Because the Gateway Pundit reported yesterday, Kroger is closing a number of supermarkets in Washington state resulting from crime, principally shoplifting.
It’s a well-known undeniable fact that grocery shops function on an especially slim revenue margin, so even a small quantity of theft can have a devastating impact on an organization’s backside line.

Pramila Jayapal of Washington clearly doesn’t perceive this, or is solely attempting to spin the difficulty for the good thing about her followers on the left, as a result of as an alternative of recognizing that her social gathering’s lax method to crime is accountable, she is blaming company greed.

Maybe if the liberal leaders in Washington prosecuted thieves, these closures wouldn’t be occurring. Additionally, Jayapal doesn’t appear to grasp that Kroger has an obligation to its shareholders.
Folks responded to her on Twitter/X:
Democrats deal with theft like a joke and Seattle has a minimal wage of over $20 per hour. Now, you are appearing like they’re wronging you by closing up shops your insurance policies made unprofitable? Why do not you liberals ever blame yourselves for the results of your insurance policies?

Possibly if these cities would arrest and convict shoplifters, they wouldn’t shut. Crime is unhealthy for enterprise
