if capitalism truly it's innovation, surely the grocery stores can innovate and outcompete the city run stores?

Food, as a whole, should not be sold at a profit. Profiting off a basic human necessity is a fucked up thought. Like selling water for a profit. A just society would sell food to itself at cost, at MOST.

Can't and won't are two different things. The idea one can sue because someone's prices are "too low" is about as anti-Capitalist as you can get. Businesses have gone soft and no longer wish to compete.

the problem with capitalism is you can run out of other people's money (and then you have to get a court involved to force us to pay more)

And the corporate grocery stores sell government subsidized food from farms and ranchers. So, it's ok for them, but not a store that serves the people's best interest, got it. 🙄😒

yeah this is the point. they said "can't" when they really mean "won't" because corporations price gouge and we're sick of being price gouged so if you want to keep your pretty little corporation, you can lower your prices. corporate c-suite people don't need the bonuses and stock options and income that they receive yearly, so that's where that money can come from to keep your pretty little corporation afloat!

Oh so this is like high speed internet. Public internet service’s introduction all of a sudden makes ISPs drop price so much and provide actual high speed service. Cool cool

And that's why there's no such thing as a 'free market' under capitalism.

They take money from you (taxes) to open a store to sell you stuff and say it's cheaper? Eliminate the taxes and then open the grocery store...... that's right you can't because you need money to open the store.

Right now we have corporate socialism, not capitalism. Them suing for this is a good “call your bluff” moment- no one has been big enough to compete with major grocery stores , competition drives down prices LFG Mamdani!

if they can't compete then they should close as they aren't competitive. nobody hates competition as much as capitalists 😂

I thought capitalism was meant to be more efficient at goods and services than the state? Wasn’t that the whole point of free market privatization 😂

So where are these government operated grocery stores that operate efficiently? Did no one have this idea? Or did every city that tried it fail?
