“You cannot expect hard-working small business owners to compete with a supermarket that isn’t going to pay rent, won’t have to pay an electric bill and won’t have to buy their products at full price”
These “socialist stores” would be great if they were being used by those who truly can’t afford groceries and/or those living paycheck to paycheck but the main problem is EVERYONE will want the discounted price (who can blame them) and that’s where you start losing these small businesses, who already charge higher than average prices. It’s a good idea on paper but almost impossible to regulate for the people who really need it :/
WHAT A DELICIOUS SCHEME to divide and conquer....making enemies of neighbors and putting local entrepreneurs Out Of Business - - OMG, but aren't these Socialists clever ..... hey MAMDANI - how about just opening up a Soup Kitchen and You Can Volunteer To Cook ....... .........thank you Owen, blessings
Mayor Kufihead is a little rich boy who has only had money given to him, or either just asked daddy and mommy for something, then rode his horses or played games until it arrived. He's never worked for anything in his life...totally clueless about money.
Also, taxes on profitable businesses pays for socialist store subsidies. Mandani is a spoiled illiterate millionaire. Kick his sorry ass back to where he came.
The main caveats of socialism: in order to give someone something for free, you must first take it from someone else who produces.
Sooner or later you run out of other people's money.
Everything reverts to the mean, no more good, better, best.
It is the end of Justice, fairness, and equity.
Once you destroy productivity and exhaust the capital, there is no way back from the economic abyss.
Margaret Thatcher said it best. You can't make poor people rich by making rich people poor. The Communists know that. They're angle it's not to help the proletariat, it is power over the proletariat. They toss the meager alms from the balconies of their opulent Ivory towers to the common schleps kneeling below. Averice and envy replace honor and integrity which become thought crimes, then guilt and fear are the new rules of the game.
Lenin and Stalin, 59 million dead - Pol Pot, 4.5 million dead - Mao Zedong, 76 million Dead - Fidel Castro and Che Guevara, two and a half million dead. Pinochet and the other assorted South American murderers, 3 million dead. The story goes on, but the average idiot never learns. They'll vote people like Mondani in and then bend over for the Vaseline job coming their way.
Enjoy the " fruits" of your voting. Once you upset thd current balance that has existed for many decades, it will not be so easy to get it back.

They don’t need it. They already get welfare, snap, section 8, free internet and Medicaid .

And it doesn't help his argument when the few stores that he had converted by the owners are being looted every night. https://youtu.be/F14hzS6fUec?si=UcEqOWBVIyL78UyH
