A Rite Aid spokesperson also confirmed employees adversely impacted by this closure will have transfers and job options made available to them.
This isn’t the only Rite Aid calling it quits, though. In the Upper East Side of Manhattan, yet another Rite Aid is no longer remaining open.
The ugly consequences of being soft on crime
A few weeks ago, White House press secretary Jen Psaki laughed at Fox News coverage regarding the ramifications of soft on crime policies. In spite of this, these ramifications are very true-to-life, as New Yorkers are experiencing firsthand.
What’s even more unfortunate about this is the worst may not have even arrived yet. New York City Mayor Eric Adams remains supportive of a COVID vaccine mandate resulting in the termination of non-compliant police officers.
With criminality and offenders on the rise in New York City, the thought of firing law enforcement officers shouldn’t even be crossing Adams’ mind. In light of these events, there’s no telling what may come next.
