They might as well announce that they’re all raising prices, because this is doomed to fail.

SNORT.

Throw money at it. That’ll work. If people aren’t willing to change their hearts and minds, nothing will change.

[null and void]

When the police and courts won’t do their jobs...

[ProtectOurFreedom]

How pathetic. Nothing but a feel-good, useless gesture. Training employees? You’ve got to be kidding me. How about throwing criminals in jail with long sentences?

You cannot fix the cultural rot. Here is what is required:

Step 1. Oust all Democrats from public office.

[Libloather]

Hire security. Braking news.

[UnwashedPeasant]

The establishment gives us more crime so we will demand more police power, but the new police power is not used against the criminals.

[Paladin2]

Since when is its taxpayers responsible to personally setup a private law enforcement effort to address crimes not prevented by the legally appointed, publicly funded law enforcement? Can they get a refund on their taxes since service were not provided by the government?

[Lockbox]

If I was a shareholder I might think of suing for the waste of business funds for a non business expense.

[hal ogen]

Don’t these businesses pay taxes? Aren’t the bureaucrats and fellow travelers in government expected to provide various services including police, courts and prisons? If the incompetent, arrogant loser bureaucrats can’t provide the services, shouldn’t they be canned?

PG&E is not HQ’d in Oakland. I worked for them and KPermante — the latter in Oakland.
Scary place, even over a decade ago. Now, it is no man’s land. Coppers still tell folks to avoid the nearby BART stop if you want to survive the walk to your car.

CHEAPER TO JUST MOVE
