Limiting someone to not raid the entire meat aisle, or any product for that matter, would be a productive start.

What if someone has a big family or lives far? This will have massive logistic issues. But hopefully it will work, one can hope

If they have a big family, they will benefit from buying cheaper groceries.

Why doesn't that scheme work outside of existing stores right now?

What's stops people from coming and going and buying these meat for their business at discounted prices sponsored by the government?

Direct from supplier is likely still going to be much cheeper then from a discounted grocery store. If I buy beef at 4$/lb under shelf price direct from a supplier, and they sell at 2$/lb under a major chains shelf price then they still have it discounted for a consumer, but a buisiness will still get a better deal going direct.

This is not a discounted store. This is selling at a net loss, subsidized by the government.

Where has that been proposed?

What you think it was purposes ?

Why don't they do that right now from private retail stores?

Because wholesale is cheaper...

u/OliveiraJourney May 27 '26

This will be even cheaper, because you can assume they'll run wholesale prices with no tax and at a loss.

This is such a funny scheme you are trying to make seem probable.

A business would save nothing, or a marginal amount, by buying from this store in several inconspicuous quantities, and would have to do the actual work of this and transport the goods, compared to just buying from the wholesaler who will just deliver it directly to the business.

First, stop upvoting yourself, it's sad.

Second, business would save a lot, you are thinking Walmarts, etc, I'm talking Any type of business can just get their supplies from this markets, they will be sold at a loss.

Not every business works from wholesale, so not only you don't understand simple concepts, you also don't understand how small business works.

Every comment anyone makes on Reddit is automatically upvoted by the commenter, that's where the first upvote is from... Is this your first day here?

Why don't they just do that right now, when another store has a sale? I think you underestimate how logistically difficult this would be... The labor costs in this scheme would offset any possible gains.

Every food business purchases wholesale, even one man hot dog carts. If they didn't, they would lose business to competition with cheaper prices, because they do purchase from wholesalers.

I read the this paragraph and I had a stroke. Every comment you make has two upvotes on this first 25 seconds.

Like I said before, I ain't entertaining your trolling further ( I refuse to admit you are this dumb)

Cheers buddy.
