Which is ironic since the “booster” is selling the “discounted” goods for a profit. Now where have I heard about that type of economic system before...
Glorifying theft......and they wanna bitch and yell racism when retail stores pull out of “urban” areas....I don’t want to hear it.

That’s warped liberal brain for you.....many are the same people that have no idea where the other end of that cable charging their stupid EV is connected to.

A socialist movement that relies on plundering their neighbor in order to resell their goods eventually sees their neighbor give up and either move away or shut down their business. Then they are left penniless and starving. Any Cuban could explain that much to these geniuses.
...and SF sinks deeper into the abyss.
That’s warped liberal brain for you.
They aren’t liberal. They hate that word now, they are full-blown Communists.
What happens if everyone decides to steal from the “booster” instead of paying?
The booster either has to protect the goods he's selling or go out of business. Funny how that works.
Is the scheme still not supply and demand?
