You are certain of your RW bias. Not much else.

Worry about your own bias.

Yeah standing in long lines just hoping to get a loaf of bread like in the old soviet union would be “wonderful”. :roll_eyes:

History is replete with failed examples of privately run enterprises.

It’s where the phrase: “it fell off a truck” originated.

You really aren’t worth the effort.

I accept your concession.

It sure is, but which costs the tax payers more?

You know the people the “proggie left” continue to want to saddle with higher taxes, costs of living, to support?

I have spent countless hours, over the course of many years, debating the supposed merits of socialism with the likes of you. I haven’t the desire to do it here at this time.

Your defnition of socialism, is probably the Venezuela or N Korea kind, vs the Nordic hybrid version of capitalism and socialism vs our current hybrid version, which is far more capitalism than socialism.

As I stated, no interest what-so-ever.

As if the meaning of “our version” doesn’t continue to evolve with every “proggie leftist” that gets anywhere near executive power, with EO’s, or through congressional backing.

You want to act as if the camel, who once it got its nose in tent, won’t continue on into the tent. :roll_eyes:

ETA…We’ll eventually get to where all of those other crappy forms of socialism end up, broke and miserable.

Personally, I think you can address the food dessert problem without Government run grocery stores.

Change the tax code for family run produce markets and lower rent costs for these facilities. In exchange, negotiate pricing policies which still benefit the owner but reflect their lowered overhead.

Problem pretty much solved, and no socialism needed. Providing cheap property and favorable tax rates are a staple when it comes to inviting businesses into a community.

Show me a food desert in a major urban area that didn’t form after a law enforcement safety desert had already formed.

The Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie crowd don’t care how much higher taxes cost actual taxpayers.

Most are in that 50 percent that pay little or no federal taxes.

The ordic countries consistently rank as the happiest places to live. And they have a hybrid of capitalism and socialism…for 50+ years. And that is wirh crappy weather, long, cold, dark winters.

Nobody is stopping you from immigrating there, hell, I will help pack up your ■■■■■

You are right about that.

Every food desert began as a funcitoning neighborhood,
remained a functioing neighborhood trhough many generations,
had supermarkets etc.
ans something happened
to cause the stores to leave.
