Instead of closing them, accept NYC offer of 5cents on the dollar to take over their lease. Everyone gets what they want.
Lol.
Capitalist leech says he’ll willingly lose capital.
Liiiiiiiiiiar.
The dollar is holy to these freaks. They won’t jeopardize a single one.
Great, now do Amazon.
Do it. Someone will fill the gap in the market.
Gristedes is an expensive yuppie supermarket chain like Whole Foods, in some rich areas. I don’t think they have to worry about some city-run stores in underserved neighborhoods. It’s just pouting.
Bullshit, billionaires are too greedy and morally bankrupt to leave exploited money on the table.
They won’t close the highest producing stores and effectively kill a revenue stream out of conviction in something that isn’t money, because if they had any beliefs or values above “gimme gimme gimme moar moar moar” they wouldn’t be billionaires.
It’s not a matter of not needing it, no shit, they have a socially encouraged mental illness.
It would be better for the new socialist stores if they did vacate the market, but they won’t. They’ll even pull a Walmart and try to do some loss leaders to convince idiots that der free merket menes lower prices for as long as they can stomach it until they find a vector to make the state stores illegal and Jack those prices back up forever.
If a billionaire grocer has decided it’s not worth the effort to build a grocery store for a community, why would they be upset that the state fills in the gaps left by them? Be reasonable.
It is because they are going to use the billionaires tax dollars to open a grocery store that he would have to compete against.
Oh wait, he probably doesn’t pay taxes.
oh no but think of the shareholders?
Didn’t starbucks do something like this where they just shut a store down the moment it got unionized?
Probably, it’s super common as a union busting tactic. Because once labor is organized you can’t really put that cat back in the bag.
More reason to boycott starbucks
Yep, slap it on the list right next to their zionism.
And the garbage coffee???
Fair, lol. Way too darkly roasted for my liking. Plus, there’s the brutal exploitation of the global south to source these beans at the price they are sourced at, too.
Seize his stores then. The city can run them for the people.
Oh no /s
Its always the same excuses with these mfers. Do it, we dont care. Take your family and go to africa or russia. Most of the assets however belong, rightfully so, to the society that created them.
Yes! Seriously if they don’t like it, just go somewhere else. Go live in your bunker, I don’t care just don’t come back complaining about it and don’t pretend like you can still own all the resources and land from down there.
There ability to skim money from those that actually do labor doesn’t seem like to matter to the farmers who need to grow food to sell it, and the people buying it will continue to do so. I don’t get how these skimmers/leeches think they are the beginning and end of all social contracts.
Gettin pretty real sick of the class war waged by billionaires against the rest of us. Every one of those wackos on cable news reactionary outlets who went REEEEEEEEEEEEE over the results need to be hunted down like the rabid feral pigs they are.
Call his fucking bluff. The only way anything would close is if it isn’t profitable (enough). And if they can’t turn a profit, well then they need to be better at business! (/s).
No matter the outcome, boycott this fucker.
which millionaire?
All?
