More reason to remove drain revenue.

If you're thinking that means government run grocery stores are unrealistic keep in mind that they already exist for the military. They're called commissaries and they sell groceries for significantly cheaper prices than private grocery stores, but they are open only to service-members and their families. We are perfectly capable of providing robust social services, but the state wants to keep it exclusive so they have an incentive for people living in poverty to join the military.

Ah, the Mossad shill at it again...

Don’t change the subject. You didn’t ask for details. You said “so subsidized food?”, which is pointing out the obvious. Seems like you’re here to continue arguing instead of just googling the answer, so I’ll fetch the info for you and anyone else who might be curious:

Mayor Zohran Mamdani said during a press conference on Tuesday that New York City’s planned city-run grocery stores would not be traditional municipally staffed supermarkets. Instead, the city would own the land, cover major overhead costs and bring in a private operator to sell staple foods at discounted prices, starting with a Manhattan site near La Marqueta in East Harlem.

…

“The city will subsidize a core set of staples,” he said. “A private operator will run the store, but they answer to the standards that the city will set.” Those standards, he said, would mean lower prices on basics like bread and eggs.

You really can't be bothered to spend 30 seconds googling something?

If you're looking for specifics, you could have short circuited this whole thread by typing your original comment into a search engine, instead of posting it in a discussion forum

I‘m just asking a question.

I would like to know more about these groceries store plans.

Then why are you asking Lemmy instead of a search engine? Or just reading the mayor's platform?

only one you responded to was someone reacting negatively, yah your not good at hiding your bad faith.

“Just asking questions” can very easily come across in a way that you didn’t intend. Perhaps you were genuinely curious, but more often than not jumping into a controversial topic it can come across not as genuine curiosity and willingness to know more, but instead more like:

Well, good news then. Supply-side economics has failed.

It's not, it's relevant to the asinine aversion most Americans have to the idea.

Says the guy who is all over the thread shitting on the very idea that the poors should be allowed to eat.
