It's as if they're responding with prerecorded texts.
>>539966274Tell me the prerecorded texts you've already heard so I don't bore you with answers you've already gotten
>>539966274It's not the price, it's the price control and monopoly. It'll turn to shit and nothing will be available in their stores. Many cities tried and all of them failed. I guess you can try one more time and fail just to confirm that it's fucking retarded.
>>539966274Prove to me the groceries there are fit for human consumption.
>>539966274>americans get stores with 30% cheaper groceries >op thinks this means americans dont like cheap groceries because obviously if you vote for something and get it then you dont like it
>>539966452>i-i-i-it will fail again then why don't you enjoy the show instead of reeing
>>539966503>>539966452Uh oh migger melty
>>539966274>Why do Americans hate cheaper grocery prices?All the groceries can be free - all the Fed has to do is insert $1000 into each and every tax payer's bank account each month.
>>539966274price controls don't work, the cheaper food items in those stores will always be 30% cheaper than the other store, so it will have the negative effect of not reducing the cost, which is the problem it's trying to solve
>>539966452I imagine if nothing is in their stores, it will be because they are being emptied out through excessive demand (potentially from arbitrage seekers).It won't be because there is not enough supply on the production end. After all, when you go to a regular mainstream grocery store and you buy the "store brand", that stuff is coming out of the same production facility as the name brand. The OEM supplier just wants to move the product. The store brand is cheaper because it doesn't have any marketing behind it and it doesn't need to pay for shelf space in its own stores.This is a similar concept, but it take it a step further by cutting out the shareholders and maybe rent but I'm not sure about that.I imagine the selection at these stores are going to be quite limited, as well. Plus so far they are only planning 5. Is it one in each borough, is that it? I don't know if I would go out of my way if one wasn't nearby, especially if they are going to be crowded from people trying to clean them out of meat.Like right now I have a few grocery stores near me. The closest one is the most expensive one, but I go there most of the time anyway.
>>539966274>chinks and jeets immediately buy out the entire grocery for their shitty restaurants
lol this dude is about to be killed.
>>539967065Ukraine status?
>>539967047I am enjoying the show. Retards have to learn the hard way and this is funnier than I expected it to be. Considering how many in NY fled socialism just to have locals dance the moron macarena and got Mamdani voted in.
>>539966407OP, according to this guy they hate it because their heada are up their assea.MAGA lives in the cuck chair.
>>539966274Aren't the profit margens of supermarkets already tiny? That store will just fail immediately.
>>539968943While their disillusionment can be funny, many of them won't show it out of pride.
i mean at least he is doing what he said he would doyou can like him or not but he is doing exactly what he said he would dounlike trump or any other politician
>>539969135They will never admit it. Usually the harder you lean into any one ideology, left or right, the more stubborn you will be when confronted with its limitations.>>539969243This is what I'm talking about.
>>539969135if it's state funded that means its just another tax it's profit margins are meaningless because it's subsidized by the tax payer not the consumer
>>539969152You can see it in their eyes and hear it in their cracking voices. It's fucking hilarious.
This is why socialism always wins unless the people voting have already lived under socialsm.Socialist: Free! Cheaper! Affordable!Me: Awesome, sounds good, how?Socialists: He's a nazi, arrest him!The grocery business is a high volume, low margin business. The average margins made on an item is around 5-8%, and that is at the market rate. It's great that you want to sell items at 30% under market, but you are then committing to high volume, negative margin, which means massive financial losses.Mamdani is going to pay private "businesses" to run grocery stores that by design will lose money. The only thing that matters now is who will Mamdani will bestow the blessing of being paid to run a failing business on. And don't get me wrong, Mamdani is smart. Sell unrealistic dreams to stupid poor people, and when those dreams turn to ash (because they are literally designed to fail), blame the private bourgeoise business people he chose to run the failing businesses for their failures.And this is all assuming any of the stores actually ever come to fruition. This may end up no different than California's high speed rail. "Why are conservatives against affordable, high speed public transit?!?"We're not, you just don't actually know how to deliver such a thing and waste literal billions on nothing.It's all so tiresome dealing with idealistic liberals who know zero about reality.
>>539969135Would you run a business year after year and expand at every opportunity where the profit margins were tiny? Think about it.
>>539966274Jew Yorkistan is not my problem. It's not anyone's problem except for theirs. Fuck that sandnighger. I hope they hang him once everything starts falling down
>>539969789yes in 2 more weeks nyc will fall apart you stupid christkike
>>539969855go starve in jew yorkistan just like chicongo.
>>539969923go to church and worship your faggot jewish rabbi
>>539969096Both parties are cucked for different parasites.
>>539969693Money is theoretically unlimited. There's no cap on the amount of dollars the US government has or can have. They don't ever need to get dollars from you. It's the other way around -- you need to get dollars from them.Now of course, NYC and California (and any other lower order of government) do not issue money, so they do have to use taxpayer funds. But that is more a product of a hostile federal government (and it is hostile to "red" states as well, since I understand you're tribal about these identities and hating liberals is how you bond with your wife's black son) that chokes the broader economy of liquidity because it is by and large run by people who think exactly like you do.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CI_HKotDHaUHere is seekrit mohammaden communist Barack Obama actually peddling the nonsense that the US is borrowing its own currency from China.
Fell for it again award
>>539966274>this is how it startsthe hubris behind saying a bunch of "yay free shit" after this, and not knowing the actual history is that you'll be starving at the end, is mindblowing
>>539966274Mamdani has done more than Trump has in 2 years
>>539969693My wife paid $23 for an esophageal procedure in Japan. Not being an insurance holder but being Japanese, she got stuck with 30% of the procedure cost. As an uninsured foreigner, it would have cost me $80. That’s only $5 more than I would have paid on insurance just to be referred by a specialist to get the procedure. Shit is unnecessarily expensive here and no one wants to change anything when they themselves have their fingers in the pie as well.
>>539970160correct. there is ton of parasitic drag in the US economy, largely being imposed by rentiers. one of the big lies about a nationalized healthcare system is that it would cost more money, when in fact it would cost less.
>>539966452You're just a hater. Go have a melty somewhere else
>>539966274>pay the government $10 in taxes>the government spends your money on a $10 pizza>sells the pizza to you for $7 (30% cheaper)>you now just spent $17 on a $10 pizzaBRAVO!
>>539967047>the us military can do it without hemorrhaging money (a military commissary is a grocery store that sells groceries at cost+a flat fee to soldiers)>iT wOnT WoRk iN AmErIcAIt's possible and already happening right now
>>539970099Suckered into that mindset that things have to remain expensive because communism. Wasn’t that actually a promise by the Right to the Right? Affordable healthcare, housing, reduced inflation and taxes? But to do so is socialism in its purest form. So yeah, let’s not change a thing and just keep propping up the wealthiest instead. Yay, capitalism!
>>539970617>taxes>government>central banking system>"cApItAliSm"
>>539970416It's not the taxpayers that are going to these grocery stores. It's the gibs who've never payed shit in taxes their entire lives. Quaydarius did not buy a $17 pizza; someone with a job bought Quaydarius a $17 pizza.
Got to struggle under the boot of the boomer.Seriously if your in New York make the most of this your tax's already paid for it.When it fails as socialism always does at least you wont be the dumbass who was paying the multimillionaire Jewish boomer an extra $20 a week to "help the totally not rigged economy".
>>539967586>arbitrage>produceThis has to be a new low.
>>539970678Correct. Democrat policies increase the price of everything for everyone.
>>539970416Your math is a bit off as literally millions of taxpayers covered that $10, not just you. So yeah, you’re paying $7.0001 for that $10 pizza. Thanks for playing.
>>539970656It's amazing how people are so determined to prove their stupidity.Free market capitalism doesn't have central banks that interfere, tax breaks for old people that aren't means tested or excessive tax in general. Heck if was up to me income tax would be gone and company tax would be capped at 10%.
>>539969135>That store will just fail immediately.No, the city will just write checks to balance their books. Lots of nigger infested cities do this to keep traditional grocery chains and pharmacies and such from just abandoning ship. Seems like NYC probably has deep enough pockets to do this for a while and I'd imagine people who are well connected with the democrat party will insert themselves as the middlemen and commissars in charge of subsidized food stores. >>539969693>And this is all assuming any of the stores actually ever come to fruition.A very solid point. I'd imagine we first need to set up a new government agency for the initial planning and focus groups to discuss the impact on under-served minorities, you'll need lots of studies and reports to be done. This will likely cost a hundred million before they even buy a square foot of real estate to actually build a store on. >>539970026>There's no cap on the amount of dollars the US government has or can have.So why the fuck is this guy only giving us 30% off on ground chuck when he could be just buying us all king crab legs and Kobe beef for free? That's kind of greedy of him.
>>539969740Nigger logic. .001% is small, so .001% of a trillion is nothing too.Grocery margins are about $.02 on average for every dollar of sales. Nigger steals a $1 apple and you have to make another $50 of sales to make up for it.
>>539969740They are tiny, on each food item. Those add up, because it's a grocery store and they move tons and tons of product every day, that's where the money comes from. Same thing if I collected soda cans, and all my costs associated with it cost me 9 cents/can, so I have a tiny 1c profit on each can. That aint shit. But if I can move 100k cans a day, consistently, damn right I'm going to be expanding operations every chance I get. This gov run grocery store OBVIOUSLY sells at a huge loss, but it doesn't matter, because the gov is supplementing funding it, which means the tax payers are paying money for groceries they're not going to be eating at this point.
>>539970797Great. So you admit everything will be 170% more expensive. Nice self own.>>539970832>capitalism>taxesYou're already wrong.
>>539970793It’s two years into our current conservative administration and lookie here, prices are still going up.
>>539966274>responding with prerecorded textsThey are. One of the things I've never gotten used to about US society (it happens in other places, but to a lesser degree imho) is that people online have a very strong tendency to argue by quoting, which is why meme culture took off the way it did. Not quoting like "[famous quote here]" but just directly quoting stock phrases or lines they find significant with no indication that t's a quotation. I think this is the result of growing up watching too much TV and the dramatic posturing/ snark/ sarcasm that obtains in TV drama and comedy, where characters recite what would be incredibly cringe dialog in real life but is made to seem profound by lighting, camera angles etc.. and you can see how it leads to Main character syndrome. I believe the Japs call it middle school syndrome but expect people to grow out of it.
>>539970985Great. The highest inflation in over 40 years happened under a democrat president called Bidenflation.
>>539967586>(potentially from arbitrage seekers).Are you gonna buy sidewalk steaks from some guy in a trenchcoat to avoid lining up in the city grocery store? doubt itCorner store owners etc. already have access to even cheaper prices via wholesalers, why would you buy stuff in the city store at ~30% below typical retail if you can get it at ~60% below retail from commercial business-to-business vendors who give you credit as long as you spend a minimum $5k a month or whatever
>>539970485You know that's because those stores also get the products from their manufacturers for cheaper than regular grocery stores do, right? Y'know, because they're supply to the fucking government and that's the entire point of the deal?
>>539970416There's no need to fund the supermarket with any taxes.If you sell stuff at cost, it'll be cheaper than a for-profit supermarket and it'll basically fund itself.
>>539970845>Seems like NYC probably has deep enough pockets to do this for a whileThey just had to borrow billions from the state government to balance their budget for the year, along with shifting some pension obligations into the future. It all has to be paid back at some point, and now he wants the taxpayers to subsidize government run stores. It's fucking stupid. Just expand WIC or SNAP benefits, it would be a more efficient use of money.
>>539970845>So why the fuck is this guy only giving us 30% off on ground chuck when he could be just buying us all king crab legs and Kobe beef for free? That's kind of greedy of him.Because real resources are not unlimited, though they are often far, far less scarce than capitalists claim and often conspire to maintain. After all, the only reason you want money is to trade it for real resources. Mamdani is also not in charge of government as a currency issuing level -- that would be Congress, which is full of Randy Fines and Mike Johnsons and Bernie Sanders (who never met a socialist program he wouldn't torpedo with an tax hike it doesn't require).
>>539966274Grocery stores make slim profits. The food wholesalers make many times what they do. Mamdani's action is wasteful of taxdollars and performative.
>>539971579The debt of every State could be cleared or paid down with per capita dispersal payments from the currency issuer, the Federal government.
>>539970909imagine believing this horseshit
>>539971669all you jews are fucking liars
>>539970909That $1 is the final price of the apple, not the actual cost which is much less than the low low price of $1.Also, stores have stock loss insurance for stolen and damaged food that is based on the sell price rather than the actual price. Every item lost or stolen is a sale as far as they are concerned.That .02 is profit after all expenses are paid off, many items are marked up 30-50% which cover the actual costs associated with an individual sale. I’m guessing this is where the government run stores are getting that 30% reduction in price while still having the 20% gross profit per item. Stores like this will probably have a low overhead for property rent and taxes, no budget for advertising or franchise fees. Basically utilities and labor though there are otherwise maintenance fees, cleaning fees, etc. Stock sold to the government are generally untaxed, low delivery fees. You won’t be paying for name brands but rather generic brands contracted from big name brand manufacturers. Lots of savings on stock purchase. Let’s be realistic here. People already have EBT benefits. Why not paying in discount government stores in lieu of make more sense.
>>539971754Grocery store margins are usually around 1-2%. And don't bother bringing up high end places like Whole Foods. Most lower and middle class people don't shop there.
>>539971827>many items are marked up 30-50% which cover the actual costs associated with an individual sale. I’m guessing this is where the government run stores are getting that 30% reduction in price while still having the 20% gross profit per item.You don't know what the fuck you are talking about. Kill yourself you lefty faggot nigger.
>>539970974Your maths blows goats. I pay a tiny amount of taxes (one of millions actually) that go toward a ten dollar pizza (probably less as it includes a profit in that sales price of $10). I am offered that pizza for a mere $7. That’s a three dollar savings (-29.999% if you include my infinitesimal amount of taxes I contributed to the original pizza bill).
>>539972190You're too stupid to realize you're double dipping into paying for the same item twice. You already paid taxes which was spent on food. That means you should get it for free. But no, you're so stupid you're now paying 70% more for it.
>>539971579>They just had to borrow billions from the state government to balance their budget for the year,I'm sure the state will have more next year to bail them out again. >>539971585>Because real resources are not unlimitedSo just print more money. Damn you're dumb as shit. >>539971827>stores have stock loss insurance for stolen and damaged foodReally? So when Tyrone walks out the door with a couple hundred bucks worth of diapers, laundry detergent or whatever else he can re-sell to the Haji bodega the store just gets on the phone with the insurance company that cuts them a check?
>>539966545how can socialists create money out of thin air but capitalists can't? this is great news. i hope this is just the beginning, maybe they could open a car lot and electronics store too with 30% cheaper prices? maybe even a gas station?
>>539972019You seemed to be a little bit more confused than me. A 2% mark up wouldn’t even pay for the transportation of that $1 apple let alone the storage, advertising, name brand cost, labor associated with the sale of that apple. It’s actually 2.1% but it requires a 30-50% mark up to handle that apple right up to the moment it sells.
>>539971827>Let’s be realistic here. People already have EBT benefits. Why not paying in discount government stores in lieu of make more sense.>lets be realistic here. Let’s expand these systems which exclude men and White people by definition, because that’s all leftist shit here ever is I don’t think you guys appreciate how much no one will believe you about anything until you publicly address why leftism and the establishment Dem party has been so anti-male and ethnic European for decades. You’re appealing to some high trust system your types already destroyed by hating on us like evil demons for decades. Why would I want people like you in charge of grocery stores and my access to food? You hate us and always have.
>>539972362Exactly, these places will be awful anyway, because people will steal a ton of the stuff.
It's almost not worth discussing.He'll do it, it will fail, and then the left will ignore it, deflect, blame on X or Y, but overall, never will they alter their ideological view. They have started with the conclusion that socialism/communism works, and so every attempt which produces a failure simply means it wasn't real socialism/communism.Enjoy your poverty.
>>539972362>So just print more money. Damn you're dumb as shit.You can create more money, but if it's not being directed to spur actual production it won't create additional supply.
>>539972382That’s the problem. Capitalists are having no problem taking large profits right now. See how well our economy is doing especially the DOW. The wealthiest are having no problems getting wealthier but they only make up a small percentage of the overall population. There are far more out there deciding on whether they should be paying for the meds or feeding their families.
>>539972495Your definition of anti- male, which has nothing to do with the price of rice in China— means that white males are forced to be respectful towards other people. Fucking cry me a river, Snowflake.
>>539966274Why don't you move to the DPRK if you love socialism so much?
>>539971428>supply to the government is cheaperyou clearly never worked in acquisition
>>539972756>paying for the medsit always struck me as odd how commies are ostensibly opposed to capitalists but are also their biggest cheerleaders and defenders when it comes to pills
>>539966274Just like the grocery stores in North Korea, they will only be open for press events.
>>539973103>the majority of americans are choosing between paying for medication and paying for foodthis is untrue in a myriad of ways but i'll just focus on the most obvious one. if you don't pay for meds, you die.if you don't pay for food, you die.from a pure physiological reality its impossible for these people to be choosing between two different life saving things because they would be dead and not there to make the decision thereafter. if they're alive it proves that either A) they got enough food they need. or B) they got the meds they need.
>>539972939That’s actually nationalist socialism.What do you have against an affordable standard of living in the United States. Why should just the wealthiest amongst us own property and then bleed you dry on rent that is 30% than a mortgage would be if you were purchasing that same home? What if home ownership for profit became a burden? Would there be more homes available at a more affordable rate? What if the government did exactly as the big box stores did, forcing their competitors to sell at competitive prices or find themselves out of business? They would survive but the profit margins would be a bit more reasonable.
I don't think people of the left understand that if what Mamdani was proposing, a grocery store able to turn a profit while offering their goods at a 30% under market rate, that literally every capitalist business person would be rushing to replicate that business model.I am actually in the process of opening my own grocery store in my hometown, just signed and LOI with a major real estate developer, and what he is proposing is simply not possible based on EVERYTHING I have researched. There is simply no way to enter a market and run a sustainable business selling items 30% under market, it simply cannot be done. Unless of course you have unlimited taxpayer funds to burn ad nauseum.If there is a way to make a profit while selling at under 30% tell me, and I will replicate this socialist grocery store in the reddest city in the reddest state in America. Please, tell me the secret, I would truly love to know.
>>539972921>means that white males are forced to be respectful towards other peopleinb4 anon realizes what dei initiatives are and why nigger welfare moms get billions of ebt every year to shit out more niglets while whites are forced to actually labor for their wealth
>>539966274The market exists independently. You cannot artificially make goods cheaper without devaluing your currency further, leading to a spiraling effect.
>>539967065Rentfree
>>539966274He's using tax money to cheat. You are going to lose food access because of this because he isn't subsidizing production. That has its own problems. This is just a price ceiling with the difference covered by taxes. There is no infinite money. Nor infinite resources. Private companies will have to close up. You won't learn because you hope to destroy the private sector so you can rule the public sector by decry and force. I hope your dupes figure it out before they have to watch their language in your presence.
>>539973103It’s quite simple. Healthcare is universal. Something that everyone needs but is basically given to the highest bidder at the expense of everyone else. Why is the Right so obsessed with the same ol’ memes: trannies, communists, fentanyl, gays. Fear mongering to keep your base in line because you’re a fucking joke to most of the US people right now. Trump’s at like, 25% liked now. Eventually those little snowflakes are going to lose interest in being sidelined and laughed at as party of incels and memes.
>>539972601It's likely not even one of them will open and the 70 million will all be absorbed by environmental impact studies, feasibility studies, focus groups, and 100 other bureaucratic grifts. >>539972756>The wealthiest are having no problems getting wealthierYou are 100% free to get a job and invest in the DJIA or any other stock or index you like. Why aren't you getting wealthier right now?>>539973372>Why should just the wealthiest amongst us own property65% of Americans own their own home. >and then bleed you dry on rent that is 30% than a mortgage would beHow much are you paying for rent? Why not just get a mortgage if that's cheaper?>>539973423>a grocery store able to turn a profit while offering their goods at a 30% under market rate, I think the only metric of success is just selling things at a 30% loss. So there is zero incentive for anything but setting this up to be a giant loss. The bigger the loss, the better it looks when you tell everybody how important your subsidy was to fight food equity or racism or whatever.Again, the "win" here, if this ever opens is simply to show a giant 30% loss to prove how much you're helping people.
>>539966274in new york where apartments cost 30 million this is kind of a joke.
>>539972495>he makes it about race & gender againSigh.>literally any issue>"Actually this boils down to anti-white and anti-masculinity activities.So tiresome.
>>539973348That’s because you’re probably an autis man-child still living at home where such decisions don’t currently apply. So it makes no sense to you. Often the decision involves going without your meds for a bit, or living off cheap garbage masquerading as food. No, you’re not going to die in the interim but in some cases, you’re going to wish you could. Sometimes it’s just a matter of not paying that payment on the car repair, not sending your kids out to the movies with their friends, walking instead of taking the bus; there’s an infinite amount of financial compromises the poor man makes to get by. Compromises the wealthy could never conceive of because, well, why should a man ever have to compromise?
But I live 3000 miles away from Jew York Shitty. Why should I care?
>>539973647How is there no infinite money? Whenever the banks etc fail there's always money for them.
>>539973745>It’s quite simple. Healthcare is universal. Something that everyone needsi know it can't be easy to realize since you're being fed propaganda about it everywhere you go but pills and drugs are not medicine is not healthcare, they're pills and drugs>muh left vs right>muh buzzwordsget off your meds
>>539974124On what drugs are you dependent?
>>539974124I have a job so I don't have to worry about being a fat chud whos going to die without ozempic and pop tarts, sorry faggot.
>>539972756Grocery store sell by volume, their profit margins are ridiculously small.You get taxed more by the city and then you have to still pay for their "reduced" prices. Only niggers and non-taxpayers can't see the hustle being played.
>>539973348Quality point.
>>539973423That Mamdani model may include purchasing generic brands and minimal advertising- both of which take a toll on cost of the final product. Government entities also able to negotiate tax/ shipping free contracts, may own or contract storage warehouses which also are part of the sale price. The government can purchase that which they normally pay their suppliers to destroy.Private stores rely on name brand recognition and promotions to sell their product. That’s a major expense that a government store doesn’t have to pay.Interestingly, stores like Costco carry store brands (Kirkland) but they do well because the store has a lot of coverage that reveals which name brand you’re actually purchasing when purchasing a Kirkland product so they have both name brand recognition and heavy store brand recognition hacks and are generally competitive with the local big box stores.Now Dollar Stores almost no product name recognition, little promotional advertising, low overhead to maintain their facilities, few employees on site.
>>539973471You think every non- white male hire had to be a DEI hire because how the fuck can they possibly be more qualified if they aren’t white and male, amirite?
>>539974998>niggers are retarded so the government had to literally force whites to induct them into society and business, that means categorically blacks are less competent, qualified, and human./thread
>>539966274Communism is when the government does things. That's why our government doesn't do anything, it just outsources our tax dollars to private entities.
>>539973545Dollar Stores. I’ve already point out the big things that can affect prices: advertising costs, name brands rather than generics, ability to source goods, cost of transportation and warehousing. Private business relies most heavily on name brand recognition and advertising.
>>539974879you have a lot of positive things to say about them but which problems do you see with grocery stores that offer goods at a 30% price reduction?
>>539973818A much higher percentage of my earnings is used for survival then say, someone making twice as much as myself. I could work an extra job which will take a toll on my mental and physical health later on (yeah. All that extra wealth to pay for more needed health care). I could go back to school, run up more debt, compete with those more younger and hostile than myself who are unable to find work themselves. I could ask for more money, so many options on my plate. Why not the obvious? Rather than driving up prices by creating more demand (higher paychecks always seem to create more wants), why don’t we just have a government that can do its job properly and recognize that historically, nothing ever good comes from a wealth lopsided economy that caters best to the minority while bleeding the majority dry?I’m at a comfortable position in my life: two paid off vehicles mostly paid off home with a really reasonable interest rate, and money socked away in various investments only made possible by my minimalist approach to a capitalist economy. I don’t update my communication tech unless absolutely required (Apple is really good about making their own product obsolete when they feel it’s time its customer make an upgrade). I’m careful with my purchases, I avoid designer name brands, drive the hell out of my vehicles and only replace every decade or so. So many ways of just not participating by choice and I’m ok with that. But things are changing. Necessary services and product is taking a toll on my spending habits. $4+ loaf of bread, gas is back on its way up as is energy in general, cell phone plans and utilities when the infrastructure is already in place. Everyone now credits their financial fuckups rather than returning your cash and allowing you to opt out. It’s a money grab and I barely participate. They just raise the price where your participation is mandated.
