This is my Take too. It is good to ensure people have access to necessities. It is extremely not obvious that loss leading state owned grocery stores are the best way to do that but not so entirely obviously a bad idea that it's not worth trying. Trying is what Mamdani is doing, so fair play to him.
post malone ergo propter maloneI am pretty skeptical that the city-run groceries are going to be a W but like, that’s the point of pilot programs, if they work well we figure out how to scale and if they don’t then oh well. pretending like they’re an *obvious* or common-sense W is just idiocy though
