Glad to hear the “Chain” will not build there. Let the idiots starve to death. The store would have thrived on food stamps I’ll bet, assuming the smash and grab groups didn’t steal everything before the food stamp users got there.
A recent study showed that even when $500 million in taxpayer money was spent to skew the market and put more fresh fruits and vegetables into these mythical “food deserts”,
the people didn’t buy them, and their obesity rate did not change. Leftists were dumbfounded. How could this not work?
I got to thinking about this and it exposes the base assumption of the left that causes them to get everything wrong.
That assumption is that man is “basically good” and only exhibits negative behavior because of his external environment.
They can’t fathom that changing the environment, ie, providing more fruits and veggies, didn’t cause people to buy more of them.
The truth was, there were minimal F & V’s in these areas
BECAUSE THERE WAS NO MARKET FOR THEM - THE PEOPLE WOULD NOT BUY THEM!
In other words, yet one more proof that the left’s assumption about the nature of Man is 180 degrees wrong.
