Pediatricians say vaccines do not cause autism. A bear-eating heroin addict who fantasizes about sucking his own semen out of his lovers' orifices says they do. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Cheap delivery is not an adequate replacement for a physical store.
Grocery stores provide a range of services, not just food. And that’s assuming online delivery provides sufficient access to food. And there is no reason that poor consumers should be captured by an online-only service.

What if I told you Walmart is not the only store trying to move into low-cost delivery? And this is about Atlanta because this is about Atlanta opening a city-subsidized grocery store.
And lastly, cheap delivery is a more than adequate replacement for a physical store. This is about physical stuff!
And lastly, cheap delivery is a more than adequate replacement for a physical store. This is about physical stuff!
And why should someone have to bear the cost of food delivery? Or be restricted to Walmart? And how did this become specifically about Atlanta? So many goal posts.
Anyway delivery is not an adequate replacement for a physical store in accessible proximity of where one lives.

People need food. Market won’t provide it. Government should. It’s literally the whole point.
Turns out Mamdani's controversial proposal for government-run supermarkets isn't so novel. Other cities also are toying with the idea to bring fresh, affordable food to communities that do not have easy access to it. Good WSJ read (gift link)
