Kroger Co. will close two supermarkets in Southern California in response to a local ordinance requiring extra pay for certain grocery employees working during the pandemic.
The decision announced by the company Monday follows a unanimous vote last month by the Long Beach City Council mandating a 120-day increase of $4 an hour for employees of supermarkets with at least 300 employees nationwide and more than 15 in Long Beach.
Kroger said it will close a Ralphs market and a Food 4 Less on April 17.
Congratulations, Long Beach California!!! YOU are driving businesses away by mandating extra pay for no reason.
Unfortunately, who puts them on trial?
Even certain people here are like "STORMING THE CAPITOL WAS TERRORISM!" and it comforts them to believe it was AntiFA.
While it is important to point out we didn't do it, it is also important to acknowledge that when every other part of the system fails to keep their cheating and anti-American bullshit in check, that is the only sort of action that becomes acceptable.
But they have somehow outlawed that part of our Constitutional duty.
