because socialism is an inefficient failure. it only "works" until you run out of rich people to rob to pay for it. we have EBT in NYC- cash grants to the poor to buy groceries work just fine

The funny thing is that I think a lot of this shit doesn't even make a difference w.r.t. votes. Voting is basically just a population headcount now and a growing % of the population of NYC is incapable of understanding conditionals or second order thinking. Maybe it's necessary for Mamdani to hold off any potential adversaries to his left from within the DSA.

My bigger sense is that this probably just makes DSA activist types feel like they're "doing something" so they can avoid self-reflection and any requisite steps towards improving their own stead (of which step #1 would be leaving NYC for somewhere else and learning an actual skill).

Profit margins for grocery stores are around 2%. These stores will operate at a loss. To the extent they dont, it is only because they are exempt from tqxes and use ciry owned property....but the government is losing tax and rental revenue so it is still a loss.

Police coverage is not an excludable rivalrous good. Selling excludable rivalrous (finite) goods at a loss leads to shortages via waste and underproduction. This is why non-excludable non-rivalrous goods are called "public goods"

Problem: greedy corporations exist that make profit from selling food, which is a Human Right. Nobody should profit from a Human Right

Solution: sell at a loss using public subsidy, putting grocery stores out of business and bringing more of the economy under the wings of the public sector.

the stores will always be low on food

selling at a loss is obviously a terrible strategy, so when they run low on stuff they will have to wait a week to restock to slow down how much they lose

shrinkage will be an issue; obviously the post and daily news will be chomping at the bit to see how they deal with it

staffing will also be lol. presumptively they will be paying people 30 dollars and hour or whatever and not be able to really fire anyone, although again if they don't have much food to sell it's not like they need to do much "work"

either that or it will be a YUGE success its 50/50

Even a 5% drop in revenue will drive some groceries out of busines given the razor thin profit margins.

It's a sliding scale. The more money they sink into the effort, the more business they'll take from the stores, and the more they'll further the goal of driving the groceries out of business. The less money they sink into it, the quicker the shelves will go bare and the less effective theyll be at the ideological goal. But the losses will be more scandalous and less sustainable. Worth watching how they navigate this.

loooool!

the people who have the funds to shop at Whole Funds won't give a shit about a government grocery store.

The purpose of a public option is to give people a lower cost option instead being held by the balls by GC.

Because a Gov't owned grocery store doesn't need to produce a profit.

Thus, food will be cheaper.

Did I make that clear enough you dumb faggot?

Majority of a major need, like food, should not come from a handful of companies. Its not about the # of brands u legit retard.

Those few companies will often control 80%+ of a market, often just a few (2-4) of them controlling 80%+.

A more competitive market will have say the top few controlling under 50% of the market.

Kroger's net profit margin is approximately 0.71% over the trailing twelve months.

retard. its almost as if u need the costs of running a business to run a business. Just like costco charges a roughly 10-15% margin on its good, but breaks even on its stores and makes all of its profit off the membership fee.

Their overhead will be even higher because it will all be union labor paid prevailing wage, with 50% of contractors being minority or women owned enterprises, and everything ethically sourced and fair trade.

Here's how it will work. Once a month, our five city-run grocery stores will set prices for this core set of goods at 30% below typical retail prices. No exceptions, no gimmicks. The savings will last for the entire month. That means no weekly fluctuations or sticker shock at the checkout line—not for our seniors living on fixed incomes, nor for the parents who rely on a regular supply of apple slices to keep toddler tantrums at bay.
