices of deodorant, 18 choices of sneakers when kids are going hungry.
My crystal ball shows empty store shelves.
All part of the plan - bankrupt industry and the middle class, nationalize everything, usher in the utopia.
Well, utopia for the ruling class, for the rest not so much.
Isn’t that called a food bank?
Oh, that’ll be a great success. The government has always proven such a great success at running retail businesses....
And the Chicongo residents will surely show their respect for the government stores that they will refuse to rob, shoplift and loot them.
That's a good idea. No one would shoplift from a city owned grocery store.
Do it! And then provide security against the shoplifting! Do it! And then wait for the liability claims as someone falls in the store(s) and sues the city, instead of a private company. Do it! PLEASE do it!
In the last year I have constantly made reference to the scene in Soylent Green where the “furniture” goes out food shopping at the store guarded by a guy with an M-16 and buys the only beef in town. That’s what I imaging any Dem-run city is going to look like very soon. Problem is that they’ll come out to the suburbs and cause trouble.
Another wonderful idea, government owned businesses. What could go wrong? All they need to do is, take over a vacant Super Walmart, order food products on the never never plan and sell them to the low & no income poor on the basis of; To each according to their wants, needs & desires at the price they can ‘afford to pay’. What could possibly go wrong?
For you literalist here, this is Sarcasm
Yay, communism!
Anyone else see now why they are allowing the criminal theft? They are going to fill the vacuum left by private businesses with state owned supply.
Another step in the Communist creep agenda for the state to end up owning everything. It is all part of the communist take over of all private property.
I bet it would be cheaper to just put a big fence around Chicago. That way, TWICE A DAY the government could ship food in for the populace to gather up.
They can hang a big sign on the fence that says -
CHI-CONGO ZOO
Feeding times 0800 & 1700
Chicago socialists will find out how impossible socialism is, in reality, to implement.
I'll take odds that the delivery trucks won't even get unloaded before they are robbed of their goods.
In fact, no for-profit businesses will even consider delivering foodstuffs to this store because here's what their delivery truck will look like after the first week of operations...
I think they call that a Food Bank. Knock yourself out Shitcago...
In summary, tax the productive so the dregs of society can openly steal from a government forced supermarket.
This filthy hypocrite, Ameya Pawar, needs to be asked repeatedly why he won't use HIS money to open a store in Chicago.
He must certainly want to stop this "abomination".
” I’m from the government and I’m here to help”
They will trumpet their success at eliminating shoplifting as well as the honesty of the “community” when nobody steals moldy bread, rancid meat, and rotten vegetables.
This is what this whole looting and burning episode is all about: government takeover.
I hope they do it and it fails spectacularly for all of the predictable reasons. It would be a nice object lesson paid for by the city of Chicago.
