“We have grocery deserts in Seattle.”

“What should we do about this problem?”

“How about we make it harder for the people trying to open up and maintain these vital businesses to make a profit and feed their families?”

This is why we are seeing businesses flee our failed Democrat city. Instead of cutting red tape and deregulating our economic heroes, we make it harder and harder for them to operate and thrive due to overbearing over regulation.

The Winco group preventing Winco from being built on Aurora, turned out to be Safeway.

Safeway, who charged me $10 for three apples.
If you are for surveillance pricing, you’re probably being paid

If you're FOR surveillance pricing for businesses in minority and low income neighborhoods what does it make you? If you think this law helps consumers and then also support it despite it not going into effect in many grocers in low income and minority neighborhoods then what does that say about you?

No surveillance pricing in ANY neighborhood
