Even Ayn Rand is stunned at this one

[kiryandil]

The law in question would require stores to give a whopping six-month notice before closing,

Obviously these Socialist-Commie-Fascist clowns have NO idea how a business runs.

All it would take is the managers to "forget" to order supplies, or "forget" to pay the suppliers to deliver.

Three to five weeks, tops.

[hanamizu]

I presume that any such law to really be effective would also require the stores be stocked to the city’s satisfaction and charging prices within city guidelines. The same would go for staffing, hours, etc.

I was unaware that cities had that kind of legal power

voters need to require performance bonds on local government

[usurper]

Forcing grocery stores to become charities for six months while a bunch of activists complain is not going to stop stores from closing.

Just keep the store open and don't stock them.

[SaxxonWoods]

Beat them to the punch. Close now.

[Billthedrill]

Empty the shelves. “Hey, we’re open, though...”

[piytar]

This is pure insanity.

Any store could “stay open.” Liquidate all available assets and then just don’t pay for utilities and taxes. Go Galt.

[wildcard_redneck]

Nobody can stop a business from closing unless they pony the money up to support the business. I hope the leftists get used to disappointment.

Why doesn’t SF just seize these businesses and fire the former owners?

[I want the USA back]

The end goal of communism is for all businesses to be owned by the collectivity. SF is moving closer to that.

[BobL]

Nothing wrong with staying open - just put pictures of food and QR Code where other supermarkets have food.

[Bullish]

Boy, they just can’t wait to get their full fledged fascism in place.

[null and void]

Stay open, don’t order any more stock.

Empty shelves are the #1 indicator of socialist success...

[Williams]

Communism.
And to provide money to the drug cartels.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

“Not sure how the fire started, Officer! All I know is that I’m out of business and moving to a more SANE part of what once was America.”

*SMIRK*

[nwrep]

So what? Just think how bad the racism against blacks used to be!

[Salman]

Serious question.
How do they expect to enforce this?

[Pontiac]

Every store in SF should close immediately.

If SF is going to make their financial decisions for them it is time to go.
