| ‘Food Deserts’ Rise In Democrat Run Cities As Grocers Leave In Droves"- Crime rates rely on reports and arrests. If leftist officials are making policies which discourage arrests and reporting, then crime rates go down – It's like magic. |

| [ZeroHedge] Due to changes in the way data is being collated by the FBI during the covid years, many major cities are not actually required to provide full crime rate information until 2024-2025, and quite a few are taking advantage (at least 30%). San Francisco will not be reporting complete crime stats until 2025. This means that when Democrats argue that crime is going down (ostensibly because of their leadership), this is based on a false and incomplete picture of the data. Lack of data, as mentioned, is also coupled with lack of arrests, lack of prosecution, and the consistent release of repeat offenders in blue cities. Lack of arrests and convictions does not mean there's less crime. Again, using San Francisco as an example, the police department's closure rate on cases remains dismal because the city's District Attorney refused to prosecute; for every 100 suspects arrested, three are charged and one is convicted. Until he was recalled in a July 8, 2022, election, San Francisco’s DA was Soros-backed radical leftist Chesa Boudin. The Soros connection is widely considered one of the prime indicators of crooked DA's and prosecutors, as well as high crime rates for a city. Soros DAs run several other major prosecutorial offices, including Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, Austin, Dallas, San Antonio, St. Louis, New York, Baltimore, Albuquerque, Orlando, and three urban counties in Northern Virginia. In Massachusetts, Soros-backed federal prosecutor Rachael Rollins was forced to resign after the Department of Justice’s Office of the Inspector General and the Office of Special Counsel released devastating reports outlining her serious ethical lapses and partisan political activity. It's not surprising that wherever Soros influenced DAs and prosecutors run things, food deserts seem to follow. Once this dynamic of corruption is understood, it becomes clear why so many grocers and retailers are uprooting their stores and leaving. It's no longer profitable to stay because Democrat city governments have chosen criminals over businesses. |

| #10 They don't look underfed coming over the border. Once they get here, they (especially the women) put on weight quick. Food deserts are not their problem. |

| #9 Ref # 5 above, I'm confident that the 10 million illegal importations have little experience or respect for traditional American culture. |

| #6 The scam of not arresting anyone or charging anyone lowers your online stats, but folks on the streets know what the real crime statistics are. |

| #4 ...that was under a Christian nation and society, regardless of its contradictions, hypocrisies, and application as an exception, it generally worked. Notice what happened when the godless Marxists took over and made themselves 'god'. |

| #3 Hoggly Woggly, I mean Pigglt Wiggly, was the first grocery store where shoppers filled their carts and went to a check-out. Piggly Wiggly®, America’s first true self-service grocery store, was founded in Memphis, Tennessee in 1916 by Clarence Saunders. In grocery stores of that time, shoppers presented their orders to clerks who then gathered the goods from the store shelves. Saunders, a dynamic and innovative man, noticed that this method resulted in wasted time and expense, so he came up with an unheard-of solution that would revolutionize the entire grocery industry: he developed a way for shoppers to serve themselves. Despite predictions that his novel idea would fail, Saunders’ first store opened on September 6, 1916 at 79 Jefferson Street in Memphis. Operating under the unusual name ‘Piggly Wiggly®’, it was unlike any other contemporary grocery store. There were shopping baskets, open shelves, and no clerks to shop for the customer – all of which were previously unheard of! |

| #2 When I lived in Cleveland, the state-run liquor store worked that way. You found what you wanted in a glassed-in display and used a golf pencil to write product number, price, quantity and total on a pad and handed it to a nice state employee who didn't give a sh*t. I used to routinely buy a half gallon of Wild Turkey 101 for $7.98. Because that's what I wrote on the pad. Not once did an employee call me out on it. In 4 years. |

| #1 Back in the 19th Century you didn't wander the store. Everything was behind the counter and you told the employee what you wanted. The order was put together for you much as you see today with 'order fulfillment' people in stores. You paid and received your order without leaving the entry of the store. |
