ADVENTURES IN DEMOCRATIC GOVERNANCE

This week's episode: PLEASE rebuild that business we just let leftists torch.

Mayor [Lori] Lightfoot said she’s hopeful major retailers will reopen the Chicago stores that were looted or otherwise damaged during protests surrounding George Floyd’s killing by police in Minnesota. But, she’s unsure of one of the biggest.

Mayor Lightfoot said she was on a conference call with Walmart and other major retailers that had stores looted or heavily damaged during the unrest in Chicago. She said she pleaded with them to not abandon Chicago.

What's sad is that they'll probably do it.

Business leaders should be wary of reopening where the authorities do not have a commitment to civic order. If they do open, they'll need to charge extra to recover costs.
