Running a Business Under Democrat Anarchotyranny

Posted on by

Where Democrat anarchotyranny has been established as in San Francisco, running a business is challenging:

Cigarettes Cheaper, a family-owned small business […] has been broken into and ransacked on four different occasions, according to Bashir, the store’s owner. …

“How many times do we have to go through this? I get it (if it’s) once or twice, but it just continues to happen,” Bashir said. “I think we’re at the verge to just completely close our shop because the profit is not that great. All we’re trying to do is maintain. Everything’s expensive. The rent is up, employee (costs) are high, and on top, (we have) to deal with this.”

Welcome to California now that Democrats have consolidated control.

The store is walled with interior fencing because of previous break-ins, but Bashier said the thieves used a car to ram through it […]

Disposable cars are easy to come by in California. Just steal one. In the name of Critical Race Theory, police have been marginalized to the point of irrelevance.

Costs are estimated to be in the tens of thousands from stolen items […] and the damage to the storefront.

Another benefit of living in Gavin Newsom Land:

“There’s no insurance. State Farm has completely kicked us out because they call the state of California a hot spot,” Bashir said. “I don’t blame them because they’re here for business, not to just continue to give you money. So, there’s chaos going on here (and) they cancelled everybody’s policy. They won’t give insurance because they know the outcome.”

See here for more on State Farm giving up on the erstwhile Golden State.

The police did chase the criminals. But then they crashed into a police car and ran away. At last word, no arrests had been made.

Municipal bureaurats realized Bashir had not been sufficiently punished for trying to run a business, so…

San Francisco Free Food Market

Posted on by

Our Marxist future continues to unfold in San Francisco. Now that businesses have been driven out because shoplifting is effectively legal there, the next logical step is free food markets:

San Francisco opened its first $5.5 million free food “market”, where approved residents can show a benefits eligibility card, put what they want in their carts, check out to keep track of outgoing inventory, and leave without paying.

The Bayview-Hunters Point facility aims to be a food pantry alternative that replicates the supermarket experience in an area where many grocery stores have come but few have remained due to high crime.

Authorities say this is necessary because food stamps do not provide enough free food due to inflation. The inflation is mainly driven by government spending.

The 4000-square foot District 10 Market is the first of San Francisco’s food empowerment “markets” funded by the San Francisco’s Human Services Agency.

That is, funded by taxpayers who have not yet escaped the area. When the entire state has been emptied of taxpayers, California will get a federal bailout — if the whole country has not followed it down the tubes by then.

Speaking of jurisdictions going down the tubes, Chicago’s ultramoonbat mayor has called for government grocery stores. If you like the DMV, you’ll love relying on leftist bureaucrats for food.

San Francisco Provides Free Alcohol to Drunken Bums

Posted on by

If moonbats are insane enough to give free needles to drug fiends, why not provide free vodka shots to drunken bums? No really:

San Francisco is handing out bottles of beer, glasses of wine and shots of vodka to homeless alcoholics – and spending $5m a year on the program.

It’s okay; it’s all supervised by Experts:

The alcoholic drinks are served by nurses as part of the city’s ‘managed alcohol program’, which has been running for four years, as a way of taking care of vulnerable homeless people.

No reason to be stingy; taxpayers have plenty of money:

Nurses assess patients and typically serve them the equivalent of 1-2 drinks between three and four times a day — handing out either 1.7 ounces of vodka or liquor (about a shot), 5 ounces of wine (1 glass) or 12 ounces of beer – about three-quarters of a pint.

Next will be taxpayer-funded kiddy porn for vulnerable pedophiles.

Adam Schiff Robbed in San Francisco

Posted on by

Democrats seem to believe they will be safe from the chaos they inflict on the rest of us. But as civilization is systematically dismantled to advance the liberal agenda, everyone becomes vulnerable — even prominent party members like California congresscritter/senate candidate Adam Schiff:

Schiff faced a rude welcome in San Francisco as he was reportedly a victim of a carjacking just hours before a campaign dinner. Thieves broke into his car parked in a downtown garage, stealing his bags, leaving Schiff to attend the event in shirt sleeves and a hiking vest.

No wonder Schiff evidently does not live in the state he represents.

Despite the setback, Schiff thanked supporter Joe Cotchett at the ritzy dinner in Burlingame, where he was commended for his resilience by Cotchett.

What a tough guy Adam Schiff is. Like most representatives of the liberal establishment, he looks like he is made out of suet. But without grit, he would have lacked the fortitude to continue clinging to the Trump Russia collusion hoax after everyone knew it was a lie.

Don’t worry, his fellow Dems have turned their attention to getting the crime wave they caused under control:

San Francisco Mayor London Breed is proposing various efforts to combat high crime rates, homelessness, and public drug use in the city. These initiatives aim to address the root causes of these issues…

By addressing the root causes of crime and social instability, communities can work towards creating safer and more inclusive environments for all residents.

In other words, liberals will continue to worsen the problem by financing and otherwise enabling the bums and drug fiends who have overrun leftist epicenters like San Franfreakshow.

San Francisco Floods Bay With Ocean of Sewage

Posted on by

Hard to imagine a story more illustrative of the consequences of putting liberals in charge than this one about the Mecca of Moonbattery pouring gargantuan amounts of sewage into San Francisco Bay:

San Francisco has long been at the forefront of all things progressive: it was one of the first locales to begin decriminalizing marijuana, which of course devolved into the druggie free-for-all it now is; home to pederasts like Harvey Milk, the LGBTQ++ community, no matter how obscene (Folsom Street Fair) is always celebrated; it’s home to social programs like GIFT, which isn’t just ordinary welfare, but a handout that can pay out as much as $21,600 per enrollee and is exclusively for “trans” people; and the city has an official “Poop Patrol” department to clean up all the human fecal matter plopped around the sidewalks thanks to the sizable vagrant population.

And predictably, all that progressivism only reaps total destruction, coming back to bite the city in the rear-end in grand fashion; a longstanding nonprofit committed to the environmental health of the bay filed a lawsuit against the city’s utility commission for 1.2 billion gallons per year of sewage and trash-filled runoff flowing into the San Francisco Bay.

The filth flowing out of San Franfreakshow is described to be rich in “fecal matter, plastics, syringes, and condoms,” as you might expect.

The same sanctimonious moonbats who run this seeping pustule of political correctness won’t let people have gas furnaces and water heaters, on the grounds that they are allegedly offensive to the environment.

Down the Left Coast, we see a similar phenomenon in Los Angeles, which has been flooding the country with comparable quantities of sewage via Tinseltown.

ChiComs Laugh at Collapse of San Francisco

Posted on by

The moonbattery-induced collapse of the erstwhile Golden State and specifically formerly beautiful San Francisco can be seen all the way from the other side of the Bamboo Curtain:

The beleaguered California city has been labelled a ‘total failure’ by some China-based outlets as the city prepares to host Chinese President Xi Jinping next week.

Once associated with the gold rush and scenic views, San Francisco is now known for producing moonbats like Nancy Pelosi and mayors Gavin Newsom, Dianne Feinstein, and London Breed.

[Chinese] headlines include the phrases ‘garbage city, ‘ruined city’ and ‘fallen city’, as crippling drug issues and widespread homeless problems continue to cause problems for the city.

The ChiComs are keeping tabs on American decline. They are aware of the Democrat Death Spiral:

Another headline from the Chinese site Phoenix also said the city had fallen into a ‘death cycle’.

Our communist adversaries chuckle that San Francisco collapsed into decay “as the Democrats advanced their radical agenda.”

ChiComs aren’t the only ones to notice this ship sinking under the weight of moonbattery. As public order disintegrates and the population degenerates into mobs of looters, retailers head for the lifeboats:

Over the past year, dozens of high profile retailers announced they would be vacating the downtown area of the city.

For example,

Retail stalwart Old Navy announced they would be shuttering their flagship store in the area last month, becoming the latest chain to exit the city.

Nordstrom also announced they would be closing all of their locations in the city.

According to leftists, it doesn’t matter that communism has failed spectacularly everywhere it has been imposed, because in America it will be different. Sure enough: in the hands of suet-soft politically correct liberals, American communism will be so bad that other communist regimes will laugh at it. They are laughing already.

Child-Molesting Bum Offers Free Fentanyl Outside School

Posted on by

San Francisco is approaching peak liberalism — the point where people finally start pushing back against moonbattery:

An unhoused man who has been living across the street from a California school for more than two years is turning some heads with a sign that says, “Free fentanyl for new users.”

Evidently Adam Moore really does give free fentanyl to children.

Moore is a convicted sex offender who set up camp across the street from a Catholic grade school in San Francisco more than two years ago… Moore is on the Megan’s Law website for “lewd and lascivious acts with a child under the age of 14.” … Moore is apparently not considered a “high-risk” offender, so he does not have to follow the rule to stay 2,000 feet away from any school.

Finally a parent punched him in the face, and the police moved him along for camping on the sidewalk. Moore was even arrested on a probation violation.

Then, police decided to delay pursing the probation violation. He was out of custody Friday night.

He is pressing charges against the parent who allegedly punched him.

San Francisco Doom Loop Walking Tour

Posted on by

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. These days San Francisco is mostly known for the societal decay that is both the cause and main effect of liberalism. An enterprising soul is capitalizing with a sold-our tour:

The “Doom Loop Walking tour” promises an up close and personal view of “open-air drug markets, the abandoned tech offices, the outposts of the non-profit industrial complex, and the deserted department stores” that make up downtown San Francisco.

The tour guide is anonymous but claims to be a “card-carrying City Commissioner.”

Promising tourists they will find no better expert, the guide assures that patrons will discover the “policy choices that made America’s wealthiest city the nation’s innovative leader of housing crisis, addiction crisis, mental-health crisis, & unrepentant crime crisis.”

Being the center of the tech industry, San Francisco is still extravagantly wealthy. But no amount of money can buy you out of moonbattery.

“How can a city with a $14.6 billion annual budget be a model of urban decay? How can it spend $776.8 million per year on police and have no rule of law to show for it? How can it spend $690 million on homeless services and receive an official United Nations condemnation for its treatment of the homeless (“cruel and inhuman”; “violation of multiple human rights”)?” the tour guide posited.

If you would like a Doom Loop Walking Tour in your own town, all you have to do is vote Democrat. Before long you too can wallow in the depraved filth and squalor that characterize Pelosiland. Or you can just wait until Democrats have finished imposing it nationwide.
