well, here we are. the sabotours are banging their shoes.
is it finally time to take care of the mess of Isreal and to free the people there from the odious dictatorial land grapping cult?
I heard that the 'free' grocery stores won't have anything that is free. I asked the Google AI about it.
City-Owned Public Grocery StoresWhat it means: A developing city initiative spearheaded by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani to establish permanently subsidized, city-owned supermarkets in each of the five boroughs.The Reality: These stores (such as the 20,000-square-foot location scheduled for the Peninsula campus in the South Bronx and another at East Harlem's La Marqueta) are not strictly "giveaways". Instead, the city waives rent and real estate taxes to slash overhead, allowing the stores to buy and sell groceries at cheaper, wholesale prices to combat rising food costs.
so basically it sets up stores that have unfair tax advantages that will probably put other stores out of business. why wouldn't they just wave those taxes for ALL groceries stores and then they wouldn't have to build anything, let the market take care of it?
my short answer to this: they want to put all the other stores out of business, and then they will have a monopoly of groceries and then they will jack up the prices.
