Right wing rags blame the Walgreens closures on shoplifting, implicitly blaming the policies of Boudin, but walgreens is closing hundreds of stores nationwide right now: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-08-06/walgreens-to-close-200-u-s-pharmacies-in-cost-cutting-expansion https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-08-06/walgreens...
Stores with higher lossage rates are probably first to go, which gives fuel to the fire that blames this on San Francisco's progressive DA. But how does that explain the closures across the rest of the nation happening at the same time? Walgreens is just struggling, and was before the pandemic.
