BOSTON — A major drugstore chain is shutting down another location in Boston in just a matter of days and people who live in the area are concerned that they are now living in a “pharmacy desert.”
In Boston? Really?
That’s like saying there’s a food desert in Chris Christie’s home.

In the desert you can’t remember your name because
there ain’t no one for you to give your pain.
… the drugstore is decorated in a Southwestern motif…
… some of the needles lying around are from cacti…
… bottled water is overpriced…
… carrion birds are circling overhead…
… the corner drug dealers need to advertise…
This is Democrat poli-sci 101.
Who goes to pharmacies? Old people and sick people. Unlike the thieves driving the pharmacies out of business, the old and sick won’t be around to vote for Democrats next election. So the criminals aren’t sent to jail and stores have to close.
