Holy shite. I thought that was The Bee Video - This guy needs to take his commie arse back to Cuba

Gubmint gone bring down those fat grocery margins.

Just open a non profit co-op grocery.
If the city owns it they will make it worse.

He likes empty shelves and long lines.

We have government run grocery stores already. They are called commissaries. Other than some sales and maybe a few other items you aren't paying less than on the economy.

Did he say he will use corporate grocery chain profits to fund this?

I've seen the "government" owned grocery stores in Cuba, NYC deserves that

Grocery margins are the slimmest in all of retail. This is one of the dumbest ideas I've seen in a long time.
NYC want to bring down grocery prices? Stop dictating a ridiculous minimum wage, stop charging congestion taxes on delivery trucks, and stop some of the other cumbersome regulations that inflate your grocery prices. Government exasperated your problem and they won't be able to fix it with more government.

The US military commissary system charges a "tax" on each item purchased which goes to support the commissary system, i.e. it is not a 100 percent US Govt funded enterprise. The customers, i.e. the military folks, pay extra for commissary items due to this "tax".

It's about time somebody tried this.

Central planning has a great track record of success. I fully endorse this idea for the people of NYC.
Posted on 3/19/25 at 5:07 pm to DrrTiger
Oh wow. That's a great idea. Nobody's ever thought of that one.
Wonder how it will turn out

I hope it happens. I despise New York.

How many things have ever gotten cheaper by being government owned?
Posted on 3/19/25 at 5:16 pm to Champagne
Yeah, the surcharge.

Zohran Mamdani: As mayor, I will lower prices by making stores owned by the government
I would challenge him to provide one single example of something in America that became more cost-effective after becoming government-run.

Ohhhhhh.... Socialism? That dude should be on the next flight out with illegals who pose a national security threat.
