Jush have the city pay Walmart for all their food and allow niggeRs to take what they want. They steal a lot there anyway.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.
