First original idea

NYC’s next mayor Zohran has one original idea. This is a landmark! No US politician at any level or any party has shown originality since 1945. All politicians copy-paste the same shit in different dialects.

His idea: NYC should run municipal grocery stores. This is what the New Deal did in other areas. The principle is old but forgotten: Government should take up the slack where business fails. Grocery stores were generally doing the right thing in the 30s so WPA didn’t need to intervene there.

I don’t know anything else about Zohran, and I don’t have the time or interest to dig into politics now. His other proposals may be bad. Still, this one is a genuine HISTORICAL FIRST and deserves praise.
