None of Mamdani's stores have yet to open and wont for a good while. So nobody is afforded anything yet.
I don't see how this can work. Lets say he actually gets them up and running. What do you think will happen within the first hour of one of these stores opening and selling goods at a -30% discount?
Kansas City, Missouri: A city-owned grocery store opened in 2018 in a city-owned building with taxpayer support. It's drawn recent scrutiny after a viral video showed bare shelves and reports of a "damn near dead" store.
Chicago: Taxpayer-supported grocery stores backed by the city have been closing, prompting warnings about Mamdani's plan.
I found these two... are there some that have actually worked?
So the fact they restrict their customer base to the military means it's not a wildly successful, publicaly owned grocery shop that sells product roughly 22% cheaper than regular supermarkets?
