The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

bighairymike: Can she really be that oblivious about the effects of crime on the law abiding citizens living in the district she represents?

The San Francisco Chronicle analyzed city police department data, revealing that Walgreens' claims of shoplifting forcing the company to close five of its stores was unfounded. - CO


Plus this from the SF Chron article you linked,

Data released by the San Francisco Police Department in October 2021 did not support Walgreens’ claim that unchecked theft had forced it to close five stores.

============================

Now for some analysis,

The whining squad member is a dem congresswoman from MA. The two senators she will enlist for help are both of the MA senators, both democrats. And her whining occurred this week when the closing of the fourth Walgreens in Boston was announced.

Take note, Four stores, in Boston, in Jan 2024.

Now for your "rebuttal",

The SF Chron article you linked analyzed data released by the San Francisco Police Department in October 2021 and concluded that data did not support Walgreens’ claim that unchecked theft had forced it to close five stores.

Take note, Five Stores, in San Fran, data analyzed was released in Oct 2021.

So, unless there is a Delorean available with a working flux capacitor, I don't see how the 2021 study could lend any support for the 2024 accusations by Squad member Ayanna Pressley.
