San Francisco is pretty much the woke capital of the US.
And it is being denuded of jobs as big name businesses flee the rampant shoplifting and out of control crime:
Amazon:
“ Amazon is closing eight Go convenience stores in Seattle, New York City and San Francisco.”
“ The company will shut two Go stores in New York City, two locations in Seattle, and four stores in San Francisco. The stores will close on April 1, and Amazon said it will work to help affected employees secure other roles at the company.”
“ In January, the company said it would lay off as many as 18,000 employees, and some of the cuts were felt in Amazon’s grocery business.”
Whole Foods:
www.cbsnews.com/news/san-francisco-whole-foods-closing/
“ Whole Foods closes flagship store in San Francisco for staff “safety””
“ Whole Foods had previously cut the store’s hours, citing “high theft,” the paper reported last October. ”
Walgreens and others:
“ Mass Retail Chain Store Closures Continue in San Francisco
Walgreen’s closure later this month becomes 11th in city in two years”
“ However, unlike the reasoning given for last years closures that blamed the crime wave in the city, Walgreens on Friday attributed the latest closing to multiple factors, including the shifting dynamics in the area.”
“” Stores in malls, stores on Market Street, drug stores like CVS and Walgreens, Supermarkets, and so many more have closed. Nationwide, you have some places closing a bunch across the country at the same time, and so San Francisco is still hurt there. But , as that Walgreen’s said, they all look at many factors. Crime is definitely a major factor, with many stores actually naming it as the main reason for leaving.””
