The TRUTH About Zohran’s Supermarkets

I was an army wife for almost 15 yrs. Every post had a commissary, px and shoppex. Do t tell me the government cant provide those services. They just dont want to.

Socialism for the rich, rugged individualism for everyone else.

What kind of argument is "the soviet union had bread lines" during economic hardship when the US also had bread lines during the great depression?

I live in a food desert in a rural area. I have a large garden to supplement vegetables. I give away to neighbors what we can't eat. It is work to keep it going, but I use no pesticides or herbicides so I know it is healthy. Downside is we eat what is seasonal.

In a small town, a Dollar General can afford to run at a loss until the competition goes out of business, and then raise prices to make up for those initial losses.

Active duty military here, every base I’ve been on has a PX and commissary and I absolutely love them. They operate competitively but more importantly they provide an option in remote places that ordinarily wouldn’t have it.

People "at large" are going to shop at wherever is cheapest. Looking forward to see the experiment play out and see the budget impacts of it.

I think a lot of people don't realize that private businesses fail all the time at a high rate. Only a few of them survive long enough. I believe a pilot program that allows for increased price competition could help reduce costs for people in NYC.

I would never expect a government run service to run at a profit. It's value comes from providing for the community. Both with good food and jobs. Just like the post office. It's there to provide a service. Not a profit. The people of the US need to deprogram from the notion that government services need to monetarily compete with a for profit entity.
