The mayor’s office says it would be the first major U.S. city to enact such a plan.

    It sounds like you do have a prejudice against those store chains. Those stores were closed because there was an insanely stupid amount of theft.

          Now show me the investor reports where they say the same thing, if you can find them

          So you think they went “hey it’s only been 10 years, this theft problem is going to clear up any time…” ?? Change your username, you’re disgracing it.

        I always try to forgo people’s political stance and just debate them on issues as humans. Sucks that these particular humans ignore everything that doesn’t fit their agenda and they all have no fucking responsibility and claim innocence and blame everyone else. It’s pathetic.

          If you actually debated people as humans maybe you’d have some empathy for the common people affected by this issue rather than bootlicking

            Not selling something is usually less profitable than selling something, it’s not bootlicking to say there may be a reason so many stores closed.

        Americans going to the government owned post office that isn’t profitable: Wow, I sure am glad that there is a way for me to send and receive mail, it’s a service everyone needs.

        Americans considering the government opening a grocery store that might not be profitable: This is totally unsustainable and there is too much stealing for this to exist. People do not deserve access to a conveniently located grocery store.

            Implying that a government opening a grocery store in an area because companies closed thiers being some sort of extremist commie take when the government already does this with things like libraries and postal offices and nobody bats an eye.

          A lot of people do critize USPS, several years ago Republicans tried to privatize it but there was heavy push back. It’s not exactly hypocritical here.
