So, open stores with empty shelves?

If this is serious, she will soon learn about malicious compliance.

“Sure, we will leave the store open. We will sell cans of beans. And we will run out every day.”

There will be 1 employee. And the hours will be 10 AM until we run out of beans.

And the beans will be $20 a can.

Perhaps she should review the government policies that have caused grocery stores to leave, and examine exactly why the independent grocers have disappeared?

Just like the one in KCMO....Kangz and Queenz had a govt store opened and it was WORSE than Moscow in 1992. Rotten meat, stale bread, expired cans......got partially shut down when the food cans popped and botulism everywhere. I think NOI came in and bleached everything. Still have to get appt to get to the store, open 2-3 hours a day IIRC.

The “experiment” continues, as universities now find entry-level students unable to do math at a middle school level, requiring remedial study. “Dumb” needs be dredged out of the American “river” and a navigable channel made clear.

It will be amusing to watch a Commie try to stop any investment or asset which wishes to exit the city from leaving. "People walk away" is far more powerful and persistent than "bow and kneel before me."

In Seattle, shoplifting is considered a survival crime and is rarely prosecuted, that's why grocery stores are closing, the city leadership's incompetence creates the food deserts. This new socialist Mayor is destined to make things even worse.

Katie Wilson’s parents in NY (both professors) send her money to pay for her rent and child care expenses.

Yeah, that’ll work. And yes, Virginia, the left really IS that naive, uneducated, and unsophisticated.

Her government stores will look like those in the old Soviet Union.

We who live on the west side of Seattle, the Olympic Peninsula, will kick back with our bag of popcorn and watch the fun.

If I was a high-up corporate manager at one of the chains that services that area an read this, I’d be going over the books with a fine toothed comb to see if they were profitable enough be worth staying open.

If the numbers just don’t seem profitable within a nice good sized buffer I’d be making plans to move them outside of King county today before the lawyers had to take over.
