Chicago Considers City-Run Grocers

Guest Post by Martin Armstrong

Crime in Chicago has sent businesses fleeing. Four Walmart grocers recently closed, creating what many would call a food desert. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson absolutely refuses to address the real problem. Johnson and the Economic Security Project are now considering city-run grocery stores that will burden law-abiding taxpayers who will need to subsidize these grocers.

No one working in the Chicago city government knows how to manage money. Their heads are so far up their asses that they cannot see the real problem – light on crime policies and a culture that romanticizes crime. This is another opportunity for local government to get guaranteed income from taxpayers even if the stores operate at a loss. And they will operate at a loss since theft is practically legal. The globalists will have an easier time turning Chicago into a 15-minute city since the city government will already have control over the food supply.

The Chicago Police Department states crime spiked 25% in the past year, with theft rising 11%. These are simply the people they caught since it is common practice for criminals to run into stores, grab everything they can hold, and simply leave. Security is not permitted to chase after the criminals and there is no penalty depending on the value of the goods stolen. Both customers and employees have been hurt or killed by these criminals who have no regard for human life. A spokesperson for Walmart told the NY Post that their stores in Chicago have not been profitable for 17 years. No businesses will want to continue operating in Chicago at this rate. Will the city government take over every area too?

Let the people start a co-op and work together to create a community. No one is holding their neighbors responsible and the good people are the ones who suffer. The remaining businesses and smart money will leave the city if crime and taxes continue to rise. There must be actual penalties for theft to deter criminals, or the city will continue to deteriorate. Make crime illegal again.

Just another part of smart cities, Agenda 2030, social credit, mark of the beast.

Allow the two-legged locusts to run rampant, wreck the area, invite Blackrock in to own it under corporate-statism, as Mussolini called fascism, and hook up all the smart meters. Then, hit the 5G pulses to tear the aerogel sheathing off the Marburg bioweapon in the Pfizer micro-bullet, and voila, streets and elevators and subways filled with writhing dying people with blood squirting out of their eyes, ears, mouths, and asses.

Then, martial/medical law. Forcible quarantine, forced vaxecution, then more pulsed vax activation. The exterminator’s second visit. 95% cull of humanity; inescapable (except by merciful death) techno-Panopticon for the unlucky remaining 5% – the serfiest serfs ever in history. No escape. Full-spectrum dominance. The fever dream of the psychopath finally made manifest.

Recall the Monty Python skit where Hitler was hiding out in Britain and ran for office. He changed his name to Hilter and called his movement National Bocialism and talked about Boncentration Bamps etc.
We surely have more than enough fumb duckers in places like Shitcago to do the most idiotic things imaginable.

Not so much voter fraud, as it was all the other loser candidates (spics & niggers) playing the race card, and backing Brandon.

Because, we all know how efficient government is. Having government run grocery stores will at some point, ensure the starvation of the people who rely on them….

So we are going to depend on the government to feed everyone in Chi town. Hmmm is that not how the USSR did it? Sounds like overwhelming the system with crime is working for the commies.

absolutely nothing will render chicongo civil. to do so requires a population that wants civility. it is obvious the majority like it just as it is, or there would be change.

Certainly if Chicago residents and patrons of the city’s government run food stores must be masked, vaxxed and stay up-to-date with boosters, then AUntie is ALL FOR IT. Throw in a vaxx passport or RFID chip for the shoppers just for good measure. Let’s go Brandon and FJB.

It would be more cost effective if the city of shitcago mailed all the gib-me-dats a weekly 1/2 ton box of fried chicken than it would be for the city to own/run grocery stores.

There still are nice areas in Chicago. I have family that lives there still. It was always the home of Demonrats. Daley policies turned the city into the libtard haven it is today.

The first Mayor Daily, not the kid. Daily kept the city clean because he was so corrupt he didn’t want any investigations. The difference today is the politicians are just stupid.

The niggers running them will steal and sell everything before it ever gets put on a shelf in the store.

I suppose the only thing to do is buy that food from them, at some small percentage of the cost.

That’s why there’s a Walgreen’s in the South Loop, that has almost all of their items out of sight and secured, and an employee will fulfill the order for patrons.
