This is a bit embarrassing. Mamdani has a plan for paying for his city-owned grocery stores. He's planning to tap into a $140 million pile of subsidies for "corporate grocery stores." But that pile of money doesn't exist. He just misread a government website. ()

It's hilarious that he and his supporters believe the government can deliver lower prices than public companies. Yes these companies are for profit but competition demands efficiency and competitive prices. Since when has the government been efficient at anything?

I'd guess a great deal of his constituents are on food stamps anyways. You don't get much cheaper than free.
