People have no idea of the expenses that must be paid for running a business, even before paying employees. Even the business is losing money and must close, the city could pay the expenses and salaries for 6 months to keep the stores open.
San Francisco bill would let people sue grocery stores for closing too quickly

Major grocery stores in California aren’t losing money, they’re pulling record profits. I imagine that some of the smaller corner markets could be hurting, but the major stores are an outright cartel that are swimming in money.

I am against the mergers that keep happening in the industry. I would like to see more mergers across the board blocked. Sprint/T-mobile should have never happened. The new Albertsons merger should not happen. There is a point where the company is just to large for a startup to compete.

Lol what damages are they suing for? To give the grocery store their money?
This is a weird law…

Creating a food desert where they live I guess.

It’s a liberal law. So tell me why they should be able to sue ? It’s your peeps who created the law

San Fran laws often strike me as bug fuck nuts. OTOH, this is like so many of the articles we see that have liberals freaking out. It’s a proposal, nothing has happened, nothing probably will.
LOL, I’ll eat crow if they do manage to pass it!

San Francisco is an interesting town. I used to love it but have not been back in a long time.
I would go down occasionally to work with the SWAT team.
It will most likely pass, but I can’t see any of the courts supporting this law. It isn’t the grocery store’s job to find a replacement. The problem is the city is letting itself fall apart. I only know what I heard from my friends but they have said it’s just disgusting now. Most of their jobs moved WFH or to another city to get away from it.

San Francisco was a beautiful city. I haven’t been back in 13 years, but what I’ve heard about it from friends who have been, is quite heartbreaking. My wife and I definitely left our hearts in San Francisco many years ago, and it’s terrible reading about what a slum major parts of the city have become. The big city problems used to be limited to the Tenderloin District and a few other spots that everyone knew to stay away from, but it sounds like the whole city is dangerous and dirty now. I’m not just talking about stuff I’ve read online either. I have a close friend who goes to probably 20 Giants games every year, and he said that it’s nothing like the city I remember.
