The Daily Wire reports Walmart is closing four stores in Chicago, after closing their only two in Portland, OR. Meanwhile, Whole Foods is closing a store in San Francisco that had only been open a year. High crime rates, unpenalized shoplifting, and urban decay are all factors.
Meanwhile, Budweiser Light has shot itself in the foot with their trans spokesperson. And The Hill reports 2 million people left big U.S. cities in the period 2020-2022.
Do you begin to perceive a pattern in all of this? I believe I do. People who can get out are leaving cities, and so you get the sort of vote that just happened in Chicago’s vote for mayor - out of the frying pan and into the fire.
Eventually big cities will become no-go zones for police and anarchy will reign, rein, or rain, pick one. That eventuality may well be within the next decade.
Mad Max in the urban jungle, here we come.
