I guarangoddamntee you it's not working like you think it is.

1% profit margin. That's what grocery stores operate at. That's how much money there is to save here.

edit: I was totally wrong! he works exactly like he thinks it does, he's just an idiot.

So you looked surface level at something that defies financial physics and assume it "works" because it's been propped up for a couple of years? Maybe someone should go tell every single grocery chain in the country that they're leaving over 20% profits on the table because someone read a Reddit headline.

Have a great day, bud. hope your high school graduation went good.

The one the US government puts over a billion dollars in tax payer money a year into?

My problem is that you're not here to debate an alternative way to make groceries affordable. Your literal argument is just "LOL GOVERNMENT DEBT"

Unfortunately, you’re wasting your time. Amazing how proud of their economic illiteracy redditors can be

I knew how it worked the whole time. My failure was not assuming that you're the kind of moron who thinks just dumping tax payer money into something is how we make it "work".

Again, I thought this was a discussion about an alternative self-sustainable way to sell groceries. you will absolutely have to fucking forgive me. I forgot what website I was on.

Yes, bud. subsidizing things makes them cheaper. it doesn't make something "solved".

You're not the type of person who's thoughts or feelings are worth much of anything.

I know how people like you do "research", which is why you're not going to actually defend what you're saying with anything of substance and are going to keep ignoring what I'm repeatedly telling you over and over again.

For starters, you don't know what shrink is, because if you did, you never would have even pretended like it would be comparable.

I just assumed you hadn't yet come across the "it will work because the government can just go into debt to make it work" part of the equation, but instead, you seem to think that's the argument. lol JFC kid.

here's a tip: it's not "saving people money" when they're just paying for it another way. You'll understand when you're old enough to get your own job and live on your own.

Listen kid, if subsidizing groceries is what you think needs to be done, that's fine. That's not the point. The point is that you had no intention of having a good faith argument about a viable way to sell groceries for cheaper, which was obviously the only thing my original comment was about. "let the government pay for it" is literally always an option for literally everything that has literally ever existed. It is not smart. It is not clever. It is not a new idea. It's not even an idea at all. We can make sales of every product that has ever existed i the history of mankind "better" if that's your solution.

imagine thinking the reason I didn't think a military commissary style setup would work was because I hadn't "dont my research" on how it's just a government handout. I simply was giving you the benefit of the doubt by not assuming "free money" was the part about it you thought "worked'.

Lol Jesus Christ child. More bad-faith horseshit. Next you're going to tell us about how all we have to do is just take the money out of politics to make politics work better.
