    Instead of pushing neighborhood empowerment, The Chi and many other cities bet on the corporate model. Is this a form of racism?

    It’s a good thing if you ask me, Walmart kills any business next to it by undercutting it in price. The problem here is a bunch of Black people hoping their oppressor feeds them.

    A look inside the Walmart turned immigration detention center for children

    Journalists were given a tour of a facility for undocumented children.
    abcnews.go.com


    Just in case people think it's BS they've been turning walmarts into detention centers since 2018 detaining immigrants and their children.......at some point they'll use them for American citizens..... Walmart has a deal in place with FEMA if I'm not mistaken. Just br aware.

    Companies, sports teams, all manner of people been playing city mayors for decades. Whether is Walmart, Amazon or a major car maker, they tell all the cities, we want to build a plant, distribution center, whatever and have cities compete to give them all kinds of tax abatements, land, etc just to land it.

    The mayor and city council lie about the number of jobs it will bring to the city and what always ends up is the company basically stays there for free or d@mn near free and just when any lease is up it threatens to leave unless renewed at an even better deal. And eventually they lay off people, in jobs where the deal is they can't unionize. And move the jobs overseas eventually.

    Pro football and the NBA have been effing over cities for decades. American cities don't feel like they are a top tier city without a pro franchise. Number one at the top of the list is an NFL franchise. Only 30 cities can get one and they compete for what they think is the 'clout' chasing of having one. These owners are businessmen and the mayors with no real back ground in economics and business almost always gets taken to the cleaners with what they have to give up and like Baltimore with the Colts and St. Louis with the Rams as well as several others these teams eventually eff them over.

    And in all these the taxpayers have paid for it all. Hundreds of millions into the billions.

    Shelves are nearly empty all the time anyway. Already knew it was coming. If you don't know how to grow your own food, you'd better get busy!

    Don’t take this lightly. It’s about to get rough if the moves China and ‘em is making start to pan out. Going to start having rolling blackouts like Africa.

    Big box stores are going to close anywhere where there is unchecked crime. I can't fault them for that but this provides an opportunity for smaller shops to take back their space, especially in black areas. Black business owners can step up. Just have to be prepared for thugs thinking they can walk in and rob the place.

    But that is surface level. What they don't tell you is WHY they aren't stopping the crime and WHY they are allowing it to the point where Walmart, CVS, Walgreens, Target, etc. are getting shut down in cities. They want to run the cities into the ground and they want people to be killing each other. Once they get 70% of the people out the way, they will start to buy up all the properties and set up camps and "affordable housing" but in reality, these will just be 15 minute cities.

    Look up the 15 minute city agenda. They want us living in 200 sq ft apartments stacks on top of each other. Their climate agenda is a farce and nothing more than a way to remove freedom and power from people. I still say the vax was a test.

    We all see the signs but are we prepared for the outcome. The next phase is the Restrict Act which will disproportionately affect black people. On top of all of that, railroad derailments, factory explosions, farm animals murdered, excess gun violence etc etc etc etc! It's a quiet storm brewing into a level 5 tornado!

    The vax was a test. They want us living in 200 sq feet apartments so they can easily control us. Everything we want will be within a close proximity, but it will be controlled by them or one of the Black/White/Mexican/Asian/Arab/etc flunkies who is secretly on their side.

    Where I live at in Mississippi, the shelves are not nearly empty. At none of the main stores. They are almost always stocked fully. When Dollar Stores, Walmart or grocery stores sell a lot within a day, the next day that space is replenished. I wonder is certain areas of Mississippi one of the places they want us to be at which is why other places have nearly empty shelves.

    Yep. They seem to fit very nicely. Internment camps going in Walmarts. That's why Walmart was created in the first place. Same thing as shopping malls.

    It’s a good thing if you ask me, Walmart kills any business next to it by undercutting it in price. The problem here is a bunch of Black people hoping their oppressor feeds them.

    Which is pure idiocy. My father has this ridiculous mindset that the US military will swing into action to help the people. Bwahahahahahahaha.

    Regarding Walmart, that has been their plan. Same with Sams Club, Costco and BJs.

    Instead of pushing neighborhood empowerment, The Chi and many other cities bet on the corporate model. Is this a form of racism?

    It is. Many people do not see it that way though.

    The vax was a test. They want us living in 200 sq feet apartments so they can easily control us. Everything we want will be within a close proximity, but it will be controlled by them or one of the Black/White/Mexican/Asian/Arab/etc flunkies who is secretly on their side.

    It will be like Hitler all over again but the people that take this Hitler power grab's side will likely be favored. Still will be used but they will be able to have a 400 sq ft apartment. People need to wake up. They are pushing us. Look at all the nonsense with the bugs and the push to trans kids. What happens when you trans a kid? THEY CANNOT REPRODUCE.
