Topic: Public grocery stores is the stupidest idea, and NYC voted for it. Margins on private shops are 1%..

Even if you socialized the industry, gave every penny going to capitalists back to the people, and didn't lose a speck of efficiency in business operations...
That's a 1% difference in grocery prices. That's the potential gain.
If it doesn't go well, we know what that looks like. Shortages, less selection, worse customer service, and prices that are competitive to the private market.
NYC is embarrassing itself, this is the time for Chicago or LA to attract the people that NYC loses.
