Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is displaying his socialist credentials by announcing a plan to potentially open city-owned grocery stores in Chicago’s “food deserts” following the closure of several major retailers.
Essentially, Johnson is proposing Soviet-style central planning. But what could go wrong?
Aside from Chicago’s well-known issues with corruption and fiscal mismanagement, the closure of these stores may be attributed to a significant rise in robbery and theft, which has increased by 32% this year.
This rise in crime can be traced back to problematic city and state policies around policing, including the abolition of cash bail, and a pro-crime “prosecutor” supported by George Soros. These policies have contributed to a 29% increase in crime across all categories this year.
