Manage episode 519869144 series 2792715
Welcome to progressive paradise, where grocery stores get stabbed for defending pastries and mayors issue executive orders after businesses flee! We're witnessing the creation of food deserts in real time as Portland and Seattle's brilliant leadership watches stores close due to rampant crime, shoplifting, and employee safety concerns. This Grocery Outlet owner is literally getting knifed over $8 bottles of wine while losing $3,500 weekly just in stolen shopping carts – but hey, at least they're "Trump-proofing" the city, right?We break down how defund-the-police policies, decriminalized drugs, and catch-and-release justice create the perfect storm that drives businesses out of neighborhoods that desperately need them. From Portland's Park Rose to Seattle's Lake City, the pattern is identical: progressive policies create chaos, businesses flee, and then politicians act shocked about "food deserts."Is anyone surprised that Oregon ranks 4th nationally in retail theft? What did they think would happen when criminals face zero consequences? How long before your neighborhood grocery store throws in the towel?
