Date: July 29th, 2026 12:07 PM Author: Richard Ames I posted this in the other thread:
I keep thinking about this...how would this succeed at a bigger scale? Assume it were to take marketshare from private grocery stores. Does the government "scale up" this concept and open 20 stores? 100? 500? Where do the funds come from to support such an endeavor?
Further, what incentive do most food suppliers have to sell products in these gov't run stores? It immediately undercuts their other food store customers (all of whom operate on razor thin margins)...which could lead to the private grocers refusing to take the suppliers' products. (because why would you support someone who is working with another group to kneecap your business?)
A version of this already takes place with how food companies treat mainline grocers vs. dollar stores vs. warehouse concepts. There is far less choice in a dollar store relative to a traditional grocer...why would there be any more selection in a government run grocer that operates at a loss by design?
It would seem that the potential outcomes are:
a.) The Mamdani Marts fail out of the gate for a myriad of reasons.
b.) They succeed and scale up, putting traditional grocers out of business, and requiring massive public funds to operate.
c.) They continue to operate, but with minimal selection and poor quality products because of the above-discussed factors. And not "minimal" selection like at Whole Foods (fucking lmao at this comparison), but minimal selection as in how Cuba doles out food to people.
Finally, you have to just laugh at the idea that this will save an "estimated $1,000" per family per year. Less than $100 per month. If someone wanted to save $1,000 per year on food, they could make it happen in the snap of a finger. But no, we must create a Shitlib Rube Goldberg Device to do it for them. LMAO. |

Date: July 29th, 2026 12:28 PM Author: ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, isn't the better analysis that it's just a way for taxpayers to subsidize groceries and drive privately owned stores out of business? the cost of goods in Mamdani's stores will be much higher than the COG in bodegas -- but taxpayers will pick up the tab.

Date: July 29th, 2026 12:31 PM Author: Darnell why will the cost of goods be greater than at a bodega? aren't most bodegas independently owned and therefore have little bulk buying power? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5887350&forum_id=2#50031952) |

Date: July 29th, 2026 12:49 PM Author: ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, bodegas are driven relentlessly toward efficient sourcing.
Mamdani will have government employees running the program. because the low prices will be set by policy and subsidized by the taxpayers the Mamdani stores will tend toward very high COG.
am i wrong about that? |

Date: July 29th, 2026 12:41 PM Author: Richard Ames I understand this and argue that this is a likely outcome. What I am trying to understand is such a model could effectively scale up given it relies on limited taxpayer funds in order to operate. How does this model work when you scale to 25 stores? To 100? To 500?
I am not looking for the "communists seek to eliminate private property and privately-owned businesses" argument. I am looking for the practical argument from people who seem to earnestly support this endeavor.
Thus far all I get are "WHY ARE YOU SO MAD CONS?!?" I don't think anyone is mad. Speaking for myself, I am mostly perplexed. Hence my continued effort to have someone earnestly answer my straightforward questions. |
