Comment on San Francisco bill would let people sue grocery stores for closing too quickly
BobaFuttbucker@reddthat.com 7 months agoOk so you admit you’re conflating them doing literally anything to prevent the population from not knowing where they’re going to get their food, after years of eliminating their competition (thereby creating the problem in the first place), with “funding”. Now that I understand your use of the word better, then yeah I don’t see a problem. Once again, the corporations actions have brought the city to this point, so it’s only fair they at least have a partial involvement in improving the situation.
Holding a corporation accountable for the damage they’ve done to a community isn’t fascism, it’s exactly the kind of law government is supposed to enact to improve the lives of the people.
Fascism, according to the dictionary, is:
An authoritarian and nationalistic right-wing system of government and social organization.
Interesting you chose that word, almost like a form of projection.

If the city didn’t allow crime on the level to force the business out, the business would not leave.
It is weird you blame the corporation for not wanting their employees to be harmed at work.
Yes, it is authoritarian to force a company to do the job the government should be doing. This would never hold up in court.

Wait, is the reason profitability, or crime levels? You’ve cited both here as the reason. Which is it, and can you provide proof?
Now it’s about employee harm? I’m guessing this is an extension of your “crime” reason, but again, where’s the proof?
The government supplying food to the people is literally socialism, so I’m cool with that if you’re cool paying the taxes for it IG.

Here is one example

Who said anything about supplying the food? It is their job to create an environment where business want to do business.

Based on your source the real issue seems to be the property owner allowing that activity on their premises. It’s also interesting that reasoning was an afterthought in the last two paragraphs of the article while the remaining ~80% seemed to be focused on how it’s a good thing for the city.
It’s not the governments job to enable businesses, they already do that with tax breaks, corporate subsidies and passing laws that favor them.
It is the primary role of government to protect, defend and improve the lives of the people they govern and that elect them to their positions of power. Corporations didn’t revolt from Great Britain and establish this country, the people did.
You have your priorities twisted to maintain your political stance, IMO.
