'The Democratic Party’s idea of what America should look like is Chicago. That is appealing if you want fewer stores open and more criminals on the streets making new victims.' -ZacharyFaria
Walmart announced that it is closing four stores in Chicago, leaving only four remaining. The four closing stores are among a group of locations that “lose tens of millions of dollars a year,” and Walmart says that its Chicago locations as a group “have not been profitable since we opened the first one nearly 17 years ago.”The most telling part is that, according to Walmart, “these stores lose tens of millions of dollars a year, and their annual losses nearly doubled in just the last five years.
This also overlaps with the tenure of state’s attorney Kim Foxx, who oversees prosecutions in Cook County, Illinois, which includes Chicago. Foxx was elected in 2016 and is one of the many soft-on-crime prosecutors whose campaigns were funded by liberal billionaire megadonor George Soros. Of course, this means that Foxx does not like to prosecute criminals, leaving them free to steal from residents with no fear, because the worst they will get is a slap on the wrist.
Chicago, which is associated with crime more than any other city in the country, has only become more crime-ridden under Foxx’s tenure. Combine that with a soft-on-crime mayor in Lori Lightfoot and a new, even softer-on-crime mayor-to-be in Brandon Johnson, and it isn’t hard to see why crime in Chicago is spiraling out of control and businesses such as Walmart are shutting down locations.Naturally, this is the city that Democrats decided should launch their 2024 campaign cycle.
There’s no telling how much worse Chicago can become between now and August 2024, given that Johnson is still a month away from taking office. Johnson, for reference, has blamed Chicago's violent crime on residents' anger over low effective corporate tax rates. The Democratic Party’s idea of what America should look like is Chicago. That is appealing if you want fewer stores open and more criminals on the streets making new victims.
