You don’t see a problem with the govt using taxpayer dollars to subsidize food while people pay for it using taxpayer money? Also how many govt grocery stores have to fail for yall to realize this is a stupid idea?

Wasting taxpayer money on grocery stores is the real issue. Why not just add money to the state food programs? Why waste 30 million on a grocery store?

You’re right, that money would be better spent going to Israel so they can continue their ethnic cleansing instead of helping regular Americans

Yeah like if people want to talk about wasting taxpayer money, I can think of A LOT more worse uses for that cash then feeding people

I’m gonna use taxpayer money to buy a car for every single person in the US. I’m gonna pay 1 million per car. That’s a waste of money? Wait… what do you mean you’re against helping the working class be able to drive? You see the stupidity in the argument right?

What happens when the grocery store shelves go empty? Is Mamdani going to beg the grocery stores that went out of business to then go back into business?

Yeah they chose a shitty location for it full of crime, didn’t advertise it well so the turnout was low, and also only offered $800k to try and get it back on its feet - which is crazy low lmao

Ok cool so at least we’re somewhat on the same page And yeah, there have been government run grocery stores that have failed. Usually it’s because they’ve been run poorly, which is not much different to a private grocery store being run poorly and failing. Execution plays a big role here

Speaks volumes though every govt run grocery store fails and private grocery stores stay in business for a long time and that even with the fact that grocery stores barely make a profit

In America yeah, but as I’ve said it’s due partially to how they’ve been ran and also an important factor is that multibillionaires who run huge chains like Walmart or Target can just spend a ton of cash to compete, whereas public grocery stores have a fixed budget Also it’s ignoring countries that have done it. Cuba has gov run grocery stores, Venezuela did for a time too until Maduro fucked them over, and others too. I’m not denying those countries have been perfectly ran, but it can be done
