Venture capitalist David Friedberg says he thinks the initial popularity of New York’s city-run grocery stores will “light a fire for socialism.”
He frames them not failing as a bad thing, by the way. Otherwise he’d get his Republican card confiscated and Business Insider wouldn’t platform him. “The dirty lazy poors will get too used to all that free stuff and get uppity and demand more, which will eventually cut into the ability of the investor class- you and me, the only worthy people who matter- to maximize our earnings.”
“HOW DARE THE DIRTY POORS AFFORD GROCERIES!! WE MUST PUT A STOP TO THIS SENSIBLE AND SUSTAINABLE ENTERPRISE THAT CUTS INTO OUR PREDATORY PROFITS!!!”
It’s funny how our democratic socialist president ranks as one of the top presidents of all time https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Deal
Not a democratic socialist and not even a social democrat but it’s not like Republicans didn’t call him a communist even in 1940 so whatever, you tried.
Affordable groceries are radical according to this plonker.
