They want to be able to steal from the wealthy in the name of "reparations", but they can't force the wealthy to stick around. Companies can only be bled dry if they sit passively and expose a vein. When they simply walk away, there's nothing that leftists can do. Walking away is kryptonite for socialists.

This is why protests like those in Milwaukee and other blue cities over food deserts achieve nothing.

No one is entitled to retail access. No community deserves to have a grocery store nearby. Businesses must be able to maintain enough profit to make a store location viable. There are hundreds of grocery outlets in the Milwaukee region; the complaint is not that stores are gone, the complaint is that the people in affected neighborhoods don't want to drive a few miles to the next closest location.
