        Some neighborhoods tried, shops ended up closing, causing a lot of problems for the community. The corpos won’t make it easy to pull one over on them.

          Obvs more complicated than that, but generally.

          And like, if you can’t get groceries in your neighborhood; just organize raids into more affluent ones?

            Yes, but that will just end in violence among ourselves fighting for the last can of beans. I’m all for sticking it to big corp, but innocent people can’t get hurt in the crossfire.

            Forcing a store to close only make the underpaid staff jobless. The execs can go open up shop somewhere else, or have enough of a financial cushion to not give a fuck and retire.

              among ourselves

              Lolno. Thats not us, and any idiot who defends their corporate masters’ property against a hungry mob is not someone i would ever include in ‘us’

              Remember; the food exists. This is just a distribution system.

                The food only exists because it’s profitable. It will only continue to exist as long as it remains profitable.
