Luther, fear not, the era of government-run grocery stores may not be as dead and buried as it seems. The city of Chicago — already doing such a terrific job on handling crime, poverty, homelessness, and unemployment — is exploring the possibility of establishing municipally owned grocery stores.
City officials contend that a city-run grocery store would be better because they wouldn’t have to worry about making money. And Mayor Brandon Johnson is enthusiastically embracing the idea...

Now, no doubt Chicago’s city-run grocery stores would have the same service, efficiency, and quality that Chicago residents have come to expect from the local government of a city ranked 149th in its financial stability, 67th in its education system, 71st in its health-care system, 80th in its public safety, 129th in the quality of its economy, or, credit where it’s due, 37th in its infrastructure and pollution.

only healthy food and vegetables, no soda or candy... right???
This is socialist democrats in 2023.
They think a city-run grocery store that “doesn’t have to worry about making money” is a good solution for the community and taxpayers.
My God. My sweet Lord.
One word for these grocery stores: COD.
Completion of the plan - full Soviet-style stores in the city...all the while as Russia is just the opposite now.
Free school breakfasts and lunches (year-round), for feeding your own children is the gubmints job. Natural next step is to just make it every meal for everyone.
The bugs in the free bags of flour and rice are a good source of protein
Where in the constitution does it say he’s permitted to do such an asinine stunt like this?!
This country is turning into Venezuela!
That’s exactly what the evil left wants.
Oh Man, I can’t WAIT to see this.
Brandon Johnson’s racial, ideological, socialist, government-run grocery stores in the ghetto
They ought to turn this s*** into a reality TV show!
It makes sense for the Democrats. Don’t worry about making a profit. Don’t even worry about breaking even. Theft losses are not a problem. Just increase the taxes on your few remaining dumb productive citizens and keep buying those votes from the criminal class.
My only question is who’s going to sell the commodities to this government store when they refuse to pay their bills?
Screw me once shame on you, screw me twice shame on me!

That’s essentially the arguement to push healthcare.
