The Retail Crime-Closure Cycle: Another Democrat Debacle

link

   The left lives in an alternate reality forged in their echo chamber. They advocate some of the most insane policies ever conceived. To make matters worse, they refuse to acknowledge the adverse consequences of the policies. Then, of course, they engage THE NARRATIVE(tm) to explain away their failures.

   In this case, what happens is: Dem "depolicing"/"decarceration" (i.e.: anarchophiliac) policies result in the failure of inner-city jurisdictions to enforce the law. In particular: shoplifting laws. These areas are already subject to higher crime rates--for reasons the left refuses to acknowledge. Businesses like Walgreens begin losing money hand over fist. Eventually they close. It's a business decision. Leftists/Democrats are committed to anarchophilia and especially don't want to enforce the laws in these places as they'll end up arresting mostly blacks. When businesses close, they engage their conspiracy-theory engines, which spit out: in-principle corporate hatred of blacks... So their policies actually end up mostly harming the very race they are near-religiously devoted to promoting.
