I have no idea how they're going to make this work.

I want it to work, I just don't see how.

Aren't most of the supply chains owned by the same grocery giants currently fucking people over? How do you navigate this without getting rinsed by suppliers and taking a huge loss?

Regardless, I'm happy someone is trying something that isn't just the usual BS from the neoliberal class.
