Much of the routine trade and investment between China and America is entirely appropriate and in America’s interest. But inserting the Chinese Communist Party into America’s pay-to-play system and its economic development strategy isn’t just crossing a line. It’s a leap into an abyss of stupidity.
Johnson and his staff couldn’t operate a lemonade stand.
Even a math dimwit like Mayor Johnson has, maybe, figured out that a really well run private grocery store nets 3%. A not so well run, government grocery store, will run deep in the red.
Actually, operations such as Kroger do net 1%. 3% would, in my experience, be an outrageously successful grocery store.
City owned grocery stores will have no food on the shelves. City needs to pay political cronies and fraudsters first, before stocking shelves with food. The overhead for these stores will be enormous.
To open and run a grocery store takes money. He doesn’t have any to spare.
