‘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.

#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.

#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.

#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!

#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'.

#5 Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.

#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.

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

#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.
