The affordable grocery store thing is a hoot.
It’s on a government owned property, so no taxes, etc.
Only certain items will be sold below retail pricing.
Anyone else remember a meme from a while back that explains the difference between socialism and capitalism using bread in a grocery store...
In a socialist economy, you line up for bread at the store.
In a capitalist economy, the store lines up the bread for you.
BTW, for folks who don’t follow NYS politics...
NYC is billions in the hole.
NYS is billions on the hole.
Both want federal bailouts.
After hearing that, at least one of our Upstate major metros wants a bailout, too.
FYI...
And the first one is supposed to open in 2029.
That's a good one (though I prefer NOT to use the commie term: 'capitalist'- just a minor quibble)
...but I laughed at yesterday's BB headline (paraphrasing)
Mamdummie announces the gov't store will be ready to open in 3 years, and advises people to get in line NOW!
Boy, I laughed pretty hard at that one.
And Bernie Sanders once said lining up for bread is a good thing.
