🚨 Seattle’s new mayor Katie Wilson: "We will not allow grocery chains to close stores at will" “Access to affordable, healthy food is a basic right. We cannot allow giant grocery chains to stomp all over our communities, close stores at will, and leave behind food deserts. Together we can build a Seattle where fresh food is for everyone, not just for those who can afford it. Food deserts are not natural. Corporations create them when they abandon our communities.As mayor, I'm excited to step up and with UFCW explore public option grocery stores to fill those gaps.”Hodgetwins reaction:“When I hear food desert, I immediately know who lives there and why the store closed.” “If a corporation ran grocery store can’t turn a profit, there is no way the government ran version will turn a profit either. The store will just be a drain on the taxpayer until it goes into bankruptcy and then they will blame it all on racism again”
