#1 Canuckistan commissars keep
Your groceries incredibly cheap
And backslap themselves...
For creating bare shelves
Where their overweight homeless can sleep.

#2 Who had Canada going full commie in the early 2020s on their bingo card?

#3 The economic illiteracy of this threatened action is astounding, and these clowns probably got their cue from Elizabeth Warren, who made similarly stupid complaints and threats last year. If anyone in the grocery business manages to get a 4% profit margin, they deserve a medal. I hope all these grocers tell Ottawa and that clown prince Trudeau to go to hell.

#4 Chicago's Dem Mayor Brandon Johnson now wants to create city-run grocery stores to promote 'equitable' access to food after Walmart and Whole Foods close stores

#5 So, you can head on down to People's Grocery Store Number 19 to get what you can from the mostly empty shelves and then be robbed by the gang bangas on the way out.

#7 The retail in the USSR was inefficient, if not to say almost non-existent. The way it was organized, buyers had to stand in separate lines for specific products — meat, dairy, vegetables, etc. — and then wait in another, general line at the cashier.

#9 The margin on grocery items is so minimal, a professional operation squeaks by. Can you think what groceries will cost when the gubbamint runs the stores?

#10  Chicago mayor considers creating city-owned grocery store after Walmart, Whole Foods close stores in the city

#11  ^ Chicago mayor wants Chicago taxpayers to absorb the cost of shrinkage that would certainly take place at city owned stores. Walmart and Whole Foods shareholders were apparently unwilling to do so.

#12 Commies don't understand basic economics. If the seller can't make a profit, the seller won't sell. It will become unavailable.

#14 ^ That's the pain in blue states. To have the taxpayers in all the other states pay their tab.

#15 #14 The state will introduce ration cards. And guess what'll happen to any troublemakers?

#18 As usual, you'll get a lot of needs and very few abilities.
