The controversy burst into flames after Walmart announced on short notice that it was immediately closing four unprofitable stores located in crime-ridden Chicago. City officials, including lame-duck mayor Lori Lightfoot, bleated like sheared sheep, said it was all Walmartâs fault, not theirs, no, never, and accused the for-profit retailer of a lack of charitable instincts.
Local resident Regina Dickey, 38, told a Sun-Times reporter she regularly shopped at the Kenwood Walmart. Regina doesnât think closing the story is fair. âItâs like they didnât even give a thought to the people in these communities,â she complained bitterly.
Regina had no complaints about city governance, apparently, which is why she probably voted for incoming marxist mayor Brandon Johnson, who will surely make things worse, I mean better. Or something.
âUnceremoniously abandoning these neighborhoods will create barriers to basic needs for thousands of residents,â soon-to-be Former-Mayor Lightfoot said in a statement. âWalmart also needs to ensure that our residents in these communities that have been left behind will continue to have a reliable source for their everyday necessities.â
Makes sense. WALMART â not the City â needs to make sure that residents live in an environment that provides a reliable source of everyday necessities. Okay, then whatâs the GOVERNMENT for? And, will they let Walmart manage the police and set the zoning regulations?
Maybe â and Iâm just spitballing here â maybe the CITY OF CHICAGO needs to make sure that retailers can operate without being robbed blind by criminals that will be released the same day theyâre arrested. But what do I know, Iâm just a lawyer, not a mayor.
