San Francisco opened its first $5.5 million free food “market”, where approved residents can show a benefits eligibility card, put what they want in their carts, check out to keep track of outgoing inventory, and leave without paying.

The Bayview-Hunters Point facility aims to be a food pantry alternative that replicates the supermarket experience in an area where many grocery stores have come but few have remained due to high crime.

If there is no money in the “store” there might not be a holdup.

But cigs, makeup, and beer with be shoplifted like they are going out of style.

How will this store not be emptied the 1st day by mammas and bds loading up way more than their “need” so that the can sell it themselves?

This is a supplemental source for food. Food stamps should be the primary source.

Maybe a job is the primary source?

I’ve been saying this for years now:

There is a reason they are building all these mega-warehouses, and they are planning government-controlled goods distribution.

As long as you have your government issued “eligibility card”.
And you can bet the criteria will include so-called “social credit”.

Maybe the local Walmart will see a drop in attendance because the shoppers will be going there instead?

It will be soon emptied, why not? have you ever seen anything given away free that wasn't exploited including the salvation of Christ?

“Free” stores are a deception. It’s not free. People who have honest, legitimate jobs pay.

All to get the populace dependent on the government for food.

Didn’t Saddam do the same? Give people a one month supply of food every month and God help you if you were found with more?

Does it strike anyone else as odd that the “free” food market is going to cost taxpayers $5 million?

Like free anything, someone has to pay for it.

Creating and enhancing the existential need for government by a large enough portion of the population is an absolute requirement for Socialism to triumph. Once enough of the population is totally dependent on government for their survival, the government czars can then begin to confiscate private property and implement sufficiently onerous regulations to make private enterprise all but impossible. CA is circling the toilet.

While reading that article, I thought the same thing.
After watching a YouTube video on Idaho potato farmers and how the state government told them they couldn’t have water to irrigate their crops, but not UNTIL AFTER they
spent thousands per acre and planted the potatoes, only to dry up in the fields.
