Sun Fresh Market on Kansas City, Missouri's eastside in decline, with rotten odors, empty shelves (government owned grocery store)

[Drop Dead Fred]

KSHB, the NBC News affiliate in Kansas City, Missouri, did this news story on the city's government owned grocery store.

This is what Zhoran Mamdani wants to bring to New York City. He wants one of these stores in each of the city's five boroughs.

This is pretty typical, all over the world, for what a government owned grocery store is like.

These inexperienced, naive idiots, who know nothing about the real world, always say that their government run grocery store will be different.

When a government takes over the food industry, you have situations like in China, North Korea and the old Soviet Union where millions died of starvation. Governments must always be kept away from controlling the food industry as it never goes well.

And you could also do stories about success cases, just like you could do stories about how capitalism fails because so many grocery stores have failed.

Mamdani is promising government-run grocery stores. How would that work?

The goal: to make food cheaper and more accessible

"Mamdani's idea is "less radical than critics portray," said CNN. City-owned grocery stores have popped up in small towns like Saint Paul, Kansas and big cities like Atlanta. That makes them "more common than people are aware of," said Nevin Cohen, director of the City University of New York's Urban Food Policy Institute. Mamdani's plan is light on details so far, but he wants to open one store in each of the city's five boroughs. The idea is a bit of "reasonable policy experimentation," he said."

One store in a borough of at least half a million people, up to 2.7 million people, with one store for them all, and the stores might be in places with a lack of stores, rather than competing with stores that actually exist.

Wrong,

if you know of any socialist grocery store success stories you should post them

The Fed should be kept from controlling anything that isn't mandated to it by the Constitution.

How is the performance of those government-run grocery stores? How is the quality? Can they keep up with demand?

The market creates efficiency; definitely not the Government.

Just look at the US postal service and Amtrak. Money pits

Politics was invented as a substitute for War.

I believe that, in this Country, it is about to fail if dimocrap scum voters don't come to their senses soon.

dimocrap scum are so stupid, they see their biggest weakness (over-populated Cities) as a strengh.

Government grocery stores open when crime has put existing stores out of business. Opening a government grocery store doesn't stop the crime. The stores are still robbed. Shoplifters still steal. Customers are still assaulted and robbed. You see what they are left with.

Yeah, if you start talking about how well Venezuelan government run grocery stores are doing, you might actually have a point.

If you answer a reply about government run grocery stores by just saying "look how bad Venezuela is doing" then that's not a good reply.

And even when you post a link about a government run store in Venezuela, you totally forgot to write anything about it. I'm not doing "here's a link, read my link and find the information that I would say if I weren't lazy"

Oh, and your article literally says how bad CAPITALIST grocery stores are. Not ones run by the government.
