Our Vice Chair examines the cluelessness and cruelty of 'dollar store bans' taking hold here in Georgia. This means you, Dekalb County Commissioners Brd:don't let your lack of empathy become someone else's lack of options.

h/t Dr. Laura Williams - ThatGhostwriter and The Foundation for Economic Education FEEThese laws are proposed by people who don’t shop in dollar stores and can’t understand why anyone would want to.

Why not incentivize other stores to move into a neighborhood to create more options (eg: via tax breaks or other carrots) vs reducing choice? The reason these areas are depressed is because local politicians are failing at a key aspect of their jobs to begin with - ie: foster socioeconomic growth. So we can't expect them to make logical decisions when they clearly can't get their arms around the basics of their elected position. What I'd really like to understand is why the people in these depressed areas keep sending the same ones back to keep making decisions like these. Someone needs to do a study on that.

We travel across the country. Many times Dollar General has saved us from being out of staples. At home we live behind the second largest mall in the SE. We go to dollar tree around the corner because you can buy certain items for a dollar, which is two or three dollars less than WM and five to fifteen less than the mall.

While I don't think that Dollar General stores should be banned, I do have a problem with the unfair advantage that they often have in other areas. They are often given tax incentives and special considerations that a small, independent grocer would not get.

I hate it when dollar stores reroute my car to their parking lots when I intended to go elsewhere...

Isn't this restraint of trade?

To be fair, only Dollar Tree is an actual dollar store. The other two are often more expensive than Wal-Mart. Not really relevant to the ban; they should obviously be free to open whatever business they please, but Dollar General and Family Dollar are garbage stores.

Go work in a dollar store and see how great they are. If no time for that, go sit on a county commission and fend off threats of lawsuits if you try to protect your county from dollar store cancer. Cute nuanced nonsense is still nonsense.

Dollar stores sell non-perishable grocery items and limited dairy but not fresh produce, meat, and seafood. Fresh departments have the greatest costs and shrinkage so they rely on the non-perishable sales for their profits. The proliferation of dollar stores and the ensuing market saturation has resulted in the closure of hundreds of grocery stores and creation of fresh food deserts all across suburban and rural America.

Won’t be an issue if you decriminalize any and all victimless “crimes” and decriminalize the possession of drugs and legalize marijuana... Suddenly there’s half the amount need a public defender and law enforcement actually protects and servers their communities.... Just saying

Ok... Soo if someone is arrested in Georgia and there isn't a qualified and available public defender ready to present a defense, does the accused walk?

Georgia charges for a public defender ...they add it into the cost of the fines ...

Good proposal❗️

Can we make public pretenders care less? Might as well save the money

Free the weed. 🤷‍♂️

Public defenders are worthless. They work for the state and are usually pals with the prosecutors.

MAGA

What needs to be out lawed is lawyers in courts. The are not looking for justice but a way around it.

The exploding prison population is a taxpayer’s problem and a windfall for those taking advantage of the prison profit oriented industry.

Cops:

I'm good with this. Public defenders don't fight for clients. Their case loads are horrendous. And the attorneys worth a damn have lost business to the state socializing legal defense which is the one damn thing that should Def not be socialize at such a crazy degree

If we kept repeat predators in cages, the need for a multitude of public defenders, who continually defend the same people over and over and over and over, would decrease exponentially.

Gotta feed those prisons and sell those bonds.

I agree that there can not be a crime without a victim. I am not talking about a butt hurt money grubbing state as a victim either. That said it infuriates me that $ is cut from public defenders and not prosecuters. They should have an equal or better budget than prosecuters. They are trying to starve out good public defenders and giving prosecuters big fat budget + resources of interns and investigators and professional witnesses. No Justice in that

Decriminalize victimless crimes and save a shit ton of money.

Virginia if you don't get rid of this cretin - you will lose forever
