People and politicians need to learn that for profit corporations want to make profit. If you want those stores in those areas, then clean up the culture and corrupt issues that exist there, then stores will come.

Do these people exist in a society without a bountiful social safety net?

No. If they lived in China, they would die of hunger in the streets.

Why haven't our board moderates chimed in on this issue?

They seem to be missing from this thread for some odd reason.

These stores need to go the old Service Merchandise route where you order and pay then the items roll out and you pick them up.


That's how grocery stores originally started out. You walked in with your list and they went to the back to get the items. Maybe it's time to go back to that model.

I mean the options are arrest and imprison the people stealing, go to pay first or abandon lawless areas.

OT Moderates are going to avoid this thread and topic like the plague.

Y’all go ahead and smash that downvote button to prove my point. Much appreciated.

They stayed open a lot longer than I would have.

Walgreens stores in Chicago blast opera music outside to keep undesirables away. It’s really spooky and surreal for some reason when you see it in person, and also hilarious that they do it and it works.

Yep. It’s coming.

As we slide further into a low-trust society, brick-and-mortar retail is going to look less like shopping and more like picking up supplies from a fortified concrete bunker.

Two options: pay upfront and have your order brought out to the parking lot, or pay extra to have it delivered to your house.

That’s a shame because black people invented medicine and built Walgreens.

THIS is what needs to be addressed long before any mentions of "adjusting" social security for people that have paid a lifetime into it is even mentioned. There are waaay too many healthy, working age people eating and not working.

It's friken amazing that there is a push for more foreigners to enter the country to "work" when we have tons of people who refuse to work now.

The idiots who are shooting up neighborhoods in the early dawn hours will be in damn bed if they are made to work and spend all day framing houses.
