CNN always wants to say left-wing radicals are less radical than you think, according to "some experts." They're never going to perform that trick for conservatives. CNN reporter Nathaniel Meyersohn attempted to mainstream socialist New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s demented push for government-owned grocery stores.
As if anyone needed another reason to make like a banana and split from the decrepit Big Apple.
Meyersohn celebrated Mamdani’s lunatic “plan to create a network of city-owned grocery stores” in a June 30 so-called news item. Meyersohn gaslighted readers by claiming Mamdani’s state-run supermarket was “less radical than critics portray,” according to “experts” he found to make his point.
The CNN reporter acknowledged that the proposal was being “blasted as a ‘Soviet’ style disaster-in-waiting,’ ‘farcical’ and ‘economically delusional,’” but he then took a detour straight into the logical toilet. “But Mamdani is drawing on government-owned and subsidized models that already exist in the United States,” Meyersohn chirped.
Same energy: Government rationing is just the spider’s ankles! Just ask Venezuela or Cuba! CNN’s post of Meyersohn’s story on X is in the middle of getting ratioed straight to hell.

Their ignorance is by design.
Agree. Article SAYS there are successful govt run grocery stores in US
But conveniently doesn’t name them
We had state run liquor stores here in Washington up until 10 years ago or so.
It was a joke. They didn’t use up to date tech for cashiering and debit/ credit card transactions
I learned from friends that there was a secondary market in food stamps back in the early 1970’s. Food stamp recipients would sell their stamps for cash and the new buyers would use those stamps to buy expensive meats etc.
Why? Does he expect all of the NYC Costcos, BJ’s and Stop and Shops (just 3 examples) to close up if he gets elected? Or are Costco and BJ’s too difficult to steal from?
My wife worked with a woman who came here from Russia about 20 years ago. She was still amazed that you could go into a grocery store at all hours of the day and buy anything you want.
So, suppose they had city owned grocery stores. They will still have to pay the suppliers for their wares or they won’t have anything to sell...
unless
...soylent greeen
If you like the city owned subways, you’ll love city owned grocery stores.
I will bet that even the commissaries on military bases are run by private contractors.
“CNN Defends Socialist Mamdani’s Insane Proposal for City-Owned Grocery Stores”
that’s because CNN shops in Atlanta grocery stores ...
it’s possible that the crowd that would like to try to steal from Costco, BJ’s, Sam’s Club, and Krogers with private security guards, will migrate to easier-to-steal-from government grocery stores ... almost a win-win situation ...
They're too stupid to believe it. They'd say it was Russian disinformation.
“Most people would agree that Florida’s state services are superior to what NY provides, but at less than half the cost.”
so the question then is who wins . . .
Florida Man or Manhattan Man?
The heat makes folks a bit more freaky, so FL gets the prize.
Ahhhhhhhh, but this regime will implement a faithful implementation of a socialist government-run grocery store. Big difference.
Zohran’s grocery store idea isn’t as radical as it sounds. Many examples of government-owned or subsidized groceries in US https://t.co/ldMDfnDqIn— Nathaniel Meyersohn (@nmeyersohn) June 30, 2025
Government run grocery stores worked so well in Soviet Russia and Cuba. If you ever been in a government run liquor store you have an idea how bad the government is in running any business
OUR FED GOVERNMENT TOOK OVER THE MUSTANG RANCH BROTHEL IN N NEVADA....UNPAID TAXES AS I RECALL.
ANYWAY: THE FEDS COULD NOT RUN A BUSINESS THAT SOLD BOOZE & SEX UNDER CONTROLLED CONDITIONS PROFITABLY & THEY CLOSED IT DOWN.
Empty shelves, crappy products, commies are idiots.
