I thought San Francisco was the most libtarded.

I'll be 65 in June, I'm one of the "expendable" ones.

Yes. Allowing all of those deemed useless eaters to die will be one of the ways to allow for care of the "more deserving".

I figure when Øbozo gets his beloved DeathScare^TM made law, when Miss Emily or I need more care that we are worth, we'll get shipped to the Euthanasia Center, err, Happy Carefree Old Folks Retirement Home, and have our organs harvested to keep the younger Drones, err, productive citizens, going...

Here is the article No More Supermarkets?: Major Grocers Flee Detroit

Great article. Thanks for the link!

The last line really stood out to me:

"Here we are, trying to revitalize the waterfront and make this city whole again, but people who live here can't even find something decent to eat. Where's the justice in that?"

And that, folks, is where it's at. This is exactly what the Spanish philosopher Jose Ortega y Gassett had in mind when he wrote The Revolt of the Masses. The world has become so complex for this person that she can't figure out the "injustice" of why there's no food for her at a high-quality grocery store within walking distance.

Another great link there. Thanks!

Time to try to bring this thread to the active list.

Market forces will out. If it is not worth being there, no one will be there. It’s an economic desert.
