Yah, well, this is Schlitz Brewing redux.
...On Monday, the [Milwaukee Common Council's] Steering and Rules Committee advanced two resolutions in response to multiple grocery stores, as well as pharmacies that have closed in the city – including in low-income neighborhoods. ...
One resolution declares what they are calling food apartheid, a deliberate and racialized system denying people of color access to fresh foods – a public health emergency. As part of that, the committee also advanced a change to city ordinance, requiring grocers and pharmacies to give a 60-day written notice of intent to close the city, detailing the date of closure, reason for closure, and plans for employees. ...
Stamping their Widdle Feets and yelling "RAAAAACISSSSSS!!!!" at the sky.....
But we digress.
Many years ago, a Milwaukee alderman, drunk with power, commanded Schlitz Brewing NOT to close its operations in Milwaukee. Our foggy memory tells us that he was the president of the Common Council.
Not long afterwards, Schlitz locked its doors for the last time.
History is not the strong suit of Milwaukee aldermen.
However, screeching "RAAAAAACISSSS!!" is.
Residents should be proud!
