Local leaders in Chicago's Chatham neighborhood, located in the south side, held a press conference to demand the area's Walmart to not close down, going as far as to blame the company leaving the area is the reason they not are economically thriving.
"We have healthcare deserts. We have food deserts. And we wonder why! Our communities look like they look! That we have violence every single day! It is not just on us, it is on the corporate citizens that come into our community and ravage our community. And Walmart, you should absolutely be ashamed of yourselves. You are the reasons that our communities lack the investment that they have,"
We've destroyed your business, how dare you leave?

Sorry folks, you'll have to drive further to rip off another Wal Mart. Eventually, those stores will close too, then you may have to drive to Indiana or Iowa to get your freebies.

No surprise here. Gimmedats always blame anybody but themselves for their own behavior. It's how they "make" their living.

Look at Chicago's last mayor, look at who Chicago just elected. That is why you are not thriving. Elections have consequences.

These complainers can open a store in each empty Walmart.

Welp, it didn't take them long to start complaining about the 'deserts' they themselves created. Thankfully a business stood up and said no more. I hope there are more businesses doing that.

I think we can all be mindful of the fact that businesses are in the "business" of making money not funding social handout programs that extract money from businesses

Just imagine, Walmart hires some woke Ivy League wacko who comes up with the idea to continue the looting, only more organized. Walmart will load up grocery carts full of items from each department. The looters will just wait in line for their cart. No money involved, just bring back the cart. Once this innovative program gets rolling, there will be many nonprofits who will complain about the 'equity' of each cart. Legislation will be passed, and mandatory Cart Looting Equity Managers will be hired nationwide to 'spread the wealth.'

Walmart does not care about what the Chicago Democrats say or do as Walmart is going to be out of there!

What amazes me is that Walmart management allowed those stores to remain open all those years while losing millions. What in the world are they teaching in business school these days? It must not be business.

Apparently the only Chicagoans who are not criminals, not dependent on government, and sick of rampant crime, are the ones who leave.

With all the money BLM has coerced from business maybe they should take over a Walmart type store and have Colin kapernick manage it.

Puts me in mind of the defendant being sentenced by the judge for murdering his parents who pleaded for mercy because he was an orphan.

Too many criminals spoil the town.
Zero sympathy. Worthless, corrupt Dem mayors for 90+ years. This is 100% a Demonrat problem

Good lord. According to the residents it’s those evil WalMart executives that come into their neighborhoods and commit acts of violence. Until and unless the people recognize that civilized behavior begins in the home they are doomed. No business is going to stay around if they are being robbed every day.

Wal-Mart owes two groups something.
1) It owes its shoppers a safe shopping environment, and
2) It owes it stockholders to earn as high of a return on their investment (in the form of profits) as possible!!!
It owes nothing to cities that allow its lowest feral citizens to rob them blind to be "woke"!!!

OK, Woke Chicagoans!
Here's your chance!
'Green' that 'retail desert'!
Open your OWN stores!
Sell to your poor, 'underprivileged' population.
....and let us know in a year how it works out.
