Businesses that endorsed BLM now closing their stores in San Francisco as rampant violence and crime overwhelms

by: Ramon Tomey

(Natural News) Several businesses that endorsed Black Lives Matter (BLM) are actually closing their stores in San Francisco, one other proof that the adage “go woke, get broke” is undeniably true.

Chris Menahan of Information Liberation pointed this out in a May 4 piece. He noted that several firms, “all of whom endorsed the BLM movement amid widespread rioting and looting through the Summer of Floyd [in 2020], have closed or are closing their stores in San Francisco.” Based on Menahan, these stores are departing the City by the Bay “on account of rampant crime and theft brought on by the liberal policies they supported within the name of ‘fighting racism’ and ‘white supremacy.’”

He named Nordstrom, Whole Foods and Goal as three such firms that paid a heavy price for supporting BLM.

Back in January 2021, Nordstrom expressed support for the movement by way of a press release. The January 2021 release reaffirmed Nordstrom’s “commitment to advance diversity, inclusion [and] belonging” during Black History Month. It also emphasized how the department store chain is “supporting the necessary work of nonprofit organizations,” which incorporates the BLM Global Network Foundation.

In August 2020, the Guardian reported that Whole Foods managers were advised to talk concerning the company’s donations to BLM. The recommendation got here in the shape of an internal script relayed to store managers, a duplicate of which was obtained by the newspaper. It urged managers to emphasise what Whole Foods and its parent company Amazon “have done in support of social justice.”

Goal CEO Brian Cornell, meanwhile, called BLM riots in Minneapolis as “pent-up pain of years” that was unleashed by the murder of George Floyd. The large-box store also promised to send first-aid supplies to areas affected by the riots. It also promised to rebuild a looted company store in the town.

Wokism results in rampant crime that spells doom to those firms

The identical firms’ pivot toward wokism got here back to bite them years later, after they were forced to either close down or secure their San Francisco locations on account of rampant crime. San Francisco served for instance of the leftist utopia BLM wanted. With the San Francisco Police Department being de-funded, crimes within the City by the Bay spiked because of this.

Nordstrom announced on May 2 that it should close down its branch on the Westfield San Francisco Centre after 35 years of operations. “The dynamics of the downtown San Francisco market have modified dramatically over the past several years,” Nordstrom’s Chief Stores Officer Jamie Nordstrom wrote in a letter to employees. The major Westfield branch of Nordstrom will close at the tip of August, Breitbart reported. (Related: The Weimar Republic involves Nordstrom.)

The previous month, Whole Foods closed its flagship Trinity Place location after only 13 months in business. It permanently shuttered its doors at the tip of the April 10 business day on account of “safety concerns.” Affected employees could be transferred to a close-by location, a spokesperson for Whole Foods confirmed.

While Goal has not yet closed its San Francisco location, it took extra measures by locking products behind security glass. A spokesperson for the retailer confirmed the move, saying it was a part of “proactive measures to maintain our teams and guests secure while deterring and stopping theft.” They added: “Like other retailers, organized retail crime is a priority across our business.”

“I do feel bad for the staff and store managers who lost their jobs, due to their libtard CEOs putting virtue signaling before common sense,” Menahan concluded.

“I hate the concept that the libtard morons who created this nightmare can simply flee to safety fairly than be forced to live within the hellholes their policies created. Every politician and business leader who endorsed this lunacy needs to be forced to pay their victims reparations.”
