On the broadcast of “CNN Newsnight” on Friday, the Mayor candidate from New York City Assembly Zoharan Mamdani (D) while answering a question on the failures of the government -run grocery shops, said “We have to prove not only efficacy, but the excellence of this idea, because for each example, there is another municipality.”
Host AB Philip asked, “[E]Xplain how it will really work, and why the government is a better solution to the lack of grocery stores, only what to do with the food desert to work with the private sector, what they know they know, how to do, which is, who is, run the grocery stores? What is your answer on that? ,
Mamdani replied, “There are more than a thousand grocery stores in New York City. I am proposing to make five additional, one of each of the boro of New York city, that will run the city and it will guarantee the cheap grocery items, no free food, but cheap groan items and we still have a requirement for everyone.
Philip then asked, “But there was another example in the Canasus City, where he had a government -run grocery store, and it has been on the verge of closure because it does not work. They are filled with crime. They are filled with inventory.
Mammadani replied, “I say with that example, as well as examples of our own failure as a city government in New York City, that we have to prove not only efficacy, but also have excellence of this idea, because, for every one example, you can indicate another municipality, which can do one more work. It will be bright to distribute it. Which is less than half [what] The city is already spending on subsidizing corporate supermarkets. ,
