CooksterWhen all is said and done, the Communist government’s subsidized ‘real cost’ price of a pound of bananas will be $13.99, a loaf of bread will be $23.99, a gallon of milk $27.99, and a pound of rancid government cheese $31.99.
And yes, there will be shortages of all products across the board, and yet, somehow, the Commissars of these government run failures will become wealthy beyond their wildest dreams.

HRKWait until it opens and the run on the "cheap" food happens, people grabbing whatever they can and then there is nothing on the shelves for the masses that can't get in.

Waffle house will look like high school wrestling compared to WWE Raw at these stores.

mjlennonI don’t follow Colorado politics. But this Melat Kiros win surprised a lot of folks. However, the message appears to be the same.
“You solve homelessness by giving people housing, you solve hunger by giving people food, you solve healthcare by going to a single-payer system,” Kiros added. “We know these things already, and yet nothing changes, ever — and it’s because, despite the fact the vast majority of Americans agree on the solutions for all of these issues, there’s too much money in our politics.”
That quote from
Colorado News Online.I’ll give her this much credit, at least she acknowledges there’s a cost associated with healthcare, not housing and food. It apparently grows on trees; well I guess some food does.
Not that agriculture is free - hardly.
Gents, politicians learned long ago you can buy votes with borrowed money. All I can say with any certainty is this won’t end well. It won’t really affect the freeloaders, it will the rest of us. Your vote counts.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani was snubbed from eulogizing Army Sgt. Angel Sarah Rampersad at the fallen soldier’s Queens funeral Friday — and the embarrassing scene unfolded in real time as he fumed while waiting in vain to give his speech, sources revealed.
Mamdani, who was relegated to the fourth row in the Ozone Park church, appeared to be reviewing his planned remarks on an iPad while Gov. Kathy Hochul and other dignitaries, including Queens Borough President Donovan Richards, were called to speak, a source in attendance said.
“They kept calling names and then he was never called,” the source said.
“Then he looked over at his staff, frustrated and seemed angry that he didn’t speak. When he realized his name wasn’t being called, he looked at his staff angrily and then eventually put his tablet away.”
Rampersad was killed on July 17th from an Iranian missle attack in Jordan. Sources stated that the family did not want Mamdami to speak.

downeastnc1Mamdani was told before the event he was not welcomed. Tells exactly how much that goddamn piece of shit thinks he is important. Narcissistic cunt.

Why were any of them speaking at the service at all? The day before she died, not one of them even knew she even existed.

gearhoundsI’m stoked that this arrogant little prick was publicly snubbed. I sincerely hope this is just another step in seeing this steaming bird out the door, but I suppose it’s up to the people of NYC to petition the governor for removal… if they have the wherewithal.

tleddyFrom the Colorado thread:
“You solve homelessness by giving people housing, you solve hunger by giving people food, you solve healthcare by going to a single-payer system,” Kiros added. “We know these things already, and yet nothing changes, ever — and it’s because, despite the fact the vast majority of Americans agree on the solutions for all of these issues, there’s too much money in our politics.”
I am reminded about the Margaret Thatcher quotation: "The only problem with Socialism is running out of other people's money!"
There is a reason that Canadians come to the USA for important surgery and health care... Canadian citizens may die on a waiting list!
I wish I was intelligent enough to propose a universal health care system... alas, I am not!
The best model I have experienced was the Palm Beach County, Florida Healthcare System! Very well, run, efficient and, most important, no fraud or graft! It was not perfect - services were 8:30 to 5:00, Monday through Friday; after hours were sent to local ER at hospitals. That said, the services they delivered to the indigent community were truly outstanding!

Captain MorganSo he wants government run grocery stores to sell at 30% less than other stores and he wants prisoners on Rikers Island to grow food.
I know its a stretch but I just couldn't help thinking that.

GraniteguyLogistical impossibility for prisoners on Rikers to grow food that can be packaged and is approved for consumer sales.
FDA approval for sale would also be a challenge as it would have to go through RFK's office.

Captain MorganYea I know, its just the timing of it.
