    They aren’t even being told to pay for it, just provide 6 months notice before closing!

    Find another grocery store, created a co-op etc. none of these are their obligations. I suspect this will get thrown out if passed

      The bill just says they need to give notice.

      You have to get notice to be evicted, you typically give notice to quit a job, why is it such a bad idea for a large grocery chain to give notice before closing their store?

      I’m struggling to understand why that would enrage you.

        No the bill has other restrictions as well. It’s in the article.

        And who’s enraged? I just think it’s stupid.

            Section 5703 just as I described. That’s the governments job. Not the job of the business.

              You mean that they must make good faith efforts to find a workable solution prior to just dipping? That just means they have to either try to be profitable so as not to leave, or tell the public why they’re not profitable so it can be worked on.

              One example given mentions being a part of discussions in identifying another business to take over for them. You’re hyper focusing and assuming that means they have to fund these things.

              What is it with conservatives and not liking smooth and peaceful transitions of power? Not trolling, genuinely serious.

                Just the fact they have to do it is funding It. Labor isn’t free. Why is it lefties like fascist law? Not trolling, genuinely curious.

                  Ok so you admit you’re conflating them doing literally anything to prevent the population from not knowing where they’re going to get their food, after years of eliminating their competition (thereby creating the problem in the first place), with “funding”. Now that I understand your use of the word better, then yeah I don’t see a problem. Once again, the corporations actions have brought the city to this point, so it’s only fair they at least have a partial involvement in improving the situation.

                  Holding a corporation accountable for the damage they’ve done to a community isn’t fascism, it’s exactly the kind of law government is supposed to enact to improve the lives of the people.

                  Fascism, according to the dictionary, is:

                  An authoritarian and nationalistic right-wing system of government and social organization.

                  Interesting you chose that word, almost like a form of projection.

                    If the city didn’t allow crime on the level to force the business out, the business would not leave.

                    It is weird you blame the corporation for not wanting their employees to be harmed at work.

                    Yes, it is authoritarian to force a company to do the job the government should be doing. This would never hold up in court.
