The govt. stores will founder, while the privately operated stores will "unfairly" thrive, so the govt. will be "forced" to expropriate and/or shut them down.
"Atlas Shrugged."

If it ever gets to that point: They would "deal with it" by smugly smiling and pronouncing it a full success!
And anyone who disagreed would simply "vanish."

The LAST thing these tyrants want is “longer life span, better educational outcomes, and lower rates of disease”
Food will be denied to progenitors of disinformation.
Grocery stores operate on a 2% profit margin. Throw in the Davis-Bacon Act, union wages, bureaucratic red tape, political favoritism, and some politician skim. How much will that now rotten tomato cost?
I can’t wait to see them treat retail the same way they approach governing. Raise the prices (taxes) to increase revenue, or reduce prices (taxes) to increase sales.
Will the security guards be allowed to stop shoplifters or will they just be there to hold the door for them?

“It is an abomination to think that 10 miles from Englewood people are living twenty years longer because they have access to things they need,”
“a municipally owned grocery store”
i.e., Communist-style long lines, empty shelves
Oh, the stupid, it hurts so bad.....
Isn’t that what the Soviet Union had during its lowest most depraved period of totalitarian rule?
Nope--the democRAT 'Wasteland' is only getting bigger.
It won't be identified as "stealing".
The government will use some other mambo-jumbo words to justify it.
Words like "equity", "inclusion", "investment"
When you elect black democrats to run the city or state you are putting the fox in the henhouse.

Smart cities.
“YAY! FREE FOOD!”
Let me explain to you what happens when a peasant steals from the government
Bernie told us that we don’t need 23 choices of deodorant, 18 choices of sneakers when kids are going hungry.
My crystal ball shows empty store shelves.
All part of the plan - bankrupt industry and the middle class, nationalize everything, usher in the utopia.
Well, utopia for the ruling class, for the rest not so much.
Isn’t that called a food bank?
Oh, that’ll be a great success. The government has always proven such a great success at running retail businesses....
And the Chicongo residents will surely show their respect for the government stores that they will refuse to rob, shoplift and loot them.
The feral youth gangs and other assorted criminals have caused stores to close down. But we aren’t allowed to say such things.
That's a good idea. No one would shoplift from a city owned grocery store.
