But back to the subject of the thread.

How bad are blue cities? This bad:

Hundreds of businesses in Oakland plan to participate in a one-day strike Tuesday, protesting rising crime in the city and calling on city officials to help struggling merchants.
The strike is set to start at 10 a.m. with a news conference at Le Cheval, a downtown restaurant that announced it is closing after 38 years due to crime and slow sales post-pandemic, according to a flyer distributed by the local NAACP chapter.
Some merchants plan to close their doors for the whole day, while others just for a couple of hours, said Carl Chan, a public safety advocate in Chinatown. He said a majority of businesses participating are small convenience stores, as well as restaurants throughout the city.

That's right. Dozens of small businesses are basically saying, 'things are so bad it's worth it for us to not be open and lose money to bring awareness to how things are'.

That's life in blue cities under perpetual democrat leadership.

Does anyone want this at a national level? The sane answer is 'NO'.
