Well, it didn't take long for Zohran Mamdani to try and put small stores out of business. Apparently, New Yorkers didn't realize Communists believe the government should own everything. Oops!

So, grocery stores, particularly very small ones, are afraid people will shop at the government-owned stores because it's way cheaper (subsidized) and stop shopping at their stores. This is a very real issue.
Mamdani is literally trying to destroy homeowners and business owners. He is a national security threat. https://t.co/yAqBjmY1kP

That's the problem with Communism. Eventually, it will take your small business down, too.

A crazy thought. What if, instead, we gave low income folks a voucher - we could call it a SNAP benefit, or even a "food stamp" - that they could use to get a discount at any food store w/o hurting small businesses?

(And yes, Republicans would call that socialism, too). 1/ https://t.co/tAsJEha0YD
It's almost like that is already happening and yes, it is 'Socialism' or a safety net, but at least it's not bankrupting small business.
Of course it would kill bodegas and small grocery stores, for a 30% discount, people will schlep to that gov’t supermarket. Large supermarket chains can absorb those losses, no sweat, but not these small businesses. https://t.co/AoYNbbauio

That's a shame.
I was assured by many that those stores wouldn't complain and this wouldn't impact them at all, when I said the goal of all of this is to put stores out of business and turn government into a monopoly over the food chain.

So weird that those actual stores owners agree with me… https://t.co/50IpQBWBGU
It's almost like the laws of economics don't change and no matter how much Zohran Mamdani smiles and his supporters try to convince voters real 'Socialism' has never been tried, it's a feckless pursuit.
Why is it that, it is the people who always run out of towns instead of running the communists out? https://t.co/GjY6CN4l3c

Isn't that how it always works?
This was a matter of time - imagine owning a bodega or Aldi-sized supermarket that makes your family $90,000 net per year...and then having the damn government lower food prices in your borough by 30%. https://t.co/hYMc26Jman

The moral of the story ... don't elect Communists who hate America.
