You shouldn’t be allowed to do things if you’re this fuckin stupid. What does this even mean? How the fuck does Soviet Russia impact your decision to buy groceries?
It’s the other way around - government run liquor stores started after Prohibition to make sure liquor laws keeping booze away from minors were enforced properly. Food stores don’t have that issue. And we’re talking about NYC.

I hear you, but I think state-run liquor stores are just a holdover from Prohibition mentality, not to make sure booze is affordable for the poor.
The point is that the world doesn’t end when the government sells stuff.
Oh I agree, and I love Mamdani’s ideas. I just think state-run liquor stores aren’t a great parallel because they come with issues food stores don’t.
I’m from the US so I don’t understand what issues might be there if govt operates food stores?

I think that were 2 statements: “state run liquor stores come with issues” - “food stores don’t have those issues, therefore bad parallel”
And the Department of Defense is the country’s largest food provisioner/retailer, after all.
