@bloombergbusiness: Food prices have become the animating issue in one of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s signature policies: a plan to open city-owned grocery stores. Azalea Fresh Market's CEO Paul Nair joins @Max Chafkin and @Stacey Vanek Smith on the Everybody's Business podcast to discuss the popular city-backed grocery store in Atlanta and how it's serving as a model for Mamdani’s grocery store plan. #Atlanta #food #prices #groceries #NYC

The Federal government runs a grocery store for the military. The Defense Commissary Agency sells food to military families for cost plus 5%. It’s the same thing.

this notion that city employees can't run retail outlets is patentedly absurd. for one because the city can just hire people with relevant experience, and two, retail isn't rocket science.

I'm sure every private grocery store would love to have free rent and no property tax. the others stand no chance of competing.

This feels like boondoggle in the making, I guess I’ll have wait till 2027 or 2028 to see I’m right.

Atlanta supermarket and others will succeed ONLY if the tax payers subsidize. There are very small margins of profit. Better off giving food vouchers.

The media is doing such a disservice to the people and propagandizing against socialism, making it seem like communism when it’s not even close. Besides the most successful economy is a blend of capitalism, socialism, and communism altogether.

When big corporations collude against the American consumer, which is what is behind the last decade’s inflation, government run competition is the only way to keep them honest.
