San Francisco's answer to its self-inflicted grocery desert is a government-run store funded by a brand-new 1% grocery tax. City leaders call it affordable access. The rest of us call it a doom loop tax — penalizing the stores still standing to replace the ones they already drove out.

Whole Foods, Safeway, Lucky, and dozens of other grocers didn't leave because the government wasn't involved enough. They left because Prop 47's $950 theft threshold made shoplifting practically legal, drug markets operate openly in the Tenderloin, and the city let chaos rule the streets while lecturing residents about equity. The same policy environment that emptied the shelves is now being used to justify taxing them.

The Affordable Groceries Act is progressive theater. It doesn't enforce the law. It doesn't touch Prop 47. It doesn't make the streets safer. It just layers a regressive tax onto working-class families — the very people it claims to help — and funds a government grocery experiment New York City already tried at $35 million a store with zero meaningful impact. Sean breaks down why this socialist-inspired food fiasco is destined to close before the ribbon-cutting photos fade.
