New? North Korea, Soviet Union, etc...
It’s like these people assume NO ONE has ever read a history book.
Communism - the ultimate Bourg. Resistance is Futile.
Or is it? Jean Luc Picard is still out there where no one has gone before.
Reminds me of Mike Rowe’s great story about Soviet Leader Boris Yeltsin visiting a Randall’s Food store in Clear Lake TX.

Soon this mayor will recreate a little slice of the USSR.
“...explaining his plan to reduce price gouging...”
He still has to buy through the same wholesale and dealer pricing companies just like the private sector. The only advantage is the government can shelter a non-taxable status as long as it stays within state borders and the commerce isn’t effected. But the taxes will have to be applied at the end of the transaction at state level. They have to be called a commercial business and can’t legally have any advantage to sales as it creates conflict of interest if the funds leak in any way outside the work of the stores. And you know liberals can never do that.

That’s an interesting take. We may have ruined our food safety by being so efficient.
Most states don’t have taxes on food!!!
Pinhead comes to mind.
I didn’t see that much food on the shelves, when I was in East Berlin.
Is that vegetarian peanut butter on the shelf?
LOL
Who will pay for the supply of the merchandise?
Communism at its finest!
Sounds like a good idea Zohran. Wait until you see the lines stretching around the block.
And when theymget robbed blind by flash mobs, to compensate for their losses, they will raise taxes
lot of money to be made from out of control govt
Worked in Soviet Russia
Oh wait,...
American Socialists say “we’ll do it differently here and it will work”...
Socialists everywhere say that, it never does
Zohran Mamdani’s idea of government run grocery stores is an example of government run schools. A fail!
What a failure of academia in America. Wow.
Some people, you can tell them not to do stupid stuff, but they just have to go find out for themselves.
