When will these communities and their elected Dem politicians ever learn?


When will people on the right learn that the Dems are doing this on purpose? They want people to leave Chicagoland. Chicago and Illinois are permanently blue. They need some of those votes to move to red states.

This is not an accident and these policies are garbage on purpose.

They did that at the Helena Walmart but that wasn't enough to stop the theft.

My parents grew up that area. They left in the 80s when the crime started getting bad. Others stayed and they apparently enjoyed the misery.

They just got a new mayor however long story short, he embezzled money in the six figures from the city in the past as a city council member.

Once a "food desert" has been created, they will push for state owned grocery stores. Citizens will be issued their food rations vs buy what they want.


What else can happen? This seems like a logical follow up.

Unceremoniously? As opposed to ceremoniously? Really? Would she have preferred a large ceremony to announce the closing of stores. Some bbq and mobile sno-cone vendors? Maybe a face painting station and balloon artists for the kids?


She probably wanted her constituents to have one last chance to loot all of the free shite they could carry...a going out of business "sale".

didn’t work with the community to figure out how to have a business model that worked

The residents that are being discriminated against should riot and burn any businesses still remaining, that'll learn em to be racist!

I have stated on this website many times.. (Too bad I can't find it though), that the day will come that first responders, delivery drivers, postal workers, utility workers, food delivery drivers, etc.. will start refusing to go into certain areas... Food Stores closing their doors is the first piece of that puzzle to fall into place.


I believe this. Soon we will be moving from the GBR Area to our property in rural Mississippi. We want to be the first to get out and get top dollar for our home. Sadly the decline is real.

”All communities in Chicago should have access to reparations and free essential goods and services,” Lightfoot said in the statement.


An old friend went to engineering school in Detroit. The only grocery store near campus conducted business behind thick Plexiglas barriers. Food and products were ordered by name and put through secure oneway chambers.
