Govt owned grocery stores is a terrible idea.

I think what they’re looking for is cooperatives.

Theres a long history of governments subsidizing losses for corporations, and it never ends well

Theres a long history of raising police funding and not stopping crime, and it never ends well

Theres a long history of lowering taxes on the rich, and it never ends well

How come all these are acceptable but subsidizing losses on public grocery stores is a bridge to far

Because there is a history of govts doing this and it never ends well

How so?


Why should New York City pay Billions of dollars in subsidies to corporations that pay poverty wages? 

Why shouldn't that money instead be used to subsidize at cost groceries?

i'd argue the opposite we should have more core services offered by the government so that corporations can flex on how efficient the really are (spoiler alert they are ripping us off) let's add a pharmacy, a grocery store, a bank, and an airline
