Young upstart defeats older moderate and becomes a darling of the Left. Like AOC, Mamdani will likely provide plenty of fodder for the GOP to fundraise off of. Closed primaries are killing this country.[/quote] Let’s see how he governs. Maybe he’ll surprise you. [/quote] I think the concept of city owned grocery stores is actually pretty interesting especially in underserved areas. [/quote] It would be better to offer some incentives to get actual grocery chains into neighborhoods that need them, or add more police to the area. [/quote] Yeah, let's keep trying to same things that have never worked! More capitalism and over policing is surely the solution![/quote] Have you tried communism? Study up on grocery stores in the Soviet Union.[/quote] Idk, does it work at all like capitalist food deserts or capitalist obesity crises, or capitalist childhood malnutrition? Anyway, I don't think Mamdani campaigned on communism, so...[/quote] Food deserts exists because the people who live there don't want it. It's really not that hard. "Capitalist obesity crises" LMAO.[/quote] You think food deserts exist because the people there don't want food? LMAO! Attributing every failure of the Soviet Union to communism is as stupid as ignoring the real failures of our capitalist state. Does capitalism cause obesity? Not in an of itself. It's a nuanced issue. And so are the failures of the Soviet Union and communism as an economic system. [/quote] Please spend some time in an actual "food desert" and think about how many people there want to buy a bunch of raw broccoli to cook. Oh, wait, you probably live in some gentrified Trader Joes neighborhood and would never set foot in Ward 8. Get over yourself.[/quote] The fact that you think poor people can't eat or cook fresh vegetables just tells us how much of a classist assh#le you are. It's about giving people in food deserts OPTIONS and CHOICE. Some will buy the broccoli, some will buy the packaged food. Respect their humanity - humans crave choices. [/quote] If you knew that grocery stores had a profit margin of like 2% you wouldn't be saying this nonsense. But you don't even have a slight grasp of this situtation, other than virtue signaling.[/quote] The 2% profit margin is why food deserts exist. It’s a market failure - grocery stores won’t open up in areas where people are poor because the grocery margins are so low. You literally made the textbook case for government stepping in to fill the void of the market failure. Thank you. [/quote] Thank you! It's like they don't even hear what they are saying. People in these areas can't afford traditional grocery stores, so profits are even less. Hence, trying something different. [/quote] Maybe different should be lifting themselves out of poverty instead of fantasizing about an abundance of free and cheap? [/quote] Or we could tax billionaires and near billionaires a little more so that people can eat and afford to live. You know, the people that made these clowns billionaires in the first place.[/quote] So, they need somebody else’s money to buy food because they have spent their own money irresponsibly? [/quote] Do billionaires need constant tax cuts and government hand outs because they've been irresponsible with their money? Why are they the only ones allowed to expect something from their government?[/quote] a tax cut is not a handout. by the way, what do you think billionaires do with their money? [/quote] Buy yachts. It’s the only way to absorb the money. [/quote] Like the Russian oligarchs in Turkey and Cyprus! [/quote]
