Say goodbye to your local bodega. And after that, say goodbye to the government-subsidized grocery store once it inevitably collapses.
This will not work because prices are not a reflection of someone’s “greed”, they’re a signal about supply and demand. And when you intentionally distort that signal, very bad things happen.
So let me explain to you what’s going to take place here.
Some grocery item that used to go for $10, like a slab of meat, will now be sold by NYC for $7.
“Yay! Everyone is happy! The government can provide better than the free market!”
I’m sure we’ll see a bunch of glowing pieces in mainstream media outlets fawning over Mamdani just like they did to Chavez before it all went to hell in Venezuela.
But behind the scenes, New York City has not made that slab of meat cost $7 to society. That missing $3 has to come from somewhere.
And it’s either going to show up in the form of higher taxes, longer lines in the store, empty shelves, poorer quality foods, horrible customer service, higher regional inflation, or chronic shortages followed by government rationing at the government-run store.
It’ll probably get some combination of all of the following, but not before some obnoxious honeymoon period where the media pretends like Mamdani is some innovative trailblazer for implementing a thoroughly debunked economic policy from a century ago.

Mayor Mamdani just announced that he will be opening 5 city-run, tax-funded grocery stores: "Prices set at 30% below retail prices"

@elonmusk @viktaur27 @Teslarati Pretty crazy to think that GPT-3 could bring us computers that can write their own software. 🤯

To compare the systems, consider the fate of anticapitalists under capitalism (consulting revenue) versus anticommunists under communism (slave camp).

It is pretty wild to remember that a large portion of the population live in an alternative reality built entirely on words, with no connection to the real world that we all share.

MoistCr1TiKaL comes out strongly against data centers in recent video and ponders if they're making people sicker due to hoarding clean water "AI data centers are actually the boogeyman..a scourge on this planet and a stain on civilized society..no normal ppl with functioning frontal lobes want data centers in their community, it is bad for them" "I've been getting conspiratorial..I was reading something that someone was sharing about like when a AI data center came through, and the impact it had on their water, cause that's a very common thing" "I'm not fully bought into it..but it's an interesting theory..what if the reason there's been seemingly so much more sickness, like it feels like ppl are getting sick more frequently now and a wide variety of illnesses just seem more common..what if AI data centers are hoarding all of the clean water..what if all the clean water is being diverted to the AI data centers and the normal civilians are just getting the sludge runoff..I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility..they are evil enough to do that" (Via penguinz0 on YT)

Absolutely insane:
Two-thirds of Americans don't know who Mao was. Half don't know who Xi is!
It's no wonder Americans tend to be so unconcerned about the rise of China when they know so little!

@AndyMasley @ostalugo Based on this my read is like 12% of 2024 voters know who Deng is
