After the recent riots which saw multiple large stores looted, some retailers are having second thoughts about remaining in certain cities.

In Chicago, Mayor Lori Lightfoot has been talking to these retailers and asking them not to leave the city.

Not only do these companies make it possible for residents to get the things they need, they pay tons of taxes which the city relies on.

Mayor Lightfoot said she’s hopeful major retailers will reopen the Chicago stores that were looted or otherwise damaged during protests surrounding George Floyd’s killing by police in Minnesota. But, she’s unsure of one of the biggest.

Mayor Lightfoot said she was on a conference call with Walmart and other major retailers that had stores looted or heavily damaged during the unrest in Chicago. She said she pleaded with them to not abandon Chicago.

“I think in the case of Walmart, what they were focused on was assessing the damage. They are doing an effort to donate fresh produce, to the extent of what’s left so it doesn’t perish, and other perishables, and they are taking their time, as I would expect.”

Who can blame these companies if they leave the cities?

The same thing is happening in Minneapolis:

A manufacturing company that has been in Minneapolis since 1987 has decided to leave the city.

The company’s owner said he can’t trust public officials who allowed his plant to burn during the recent riots: “They don’t care about my business.”

The cities hit by riots will be damaged by it for a long time.

Well now, it seems the "Useful Idiots" aka: pawns of the Revolutionary Marxists, have created their own 'hunger games'.

Obviously they didn't understand what cops can and can not do, and apparently aren't mature enough to grasp, that there consequences to their own actions.

No one is coming Atlanta to save you from yourselves. No one has to. Your city, your state, your problem.

What's your point? Is it "no big deal" if a business is looted? You must be one of the looters!!!

Of course they have insurance...But, their rates go up when they make claims just as anyone’s would...

Sometimes, the risk of staying in a location that benefits those who need it...outweigh the risk of further loss by those who can not play nice.

You know so little about free enterprise. Businesses will stay if there is money to make; leave if they can't make money. Anyone who has bought a house knows the axiom: Location; Location; Location.
