Younger Democrats have soured on capitalism

In NYC there really aren't any food deserts so any government grocery store will be in competition with private ones.


To run at least at a break-even cost
To be safe for passengers in many cases
To be time efficient for riders
To not be readily accessible 24/7
That's for starters.


The Left loves gun confiscation and control. The Left is against stand your ground laws and even self-defense. They expect you to call the police and let law enforcement take care of whatever the problem is.

Sure I can...

These are some more of the fails of the Left and Socialism all of which Mamdani proposes to do.

Rent control and rent "freezes"
Public housing (aka "The Projects")
Heavy to excessive taxation of "The Rich" to pay for everything.
"free" public transit
"free" child care
Taking public control of all utilities

You have it exactly right.

Price controls (including rent control, minimum wage laws, energy price controls, etc. always have the same result: shortages.
This is fascism. The government manipulation of markets. It never works. It's always a disaster. It's based on theft of wealth.

The 'free' public transit, 'free' healthcare, 'free' utilities, public housing, all cost a ton of taxes. 'Free' ain't free. It's TANSTAAFL.
There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch.

This is communism. It is government ownership of markets. It never works. It's always a disaster. It's based on theft of wealth.

Yes, it does. When the government store runs at a loss, can't keep common items on the shelves, and is so poorly run that people go out of their way to find alternatives, it shows failure.


And one of two things happens: Either the government store gets subsidized and the private stores penalized forcing the private stores to close, or the government stores fail and go out of business.

...and you pay for that horrible government run store in higher taxes! Not so cheap now, eh?
 
Capitalism's unequal distribution of PROSPERITY is far better than Socialism's equal distribution of misery.

There are zero examples of where socialism has ever worked in the entire world, and it isn't ever going
to work....especially here in the good ole Constitutional Republic of the United States. Trump will make sure of that.

Pandemic's hard realities worsen Venezuelan child labor crisis

Twelve-year-old Moises Bracamonte knows how to prepare fertilizer and water the black beans and corn that his family grows in Venezuela's western Tachira state. He says the most difficult part of agricultural work is "breaking the ground" to sow the seeds without a tractor or an ox.

Trump is not interested in Capitalism. He is building a plutocracy where the wealthy run everything. It is well on its way. The Trumpys on this board must be very wealthy, because why would they vote against their own interests. Why would they argue for a crook like Trump to set policy?
 
The predatory rent seeking monopolies owned by people who have purchased our government is not capitalism.....it is a post capitalism cancer.
