Mayor Brandon Johnson (left) announced a partnership with the Economic Security Project to open municipally-owned grocery stores in Chicago in a bid to tackle many of the city's so-called 'food deserts.'
The initiative comes after Walmart (bottom right) announced in April it was shuttering four main stores across Chicago because they were simply not profitable enough and Whole Foods (top right) close in Englewood in November 2022.
'All Chicagoans deserve to live near convenient, affordable, healthy grocery options,' the Democrat mayor said.
The plan received a mix response online with some describing it as communism.

Works for me. Civil service employees can get threatened and beat up and see the stores looted. Maybe then the government will get it's head out of it's ass and fucking DO SOMETHING about the shit.
