Will government funded grocery stores have less drama than the co-op grocery stores?

Will government funded grocery stores have less drama than the co-op grocery stores

I don't know what this means but we've had govt funded grocery stores before. They will mostly consist of shittier cheaper products lines, less organic, less protein type variety foods than you're going to get at a Whole Foods.

It really would be better to just up the doses of what we pay people via SNAP than offering lower tiered food options at a loss that is just going to separate poor people from the rest. And if they actually make a profit, then they just become another grocery store which is why the whole ****ing thing is just a racket.


Inside joke:

One final thought—the nearest I’ve been to NYC is the Philly airport—is that there is no disputing what a POS Andrew Cuomo is, .

I don't see any chance that city-run grocery stores will operate at a profit unless they fail at their stated purpose (i.e., providing access to low-cost groceries). Grocery store margins are very thin.

I could definitely be wrong, but I think Mamdani's proposals like city owned utilities and free buses/childcare, govt funded grocery stores would be less likely to trigger a budget shock than some massive California style program because it's still asset based and scalable as opposed to ongoing external funding. If it works and the people like it then great, if not, I don't th

It depends on the amount of debt to which you have access. I agree that implementation of these things would be scaled.

Bolded is why Mamdani won. People hate Cuomo.


Instead of outing Jay Jones during the woke times and having him banished to the shadow realm for all eternity they kept his texts in their pocket and tried to release it at a time after it was too late for him to be replaced by someone else on the ticket. They only reason for releasing it was to spike the election. Well, they waited too long, and woke is gone, and now they are very angry.

They are also relentlessly lying but thats par for the course

Yesterdays results do give me hope that Twitter is mostly an isolated bubble, where everyone thinks they are the most important person in the world, but nobody outside their bubble is seeing any of it.

Yeah and if it was on the reverse side the Dems would have done the same thing and screamed for a resignation . I remember when they ousted Al Franked for a stupid joke picture . They have shown they have no morals like the other side. This wasn't some kid with old texts and texts require which ever party to walk away .

Though you are right the strategy failed


Look at these scumbags — in the car with guns with a baby in the back.

I bet kidnapping a toddler made them feel like really big bad men.

Yeah man, we have the most corrupt official of all time dictating a culture of divisiveness and unaccountability at the top. Do you expect morals to flourish in that environment?

Yall want to be bullies and rig the system then cry foul when your opposition rolls in the mud. Welcome to the world you've created.


I'm sure you can imagine the types of things being said about womyn on twitter right now

Women will never be more than DEI birthing vessels to the right and this will never be a popular stance with women

It’s not the world I created it’s the world Trump started and Biden contributed and now Trump has pushed it over the edge

It’s kinda funny in California we’re a republican created the independent election committee so Gerry Mandering could not happen yet it’s Gavin Newsom dismantling the system now


Newsome is directly responding to Trump (illegally) telling Texas to gerrymander and then Texas following through with that demand.

WHOOPS!

And while I don't support the corruption, I understand why its happening and the causal effect chain that lead us here. I really don't know what you expect to happen. The left just sits there and takes it relentlessly?

So it's OK for Texas to do it illegally, but CA legally putting it on the ballot and letting voters decide (like they did w/ the previous independent committee) is not ok?

You know you just sound like a fascist right?

If Republicans didn't unconstitutionally gerrymander their states into jigsaw puzzles, they would never hold the house. ever. Do you understand this?

What about the time your boy Trump raped his wife?


^^^^ This does a good job of rating the map.

Princeton Gerrymandering Project simulation found:

Under neutral maps, Democrats would have won the House in 2012, 2016, and 2022, 2024 where outcomes favored Republicans or were razor-thin.

Get ****ed, dude. You didn’t just ask for this, you demanded it.

Don’t pretend to take the high road now after years of wading in the mud.

No you shut the fxxk up. I have been clear all along if I was an American I would have never voted for Trump but I could never have voted for Kamala . So I would have stayed home or voted for a third party

I Have also said Biden accomplished a lot in his presidency though I did not agree with some of his policies .

I credit trump on immigration and a few other issues but sadly the tariff policy may crash your economy

I just cant stand the lefts hypocrisy and some of their stupid policies they just will not abandon . They can keep doing what their doing and say hello to President Vance in 2028

I do indeed recall you saying this on several occasions, but I don't believe you.

Anti-gerrymandering never works if it’s not unilateral. It’s not surprising that Republicans would be anti-gerrymandering in a situation where they are the minority.


How can anyone older than 21 think politics is real? Both sides are criminals stealing from the public. They don't even hide it. Your "President" is in the WWE hall of fame inducted by vince mcmahon himself. Things are going to keep getting crazier until even the sleepiest of you wake up.
