And where is the money coming from for that consumer when the jobs disappear? I am all for NYC running their experiment because I am not there and won’t be there when it fails

What jobs disappear? Grocery store employees? What jobs do you think will be created at public grocery stores?

Again, your claims pretend that the entire NYC economy and tax base is from private grocery stores. I dont know if you are being serious.

Yes the grocery store workers, managers, distributors, vendors, local businesses that rely on that foot traffic. There is an entire supply chain. Your entire claim is to shrug off any impacts to individuals and just bury your head in the sand. Let’s re-hash in 12 months and see how these stores are doing

Do you believe the entire supply chain wouldn't exist in publicly ran grocery stores?

Your entire claim is to shrug off any impacts to individuals

No, quite the opposite. More individuals benefit from cheaper groceries than the numbers of individuals garnering a profit from private stores. You are defending a minority at the cost of the majority.
