  OK? Food deserts have nothing to do with "the legalization of crime" and have been a phenomenon for 3+ decades in Chicago. They're the product of redlining, not of criminal justice policies. Food deserts occur in the low-income west and south sides of the city, which aren't lucrative to site large retail in. Your argument is really flimsy, and counts on your reader not knowing how Chicago works (or, for that matter, what a food desert is).

    Also worth noting Brandon Johnson’s administration has a habit of floating trial balloons of things that will never actually happen. The number of serious policy proposals they’ve been able to accomplish is effectively zero.

      A Soviet style grocery seems well out of reach anyway, where are you going to find enough competent abacus operators? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMdb7Ju_nq0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMdb7Ju_nq0
