A Democrat metropolis supervisor in San Francisco is blaming town’s large homeless drawback on capitalism. That is so dumb.
Who’re the folks in San Francisco defending capitalism? As we now have documented quite a few occasions, small enterprise homeowners and huge corporations are fleeing town in droves over crime and homelessness and nobody from town is sticking up for them.
San Francisco is run by leftists and has been for many years. Blaming capitalism is what silly, progressive, Bernie Sanders-supporting faculty college students do. It’s not acceptable from a metropolis official.
