‘Soviet Style Central Planning’ Chicago Proposes Government-Ran Grocery Stores After Retailers Flee.
Retailers are continuing to flee big cities in droves as soft-on-crime prosecutors refuse to do what is necessary to stop skyrocketing crime rates that have made it difficult to do business in cities such as New York and San Francisco.
In Chicago, so-called ‘food deserts’ are being created in low-income areas as businesses close their doors due to a spate of smash-and-grab robberies and looting that George Soros-backed District Attorney Kim Foxx refuses to prosecute.
In response to the lack of food options for low-income residents in Chicago, Mayor Brandon Johnson announced a partnership with the Economic Security Project to build government-owned grocery stores in the city. more here
Wit these communist dolts, the answer to every problem Leftism causes is more Communism.
Free piss for yer Cheerios…
This can only end awesomely.
It’s a shame the name Piggly Wiggly was already taken…
What could go wrong with gubmint owned grocery stores?

Maybe there would be less crime, if you have to stand in line for your food.
Beetle burgers and wormdogs, sounds delicious.
If you would rather have money for food, Blackrock will buy your house 10¢ on the dollar.
As has so often been pointed out, the government couldn’t run a whorehouse and turn a profit. And the feds have a license to print money.
Thank me for your EBT.
If you haven’t figured out the communist takeover of America yet, this is not an “unintended consequence”, but the next step of the plan.

Why not just plant banana trees on every corner?

Can’t wait to see the bread lines!
Scoffers! Just wait until Brandon’s Sooper Savers become the model for grocery retailing everywhere!
Power to the People!
Ah Wakanda, Wakanda Forever, where all citizens are equal and well nourished, crime is non-existent, everyone prospers and shares in prosperity.
No vices, no violence, Every man, woman, and child well educated and highly intelligent. Everyone clothed in rich, vibrant and new colors.
Food is abundant, nourishing, and available everywhere. Theft does not exist in Wakanda.
Everyone articulate and clean, it’s storybook man.
Meanwhile in Shitcongo…
Just how will that stop crooks??
Oh don’t worry, Chicago. When 15 minute cities start popping up you’ll get your wish…and your regret.
^^^^^
The politicians or the residents?
Gonna ask my Cuban friends what they think of this idea. BRB
Everything you need will be available on the plantation.
Mystaclean – definitely not the politicians they won’t confine themselves in a large cage. From reading several interweb stories, so many libtards, especially those that don’t drive, think 15 minute cities are a great idea.
people make the mistake of thinking democrats aka communists are just stupid and can’t see the error and end result of their policies. The truth of the matter is the end result of their policies is what they want. What they want is a mindless, uneducated, mass of sheeple dependent on the state for everything. “The meaning of peace is the removal of everything that stands in the way of socialism.” – Karl Marx
Gee … jail has government-supplied food, too!
Free starvation for everyone.
GUM Amerikkka, coming soon to the loop.
The disgusting George Soros’ tactic is to use the black people as his personal zombie army. A different (manipulative) take on Joe Biden’s Ku Klux Klan where the blacks had been segregated against. Soros-Biden now use them to further themselves. Think blm.
It is exactly what the dirty motherfuckers who vote for Democrats deserve. All of them. Give them what they voted for and give it to them good and hard.
Does Biden want government run or government ruined grocery stores?
Because commuting in Chicago wasn’t dangerous enough, now you’ll be robbed, raped, and beaten while standing in line for groceries for four hours. In a fifteen minute city…

.keep sucking nword dick & swallowing, assholes
Schadenfreude is what people who vote Democrat are looking for. It is only just that they themselves are the target of their malicious intent. No one could be more deserving of what choosing to be ruled by open Satanists than those who vote for it. Hell on earth they freely chose.
Think the shoplifting is going to disappear just because they’re now .gov supermarkets?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA can’t breathe…
yay! life plans for everyone from the people who’ve never worked or provided jobs in the private sector
Deplorable Second Class

“Just how will that stop crooks??”
It simply puts the crooks in the employ of the government. The people can’t steal from empty shelves, as in the Soviet Union.
As the government already tells farmers who can grow what, and at what price, they will also demand who the farmers can sell to….
I’ve been in the grocery business for almost 50 years. I can tell you that running a grocery store like the government will result in massive losses. There are very few people employed by the gubment that could do any job in the private sector

If you like the TSA, you will love this.
Economics is like gravity, ignore it at you peril.
Of course. In Chicago, they’ll be even easier for smash-n-grabbers than privately owned markets.
Scene at the Southside Eddie’s Co-op Grocery…”The Place To Go For All You Want”.
Check-out clerk sees guy running for the door with two huge bags full of groceries: Sir, are you going to pay for those items?
Willie Grabbit: No, do ya think I’m crazy?
Check-out clerk: Oh that’s perfectly all right sir. We have to ask so we can account for it as a sale or a gift from the government. Don’t you worry ’bout a thing. You’re good.
Imagine if those were your neighbors in the fifteen minute city.
