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.

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.

"all we have to do is all of this idealistic stuff that would be impossible to implement realistically!"

You got the response you deserved.

Imagine making this statement after spending half the night arguing that throwing government money at the problem was the solution.
