This is LITERALLY how you destroy an economy You tax people to subsidize these community run grocery stores But two things then happen 1) the people being overly taxed start to leave to places like Miami 2) shoppers leave traditional grocery stores for these subsidized community stores. Then the traditional grocery stores go bankrupt Then the supply chain breaks down and even the commie stores can’t stock their inventory, at any price Then people panic Even more people flee Then the government implements controls such as exit taxes Then people hoard for themselves, stop working, turn on their neighbors etc And the society descends into chaos This is the story of the Soviet Union, Cuba, Venezuela, etc Now coming to NYC!
