The proposed city-run grocery stores in New York are a communist initiative that will result in price fixing, taxpayer burden, and the collapse of private grocery chains.

I mean, this is communism 101, right? Because, and what are they using as the impulse to actually talk about this now? The inflationary pressures coming from the Iran conflict that we're seeing, right? The price of oil, all these groceries are going up. And he's basically blaming Trump for that without saying it's like, oh, these inflationary pressures, everybody sees it, everybody knows it. So, therefore, we're going to have a grocery store run by the city. The reason this is so incredibly dumb is what causes inflation? It's inflation at the wholesale level, it's manufacturers, it's production, it's printing of money, right? To fund everything from wars to the entitlement state to everything, right? So, that's what causes prices to go up. And you have government coming into the food market, and imagine just a city administering a store. They have no idea even how to do it. No, they have no idea how to do it, but people are going to say, wow, this is great. We're going to have cheap grocery store prices. Like, who's paying for that, right? It's the taxpayers of New York City. So it's a secret tax, it's price fixing. It's absolutely price fixing. And this is communism. But what's this going to do? People are going to think they're going to get cheap groceries. No, if you actually have this store that has cheap groceries that are being paid for by taxpayer dollars, the normal grocery store chains are not going to be able to compete and they'll just shut down, right? Because Yeah, having cheap prices to the retail doesn't mean that wholesale prices, the producers, the manufacturers are going to have cheaper prices. So then what? You're going to have shortages. You're going to have no groceries available anywhere.
