"What makes Mamdani's proposal different is scale and intent."
He's talking five stores. It's not much in terms of scale. Intent is pretty similar too, he wants lower income people in NYC to have access to quality nutritious food, and not so much the stuff you get at Dollar General.
Personally I would take a much more radical approach. I would be running soup kitchens like they do at Rainbow Gathering. Which scales well; every camp has one. It was Garick's idea, and he got the idea when his Uncle Sam sent him to Vietnam. So I can promise you it's a very workable, very implementable idea. But hey, handouts to people needing food, who does this Snoofy guy think he is, Jesus?
"It makes sense that we're not seeing people of color in the streets because people of color are being disappeared"
Bingo.
