Chicago Considers City-Owned Grocery Stores To Replace Those Which Closed Because Of Crime
We rate this as highly unlikely.
Mainly because we cannot conceive of any government sitting still for deliberately creating an opportunity for you to steal from them, instead of the other way around.
The Chicongo government would suffer no NET theft. First they tax (steal) to get the groceries. Then, 90% of it is stolen, but 10% gets paid for by a small minority of honest people. If it's ALL stolen, Da Gub'mint breaks even; any little bit that's bought is gravy.

ReplyDeleteDo you think that those idiots could pass up an opportunity to lose money while providing .gov paid union jobs to their new best friends, the illegal invaders, and their old friends, the diverse "yoots", while overcharging those few who would actually pay for groceries from their stores?

This looks like an excuse to give money to a liberal NGO more than a real project..

ReplyDeleteIt is another method of stealing monies from the taxpayers for those who drive the Machine.
