look to the data, city vs burbs.

money flows.

business formation

relative growth in real estate prices

school scores

people vote with their feet.


impact will manifest in these types of variables.

anecdotally, YOLO. My kids and wife come first.

Yeah, the imminent closure of the Brooklyn Center Walmart is just another example how awesome the Defund the Police movement has been towards promoting the recovery of Minneapolis and its suburbs.

This is common for stores to close in many other areas of the US that have a very high theft rate as well.

I just read today that Cracker Barrell is closing all their restaurants in Portland for the same reasons. You know Portland, the Oregon sister city to Minneapolis.

Cracker Barrel statement cites the pandemic ...

"As a standard course of business, we continually evaluate the performance of our stores, using various criteria to ensure we are meeting the needs of our guests and our business," the company said. "With that, we are saddened that we have been unable to overcome the impact the pandemic had on our business and have made the difficult decision to close the Beaverton, Tualatin, and Bend locations. The decision to close a store is never one we take lightly, and our focus right now is in assisting our impacted employees during this transition."

Is it 2020 still? What "Defund the Police" movement? That never happened.

Oh I see, "That was so 2020", is it?

Seems like it was still an issue just last October.

https://www.dailysignal.com/2022/10/...-new-officers/

And it was an issue in the November 2022 elections.

The Defund the Police movement, which occurred at riot speed, still has long lasting impacts.

And the Minnesota Freedom Fund is still active, getting criminals bailed out so that they can commit more crimes.

Here's how the nonsense goes:

Walmart announces that it will close a dozen stores. The usual suspects go hysterical over the ones located in place where they can pin the closing (in the absence of any actual evidence thereof) on one or another of their favorite boogeymen. But the store closings on places like Arkansas and Florida and Indiana and Texas? Nothing to see there!

Laughably predictable.
