    only forbes could write an article titled “Why New Yorkers Voted For Public Grocery Stores, Explained” where the only quoted new yorker is a billionaire grocer with a link to fox news

    ffs, please leave your apartment for two seconds and talk to people, literally anyone. a couple of “I’M TIRED OF PAYING OUT THE ASS FOR BREAKFAST” would go a long way but i guess i dunno what i expected from forbes

        Yeah a good journalist isn’t going to draw conclusions for you. Worth pointing that the author mentions how popular the idea is among the people, and the only opposition he cites is from a billionaire grocery chain owner as he specifically mentions in the article. Most readers will spot that not only does this person have an interest in this program not succeeding, but has probably never been in a situation where he has to worry about his next meal.

      Schweizer is about as left as it gets for high level analysis of the grocery industry unfortunately. He’s supportive of the measure to be clear. Idk if he lives in NYC though.
