Woke retailers like Amazon (H/T Vox Day) and Walmart, companies whose executive leadership supports the current Clown World antics of organizations like AntiFa and BLM, finally are feeling the bites of their pet feral animals’ behavior and are doing the only thing economically possible: closing down operations in those urban areas where the animals run amok.
Of course they’re too hypocritical and cowardly to admit the real reasons for the closures. That would shred their proggie cred, which they value far more than the loyalty and money of the paying customers who keep them in business. For this reason they’re adopting the line that the closures are due not to losses caused by their pet feral animals’ thefts and vandalism of their stores, but to “strategic cost cutting measures.” Riiiiiiight.
One of the most infuriating things about woke proggies is how stupid they think the rest of us are. In fact, the textbook definition of “stupid” is to subsidize and encourage criminal behavior while assuming that it won’t come back to bite you hard in the ass. Apparently they think that either their woke government stooges will bail them out once damages get out of hand, or that they can “buy off” the feral animals with public pledges of solidarity with their cause. Both strategies appear to have failed, hence they’re now faced with having to actually eat their own losses.
Quite frankly, I hope the cities that these companies are attempting to flee hit them hard with some kind of new Marxist-Prog penalty like a “corporate abandonment tax” or “exit tax.” Let them suffer lasting wounds from their shortsightedness and cowardice.
Hear, hear!

Good stuff, and I agree. They wanted it, so let’s let ’em enjoy it, good and hard.

The thing is “they” are neither hypocritical nor cowardly. These organizations are commie arms of the State, pure and simple, they just don’t have the official government seal. Even if they started out as private ventures, they’ve long been converged to become arms of State machinery. They close down the “business” because they can. Who cares if their stores are looted, it is all with the blessing of the State. Their lifestyle is funded by taxpayers’ money. No “corporate bigwig” (read Party Commissar) is going to suffer for this. If at all any cost cutting is done it will be the unwittingly lowly prole workers who get the boot.
