Mamdani Says City-Run Supermarket Will Be Ready In 3 Years But Recommends Getting In Line For Bread Now

Free food stores will drive the private stores out of business.

You might have a point. So many people are going to realize that these socialist grocery stores will never punish a brown or black person for shoplifting and you can bet your ass the theft will drive these stores out of business in less than a month. 30 million dollars to give free food out for a month. Sounds like a great program. Democrat programs never work as intended and are just a front for massive corruption. NYC is destined to fail.

???

This isn't a food bank.

It's a grocery store where people will be paying for product.

Many of these stores will exist because there are no nearby grocery stores.

So that's why.

And the rest will be run out of town (so to speak) so there will
only be one grocery store, the commie shop.
You would fit right in, Troll.

So do you know what the average profit margin of a grocery store in NYC is?? its 1 - 3 percent.

These stores also have to pay property taxes and rent, which the CITY stores will not..
They stand to undercut other grocery stores , so there are some critics .

"Debates over food deserts aside, Mamdani has already anticipated some pushback from his critics who say government-run grocery stores won't work.

"My answer to them is simple," he said. "I look forward to the competition. May the most affordable grocery store win."

But, by definition, the government-owned grocery store would not actually foster competition because it would be largely insulated from price signals and subsidized by taxpayers. "

It's not relevant tliving there to have a take on it. Consider it the MAGIC of the internet, it has made the world a much smaller place.

Since it doesn't affect you personally...

You know, there are a lot of posters here on USMB who dont even live in the United States yet they post here on various issues that do not affect them personally, do you consider them all lingering, waiting in the shadows? needing a life? or is it different when they are aligned with your view points.
Furthermore this is called USMB not NYCMB... last time I checked New York city was inside the U.S.

Furthermore, everything I posted in post 16 is factual and non threatening... yet you find it threatening to you ... who needs to get a life? maybe you got the labels on your meds mixed up.
