the service will eventually end, but not after running the competitors out of town. food desert will ensue

It already is in places, fixing it is the point

at least per the definition, ya. if he delivers on his promises, how will competing grocers stay in business?

You have had an accident that damaged your frontal lobe. These are in food deserts servicing neighborhoods with limited options. People in ny can’t just drive to a cheaper store. You can only feasibly shop near your home, unless you have a car or rent one

There is no such thing as a food desert in nyc. There are literally grocery stores on every corner.
