So Mamdani's idea was not even new, and took it from the military? What was all that fuss about supposedly communist run groceries?

    Because benefits people at the cost of corporations.

    At least with DeCA there is a stone wall of needing to not die during service to access it. So it doesn't threaten corporations as much.

    But, if you die your family gets commissary access for life...

    As long as you stay near a base. Cheaper to pay more at whole foods than drive to the closest Commissary.

    What really matters is the exchange and tax free on big appliances.
