  1. I hope this is not a surprise. This was tried in the 1970s and they all failed then too. The only remnant is Whole Foods who started their chain by buying up the failed "Co-ops". The "Co-ops" were independent socialist grocery stores that were run by their customers. They were dirty, poorly stocked, and prices were subsidized by supporters. The advantage of the government run ones is that they will have money as long as taxpayers do not mind paying higher taxes.

  2. Wow, and these people couldn't see the end result? It happens over and over again. They had warnings from day one. Why are they in this spot?

    High crime that they refuse to prosecte.

    The people have no respect for others or themselves. The key is a strong family unit with a classic education and regular exposure to positive influences such as a peaceful religion.

    Once these things happen, people and companies will invest in an area. That creates jobs, which in turn creates independence and prosperity.

  3. Well…they will try something else out of Stalins, Mao or Pol Port handbook. Maybe next time…failure will mean getting put against the wall. And…the lunatic leftist libs…will still cry for more.
