New Yorkers turned out big time to support Mayoral Candidate Zohran Mamdani's plans to open public grocery stores. Here's why the proposal is so popular, and so viable.
Grocers and media psychopaths aside I don’t really understand why people would think this is such a non-viable idea. It’s literally just a store that doesn’t need profit. If it makes them feel better maybe there can be a guy who stands at the front that they hand $100 bills to. He can wear a top hat and monocle and pretend he’s the owner.
I think most people actually don’t think its a bad idea at all. Which is shown by him winning the election. It’s just that most people don’t have a voice in the media.
The most common thing i hear from the average brainwashed person is “government cant run things” because they think the government is incompetent. This gets reinforced everytime politicians defund programs and they inevitably get worse
What’s funny is there are many examples of this working in walking distance from New York state, for example Quebec has the SAQ and SQDC which are small specific grocery stores that are state owned and sell marijuana and alcohol related products.
Btw the weed there cannot be beat. State approved highs are the best kind

While we are under capitalism, I want that job.

ooh! ooh! waves hand in air
