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. …

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.”

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…
