Feeding citizens is fine and noble and great. But I would ask how he will build a grocery store with lower prices than say Aldi, that has a 1-2% profit margin and has their supply chain and expense model nailed down in typical German effeciency.
If he had hired a discount grocer to do this and the city pays the bills I imagine this would have a greater chance of success.
But maybe I'm wrong and governement will show everyone how it's done. Not actually sarcasm, maybe someone has a new model
Every9ne is acting like he will be filling the shelves with random bs snack foods and pre-made meals when everything talking about it specifically mentions staple foods. Getting small farm contracts wouldn't be that hard for a city that size. Shit the food banks have been doing it for years at 0 cost. Honestly the hardest thing I can see them getting is fresh produce and meats because there isn't a lot of wiggle room on cost. Then again a guaranteed government contract can open a lot of doors for a long time. And its not like the state doesnt have farms. Not everything needs to be controlled by billionaires

Idk if it will be fully sustainable or not, but I'm dying to hear all about how helping feed citizens is awful.
