Walmart, Target, Other Retailers Shutter Stores Due to Overwhelming Thefts
Breitbart ^ | 04/17/2023 | Paul Bois

Walmart, Target, Best Buy, and other mega-retailers have shuttered stores throughout the U.S. due to an overwhelming uptick in thefts.

As Breitbart News reported, reliable retail outlets have begun to make due on their pledge to close stores if crime continues to climb. Just last week, Walmart closed as many as four stores in crime-ridden Chicago.

“The simplest explanation is that collectively our Chicago stores have not been profitable since we opened the first one nearly 17 years ago,” Walmart said in a statement. “These stores lose tens of millions of dollars a year, and their annual losses nearly doubled in just the last five years.”

As reporter John Nolte put it, left-wing cities and states have made shoplifting nearly legal by letting such criminals off with barely a slap on the wrist:

One has to ask the question. if you have been losing money for the last 17 years why did you keep the store open?
If black voters want a food and commodity desert, give it to them ASAP!

The local WalMart now has a city cop at the front door 7 days a week. That started about three months ago, is when I noticed it.

I think the cops are moonlighting, with the city’s blessings of course.

These stores are businesses, and they are located in strategic positions to maximize their sales and profits, not to be “social equalization centers”. If they cannot make a decent return, then they must move to locations where they can. The ‘gangs’ in Chicago are acting like hyenas, who will attack fair game until there is nothing left. So, they have stripped the homeland of the ‘easy’ pray (and wounded pray). Let them start eating each other until all of the hyenas are gone. However, there has never been a greater opportunity for them to learn how to control their animal souls and seek God and help from their spiritual side.

Where will all these patrons of these store get their merchandise to sell at flea markets, garage sales and roadside thrift stores?? How many small businesses will go under if they don’t have stuff to steal to replenish their stock?

I don’t blame them. America has become a nation of thieving SOBs. A little gift we learned from the diversity taught to us by the border invaders.

These stores supported black lives matter and antifa, and they turned up their noses at moral folks like the Robertson from duck commander, and at Mike Lindell and such. Now they can embrace the results of their affiliations with the violent groups like antifa and radical blm.

That doesn’t mean they necessarily get paid for. They
may put them in their pocket, purse, etc. and walk on
out after checking/paying for a few items. You wearing
a cap/hat then some small things can go there.

I watched the movie “Tetris” last night, which took place in the waning days of the Soviet Union.

We are starting to resemble how the Soviet Union was in those final years, all the politicians are just trying to get what they can before the inevitable collapse.
