Jush have the city pay Walmart for all their food and allow niggeRs to take what they want. They steal a lot there anyway.
It was tried and didn't work -

Jesus H, what the hell are democRAT run cities doing.
My folks risked their lives defecting from the USSR to escape state owned and run grocery stores.

Could you cut and paste the article? They want a subscription to read it.

I can't see it either, I just remember it happening and Googled for a link.
If there's one thing in life I avoid like the plague it's subscriptions. They keep sneaking the price up and up hoping you don't notice and if you go to cancel it's next to impossible. Any site that wants a subscription gets no clicks from me.
How would creating a government bureaucracy that owns grocery retailing benefit consumers?
I don't know enough about it to say it is good or bad. I am trying to understand the point of it.

It doesn't benefit consumers. It benefits low life trash who keep shoplifting until the regular grocery store is forced to close due to massive losses. The low lifes then start crying about the lack of grocery stores and the government sets one up to take it's place. Then they shoplift the government grocery store until it has to close too.

Why is it so fucking easy to steal from state owned grocery stores?

Because trying to stop them is racist and all that.

OMIGAWD! Do they only hire woke lazy white twits to work at them.
If New York actually elects this Mamdani, or whatever his name is, and goes forward with this grocery store plan, they will deserve the utter failure of that once-great city.
I still do not get the point of government owned grocery stores?
Are they supposed to have fresher produce and bread? Free range meat? Are they supposed to have less or no food with chemicals nobody can pronounce?
What is the reason that progtards are using that says government owned grocers would be better than Costco or Krogers?

It's not about being better, it's about being the only option. Regular stores get shoplifted out of business then lefties start crying about 'food deserts' and demand a government-run store to provide food. Which then get shoplifted out of business too.

I get it now. I read grocery stores are closing in Democrat run cities. Government alternatives will stay in business even if they are shoplifted empty everyday.
The bottom line is that putting the government in charge of food supply is a profoundly bad idea.

putting the government "in charge of anything" is a bad idea.... thats why i'm conservative.... i want a skeleton crew government.... watch other countries and don't waste my fuckin money....
The government has been shutdown for some 23 days and I have noticed no change in my life. Has anyone else felt the shutdown?
i don't think anyone "normal" is gonna notice yet.... but wait till the foodstamps get cutoff.... everywhere is gonna turn into GTA Vice City at the same time.... :crampe:

All I've noticed so far is some niggeRs threatening to steal. :popcorn: I sure hope niggers dont start stealing!!!!
the store we use is "democrat adjacent" so i went and bought me a nice 22 revolver for "getting my groceries home".... i have never had a desire to carry a pistol but the political/social climate is getting too extreme NOT to carry something....

i don't need anything more.... 22's are quick and quiet.... i don't want to draw a crowd and i don't wanna hit no bystanders.... i ain't no slouch at "one finger whoopass".... i can shoot that bitch in the eye from across the parking lot....

I guess when the judge asks "why do you carry 10mm with FMJ's" I'll say "cause I can hit multiple targets with each round!".

lmmfao.... our places are crowded.... not "big city" crowded but ppl like to stand close together and aren't as "situationally aware" as they should be.... a hot load from a 9 or 10 can easily hit someone behind the target.... 22's rarely ever leave the body and can kill relatively easy.... even if you just wound someone with a 22, it can be more painful than expected.... you get shot in the knee and it travels down your leg to pop out of your toe and rattle around in your shoe.... thats gonna take all the gas outta your tank and you're not gonna wanna play with me no more.... :crampe:

I gave away most of my rifles to my nephews. All I have now are a 270 and a 22. They will look after all the wild critters that come on my property without my permission.

i have shotguns all over the house.... even have a sawed-off under the seat of my car.... but i wanted to get a pistol for carrying around due to high tensions.... i'm not a fan of pistols and this is the first one i've paid money for.... but i'm happy with it....

I used to have three shotguns. I gave them to nephews.
I never had a handgun certificate. We call it a Restricted Possession and Acquisition License. They are not worth it in Canada. You can only use them at a gun range. And it gives the feds too much power to enter your home.
