"Yep" "So if a business doesn't think it'll make money by placing a store at a certain location, they shouldn't do that, right?" "Yep" "So if all the stores decide to not sell in a certain place, the citizens in that place will be lacking those stores, right?" "Makes sense to me." "So, in order to help those citizens, the government is going to provide the services that the businesses refuse to do. Citizens get the services they need that the market logically will not fulfill." "THAT"S COMMUNISM AND BAD!"

      @ShardDesu so the oil companies just decided to become greedy under Biden right? They weren't greedy before only now. A barrel of oil was trading negative in April 2020. Now it's around 100 dollars. Maybe if we didn't rely heavily on foreign oil we wouldn't be allowing Saudi Arabia to control production. Big pharma has made way more than big oil. The biggest transfer of wealth has occurred the last 2 years . Blackrock and Vanguard control over 80 percent of all assets. Since the Democrats hate big oil, they sure aren't doing a whole lot to prevent big oil from making a killing. First thing they need to do is get us back to being a major oil exporter like we were under Trump. Everytbing was better under Trump. Gas, food costs, rent , housing. It's almost as if they want us to own nothing and be happy.

      Yeah I worked part time in my local supermarket in the smaller town I was living in at the time. And this was during the beginning of the pandemic until September when I got a different job. It was the only supermarket in about a 20 mile radius. It was consistently busy. And due to the supply chain, we were only getting limited shipments of everything, so people would be coming in to get what they could. We also had people come from around the state(New Hampshire) because their stores had similar supply issues.
      Them saying the stores were hurt is totally ridiculous. You’re totally correct.

      Conservative logic: when things go well, it’s thanks to the market, when things go badly, it’s the fault of policies. They are perfectly ready to believe the space logic that policy causes crime, which causes the market to fail, but will never pause to consider the much more simple explanation that market failures cause crime. The market can never fail. The market can only be failed.

    It's crazy because Tim Pool thinks that all solutions to this problem are bad and communist, whether its govt owned stores, or programs establishing cost limits, or even forcing stores to operate. It seems that his solution is that the community deserves to suffer because they are poor

    • @grantduke318
      @grantduke318 11 месяцев назад

      But the problem that exist is manufactured by the ones you think that are going to solve it. Dem policies within Chicago haven't addressed the rampant crime. Charges get dropped, or get a slap on the wrist, and the criminals are back at it. Yes, Tim used a bad example from Cali in his video, but it only takes a short google search to find information on organized retail theft in Chicago. His solution is to let the community suffer that keeps voting in bad government, and rightfully so.
      The largest problem in this matter is the lack of accountability.. and the "solution" you and many others in this comment section are advocating for is less accountability. Surely whoever runs the state owned grocery store won't care about theft, because it isn't their money being lost, they'll just borrow more from the tax payers. You can see how this is a losing strategy, no? We need better governance in addressing problems where they start, not creating solutions to problems they created in the first place.

In this line of thinking, if the government keeps the food on their table, then these people will be a lot less likely to hold the government accountable when the government acts in corrupt ways or puts out really bad legislation.

    Food deserts in large cities exist because grocery stores in poverty stricken urban areas aren't profitable.
    So a government run not-for-profit store would seem to be a good solution to the problem.
    I was a manager for a large grocery store chain and the fact is crime does in fact hurt your margins. Organized retail crime rings will wipe out an entire shelf of things like baby formula, laundry detergent, meat counters, liquor ect all the time.
    Having those low margin items stolen constantly at large quantities can absolutely kill you margins. When you're running a store with a 5% margin and you shrink out 5% of your inventory every year than yes, you get closed down by corporate.

    Nowadays, the inflation of grocery prices are other markets following a Whole Foods model of 30-40% mark-up, none of which sees the employees or customers.

    Wait just a moment here. Beanie Boy here is only one year younger than myself; he's 37. Any childhood memories he would have of the grocery store would have been in the late 80's and early 90's. Now, I may be rather abnormal, but as a kid, I was FASCINATED by grocery stores and every aspect of their operation. If there had been unbranded cans in grocery stores at the time, I would have noticed it. There were no unbranded cans in grocery stores at the time. Store brands and cheap off-brands were very much a thing even back then. There WERE, and still ARE, however, unbranded items that get sent to local food banks and charities.
    I don't think Tim's remembering a grocery store at all. I think his family went to a local food bank.
