McDonald's CEO Chris Kempczinski rails on Chicago and its crime issues

https://www.chicagobusiness.com/restaurants/chicago-crime-called-out-mcdonalds-ceo-chris-kempczinski

Let's continue watching the series "Today - Detroit, then - everywhere."
Does anyone think that news like "Children's gangs are running rampant in Maryland, a record number of corpses, a curfew is being introduced" https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2022/sep/5/prince-georges-county-enforce-youth-curfew-after-r/ is this an exception in the US against the backdrop of a general benevolent picture?
Here's what the head of McDonald's thinks about Chicago:
“Criminal problems make it difficult for us to hire staff. The city is in crisis. It is increasingly difficult for us to persuade of the managers to move to Chicago, and even just hire an employee to work there.
The city government failed to create a coherent plan to combat the growing wave of crime. Can anyone here say that they understand this plan? What exactly is being done? How is progress measured? What is being done and how is it measured on the issue of crime?"

Corporations are increasingly fleeing the city, taking out their headquarters - in particular, Boeing and Caterpillar.

Police statistics say there are 38% more crimes reported in Chicago this year than in the same period last year. There have been 479 murders since the beginning of the year, that is, about two killed per day, and another 2011 (8 per day!) - "just incidents" with shooting. Well, thieves and hijackers bloomed especially violently:



And this is just a miserable start.

 

the drug war funding gangs has to end....

 

Karl Marx - "There is no such crime that the capitalist will not commit for the sake of profit." Comrade Marx said very accurately.
Therefore, under capitalism, the fight against drugs, prostitution, human trafficking ... or any other crimes is impossible if these crimes are profitable.

 

just like Alcohol, used to be dangerous for the children to walk in wooded areas as they might run across a still, once legal, the threats ended, the mob lost power

 

Is that to say that you believe if drugs were legal, smash n grabs would cease?

 

I believe less gang crime would exist, and I think that would make society better

 

According to your alleged "logic", if cannibalism is allowed, then there will be fewer maniacs in society.
But if rape is allowed, will there be fewer rapists?

 

that sounds like your logic, don't try to shove it in my mouth

gangs are funded by the war on drugs... that is how they exist... we should remove that, just like we did with alcohol

as for the abuse of drugs and alcohol, that exists legal or not.... just one punishes those that did not abuse and funds gangs and mobs

 

People who work jobs that can be done from home, are not going to want to come back into the office. Companies need to adapt if they want to keep workers.

Chicago has crime problems for sure, but i think the McDonalds CEO would have this same problem even if there wasn't a crime problem in Chicago.

 

sadly any job that can be done from home, can be outsourced overseas, corps are already doing this

 

Yea, and every other job is going to be replaced with automation.

We better start figuring out how society is going to function when employment is optional.

 

Companies will adapt by firing workers in the US and send jobs to India for half or less cost. That's one way to get these entitlement people back in the office.

 

Will you have the same sympathy for Truck drivers in 10 years?

 

yep, I believe this will be the future

 

nope, that is greedy Corporatism killing Capitalism... careful what you wish for

 

These crimes happen just as often under socialism.

 

You mean, make the entire country a craphole like Portland?

 

McDonalds should just hire robots and dispensing machines. No humans needed to work there except those in the back maintaining the machines.

 

He's not talking about the store workers.

 

Under socialism, there is no such mass flow of crime.
For example, in the USSR, many did not even hear about drug addicts, there was prostitution, but it was harshly eradicated, no one in the USSR heard about kidnapping at all.
Of course, there were criminals in the USSR, but compared to the capitalist countries, they were minuscule.
Under socialism, there are no conditions for mass crimes - no unemployment, Under socialism free education, free medicine, any person could get free housing. Under socialism, there is no exploitation of man by man....etc.
And most importantly, under socialism, philanthropy and contempt for crimes are everywhere promoted.
Study the question.

 

Under Russian Socialism, the Mafia runs rampant and free. The rich are the powerful rulers while everyone else is lower class. Crime in Russia is most definitely there, but under reported.

As far as drugs, Russia doesn't have leaky borders like USA has to deal with having Central and South America exploiting them. Besides, being the richest nation in the world where the vast majority of the people can afford drugs does invite criminals to get involved in the drug trade. In Russia, where the vast majority are lower class and the access to drugs is a great deal lower, leads to less drug problems. If the USA had the border protection Russia provides their people, we would have a great deal less crime and drugs on the streets, period.

Now, if you think every American living in their nice middle class houses want to give up everything so that everyone can live the same lower class existence, you would have to be absolutely insane. America is the land of opportunity where those who work the hardest or smartest succeed, not some nation being exploited by the richest and one of the most brutal dictators alive who went from a nobody to one of the most richest people in Russia through brutal oppression.

 

yes, no one ever heard of kidnappings under the USSR, but there were certainly many kidnappings, done by the USSR.

No one heard of lots of things under the USSR. That wasn't because of their economic system though.

 

Are you quoting CNN?
Come to Russia and see for yourself how Russians live.
I showed many times a video from Russian cities, where the cameraman walks along the street of a Russian city and shoots everything. Check out these videos. Pay attention to the road surface, pay attention to how people are dressed, pay attention to what cars drive on the streets ....etc.
And compare it with the cities of Europe or the USA.
At least in Moscow you will not see rats on the streets, as you can see in Paris (even near the Eiffel Tower)

 

I have not watched CNN nor Foxnews in years. Are you quoting Russian Propaganda because everything you say parrots what the Kremlin has told his people to believe in since news is one sided in Russia.

As far as Rats, well good for you. I am so happy you don't have to see rats on your streets. Makes one want to deal with brutal oppression to live on Rat free streets.

Moscow does not represent how the rest of the nation of Russians have to live.

 

Are you able to read comprehension?
I wrote to you - watch the video. Is it hard for you to understand?
