Well, great news guys; these were opened in food deserts where you didn't want to open your stores, so you don't need to compete.

@zer0billionaires These are the same folks that say that the government is inefficient. Laughable.

[mausmalone@mastodon.social]

@zer0billionaires bookmark it and throw it back in their faces when the same people say they want to privatize government services to "lower taxes."

The commercial sector can't do it cheaper than the government without doing it worse because they necessarily have to add a surcharge to give to their investors as "profit."

@zer0billionaires Can someone help me understand:

- the government can’t do anything as efficiently as a business
- the government is too inexpensive and business can’t compete.

@rustybonneville @zer0billionaires
Yeah, wait a minute, why are all of those privately owned grocery chains worried? Surely the free market always delivers better products at cheaper prices, right?
