Some of the best moments in life are waiting on the bread line.

For one, he said it himself -- they'll operate without a profit motive and won't be subjected to city taxes or rent. These socialized grocery stores can buy at wholesale prices and sell at wholesale prices, meaning their only real expense will be utilities and paying their employees.

But they can technically operate at a loss and still come out "winning" when they tax all the millionaires and billionaires in the city more. NYC can tax anyone at gunpoint. If NYC sends a letter to MetLife to fork over another $5m for the "food bank" grocery store, WTF can they do? They have to pay.

These Socialized stores are going to be a huge propaganda tool, because they can externalize the expense to far and wide to offset the losses. I'm excited to see it happen, to be honest.

That's how they drive all the big tax cattle out of the city and transform NYC into New Detroit.

This is horrible. One step closer to “oh your palintir score is too low? No food for you.”

Yeah, that's another thing. They can absolutely ration food and still claim it's a success. "You've exceeded your caloric intake, comrade." They can also force biometrics, like Amazon's palm reader, on anyone that wants to access to their food. And most will, since these stores are going to implode ever other grocery store's margins. But not too soon. They're going to stock these store SO WELL that people will abandon the paid stores; and when they've all gone bankrupt, then the city-owned stores will start making demands.

They will suck ass and in 10 years be so far in the red due to pension promises to their workers.

No pensions. They'll pay min. wage and all the day-old bread and fruit they can carry home.

> they'll operate without a profit motive

so little to no cleaning, public restrooms, no security guards, infested with shoplifters and other criminals, management grifters with nepotistic hiring practices, disinterested staff ...

It would fail in NYC, but I think rural counties should own grocery stores, instead of globohomo Goyslop merchants.

It will be a HUGE "success," comrade. Read my comments here.

They don't have to turn a profit, they're exempt from taxes and rent, and they can impose the losses onto any Fortune 500 company in town.

I think this model would work for Whites in rural areas with low crime.
I don't care about fortune 500 companies.
Just because a mudslime said something, doesn't make it 100% incorrect.
I'm sick of seeing Walmarts & Dollar General as the only place to buy groceries.
Use your imagination, lolbert.

This is how I felt about getting Kamala Harris in. Unfortunately I think it’s what we needed to accelerate everything, and now seeing what trump has done to the masses on the right, I don’t think I’m wrong. Many have gone back to sleep since he was re-elected.
