4 guys sitting in a cold forest doing NOTHING.

One guy has had enough and gathers wood and starts a fire and enjoys the warmth.

The other 3 guys say, “HEY, WHY DOES HE GET THE WARM FIRE?”

They kill the first guy and enjoy the warm fire until it burns out.

Now there are 3 guys sitting in a cold forest doing NOTHING.

THAT IS COMMUNISM.

Congrats to NY city voters. Their wishes came true. Stalin would be so proud.

How soon are those free busses coming?

Ghosts of Former Soviet Union Leaders Grin As Mamdani's $30M NYC Communist Grocery Store Unveiled

NYC's first city-run $30M grocery store in East Harlem sparks debate over fairness and competition.

redstate.com

On Sunday, he announced that the city’s first city-run grocery store will open in East Harlem, and it will cost $30 million to build and take over a year to complete.

Even assuming New York City’s priciest union-driven construction costs, a standard-sized 25,000-square-foot grocery store should only be about $15 million to build, said Adam Lehodey, an expert at the Manhattan Institute.

“Thirty million dollars for one store is exceptionally high, considering land prices are a significant part of the capital costs of new construction, and the city has announced that rents will be waived,” he said.

The store will be required to pay no taxes or rent, yet the neighboring competitors will face those high costs. That is not capitalism, folks.

I think the homeless should be allowed to steal $999.99 worth of groceries without punishment. See how long the place remains in business.

Yep. And we see it playing out in NYC.

Did you see how Hochul is begging the wealthy people who fled the city to come back? Pretty please? “We need your money!”

Just bill the taxpayers. Money for “free stuff” never ends.

ABC news? What a laughable joke.

The communist run government food stores will have tax and rent exceptions as the only way to make them viable.

ABC is laughable says the person posting from Redstate.

Of course they will, that is the plan.

The city provides the building and infrastructure and contracts out operations.

Since the building and infrastruture will be provided, that means the contractor will have lower expenses which the contract mandates those saving will be passed along to the consumer.

And because the government has privileges that private companies don’t, such as not having to pay rent or taxes, they can undercut their competitors and destroy private industry.

You don’t see where that leads?

No, I don't. Especially when commercial grocery chains are not impacted because they aren't there.

I've been shopping at a government grocery store for decades. Ones that have government privileges that private companies don't have, such as pay rent or taxes that undercut competators in areas where there are actually grocery food chains.

This idiot wants to spend 30 million on grocery stores when a private store costs nothing and actually pays taxes. This shows you how dumb he is and why communism always fails

You don’t see a problem with government driving private industry out of business by undercutting their prices?

is your government grocery store open to everyone?

The stores are being opened because of Food Deserts, the major grocery store chains are not there.

Since you asked the same question again. Here is the same answer.

No, I don't. Especially when commercial grocery chains are not impacted because they aren't there.
