Democrats have long lamented the “food deserts” in poor urban areas.
But now their unhinged policies are wreaking havoc on entire metro areas.
And George Soros’ allies are about to force this essential business out of blue states.
Leftist billionaire George Soros has spent years, and a fortune, funding a complete overhaul of the United States’ justice system—and the ripple effect from that agenda’s implementation could be devastating for numerous communities.
According to political watchers, Soros’ “criminal justice reform” efforts to implement his agenda have been wildly successful.
George Soros has quietly orchestrated the dark money political equivalent of ‘shock and awe,’ on local attorney races through the country, shattering records, flipping races and essentially making a mockery of our entire campaign finance system,” said Tom Anderson, director of the Government Integrity Project at the National Legal and Policy Center in Virginia told the New York Post back in December of 2021.
Fast forward a year and a half and the pro-crime policies that Soros’ foot soldiers have been implementing are wreaking havoc in blue state communities.
Now one major grocery store chain is struggling to stay in business.
Giant Foods has a total of 165 stores in Washington, D.C., Maryland, Virginia, and Delaware—and is now locked in a survival battle as escalating theft and violence makes it increasingly difficult to do business in those areas.
According to an article in the Washington Post, the grocery store chain has been forced to hire security guards, reduced the number of entrances/exits available to customers, hire security guards, and even put alarms on razor blade packages.
10X crime increase at Giant
At this point, company president Ira Kres told the news outlet the goal is merely to keep the stores open despite the skyrocketing crime rates.
“The alternative is worse for customers,” Kress explained. “The last thing I want to do is close stores. But I’ve got to be able to run them safely and profitably.”
Criminal activity inside the stores has increased, he claimed by “tenfold in the last five years.”
And the retail industry veteran says fighting back against criminal elements has become more dangerous as well.
“We used to chase shoplifters,” Kress said, “and you’d get the product back, and nobody would ever fight you. … I didn’t worry about somebody pulling a knife or gun on me [40] years ago,” he concluded.
Few chase shoplifters anymore
Now, with the rule of law being ignored by the people hired to enforce it across numerous jurisdictions, criminals know they can get away with almost anything.
And average law-abiding Americans are just beginning to suffer from the ramifications of the Left’s refusal to maintain law and order.
