              Oh, so his attacking the source just meant he had no intelligent response?

                There probably is something wrong with it. Haven't looked into it. Wouldn't be surprised if it was a lack of funding. Who knows 

                The more hilarious/concerning thing here, to me, is that Nickers frequents gateway pundit. Though I guess it isn't that surprising. 

                We really needed to teach old folks Internet media literacy before letting them run wild on the Internet

                  "Due to these factors, it’s no wonder Sun Fresh Market is now on the verge of closing despite receiving millions in taxpayer funding."

                  Hmm, try again boy wonder.

                  Whatever the reason is, doesn't matter, the point is it didn't work.

                  Do you like the idea of gov't controlled grocery stores?

                    Again, I'd defer to local reporting, or at least much less biased reporting. Quick reading shows millions for the shopping center, and a delay in getting funding to the grocery store. Probably also some incompetence involved, like in most everything. One example in one spot isn't proof of something not working. Though I know conservatives love just running with singular anecdotes. 

                    Food deserts are a real thing. Capitalism isn't perfect. Far from it. Leaving it up to capitalism you get low income neighborhoods without access to fresh foods/grocery stores and just fast food/convenience stores. I think government run or government subsidized grocery stores in these food desert areas makes sense.

                      New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani wants to open city-owned grocery stores. The U.S. already has a few, and they're a cautionary tale.

                                    I read the article in the OP earlier this morning, and l had more questions than anything. I’m far removed from Kansas City and l wasn’t aware state run grocery stores was a thing or how this came to be. I found this helpful.

                                    https://showmeinstitute.org/blog/subsidies/sun-freshs-struggles-were-predictableand-predicted/

                                    Apparently it was an attempt to fill a perceived need in an underserved community (aka poor community) in an attempt to spark some urban renewal, basically hoping others would invest in the area around it with a shiny new grocery store.

                                    It stands to reason that if an actual grocery store that does this sort of thing for a living can’t make it work, they won’t be able to make it work either.

                                      Regardless of what you do or don't follow, you should recognize the biased trash gateway pundit is. But then again, that's kind of the point. These sites exist just to regurgitate ideas you already believe back to you. You may not be a "follower" of gateway pundit but you found it, read it, and shared it for a reason.

                                      You led with "unlink you" in your last post. 

                                      But we've been down this path before. You seem to immediately forget what you just posted. Or you have lost all reading comprehension ability. Regardless, you seem to get lost like this constantly. 

                                      I sincerely mean this but I think you're one of the dumbest individuals I've even "met".

                                        In other words, it doesn't doesn't match woodys thinking and he has no way to refute anything.

                                        If you want to use gateway pundit as a legitimate source that speaks more about you and your media literacy abilities than anything else.

                                          The argument then becomes it should be done more as a public good, to alleviate a food desert, than it should be to "make a profit". In my first post, that our MAGA reactionaries didn't read, I mentioned how capitalism isn't going to solve issues like this. It's our government's job to step up in those instances
