He’s helping the poor. You guys have been helping the rich with tax breaks.

@andrewcuomo your time has passed. Let the mayor deliver his promises, if it fails we all know he tried. And will vote him again.

Rich people mad at low cost food? Right. No the issue is price gouging. Which Kamala Harris ran on. The price of food is artificially high. Low cost stores will help with costs. Simple.

All markets, including for profit markets, are subsidized. Food is subsidized. You people don’t even know how the “free market” works in America. Hint **it’s not real or free. Taxpayers subsidize it all.**

So Mamdani’s low cost grocery stores are bad and will put small businesses out of business but the alternative is to bring in Lidl and Aldi, who provide low cost groceries and put small businesses out of business everywhere they open up?! Political alignment is so fucked up.

It’s not for 8 million people dumbo. 8 million people don’t rush to Aldi or Walmart because it’s cheaper. It’s providing an option for the most vulnerable.

Bunch of millionaires complaining that poor people in queens have 1 grocery store that isnt gouging them on every item.

Common sense is that NO, 8 million will not only shop at 8 stores, but these stores serve communities, not the entire population of NYC. Bill, you really are smoking too much weed to side with nay sayers, like the right wing cult club.

Quick let’s ask the disgraced Mayor of NY who’s accused of SA how he feels about the plan to try and feed people who are struggling… @billmaher

Listen to the back half. Cuomo derides subsidizing the public stores. Then, his solution is to indirectly subsidize the PRIVATE stores by giving tax credits to consumers = who spend that $$ on their groceries. Amazing 😂😂

Putting the government in charge of grocery stores is like putting Cuomo in charge of Nursing homes.

Having Cuomo talk about how bad people are who run New York is like having Goebbels come on and bad mouth Hitler

Nothing makes people hate CAPITALISM more than going to the store and getting fucking GOUGED. These rich-as-fuck ghouls have never suffered under capitalism and it fucking shows. It’s good they keep telling in themselves. 👍🏽

Food isn't really the issue. The main issue will always be real estate. It happens all over the world where rich people owns almost all of the properties and the rest get squeezed out of the market.

Cuomo is such an angry liar, especially after voters loudly rejected his corrupt misogynist ass twice in 5 months. Those city grocery stores are - one per borough - specifically located in a food desert where there’s no competition in walking distance - give 30% discount on a defined “core basket” of everyday groceries like •All fresh produce •All meat & seafood •Roughly 20 additional categories of pantry staples, dairy, and refrigerated goods like eggs, milk, chicken & bread If you want to see what NY thinks of Cuomo, try HotGirlsForCuomo.com

So, Mamdani opened his own grocery stores with somebody else's money to run capitalistic retail competition out of NYC? By overtaxing the wealthy entrepreneurs in NYC, he has eliminated any competition? Seems to me he's using the mayors office to obtain a monopoly.

3 arrogant jackasses totally miss the value of performative acts on behalf of average citizens. They were also disingenuous about the economic impact overall.

“Bumper sticker solution we have ZERO intention of allowing to succeed,” you mean? Bill needs to turn off the social media and get his head out of his ass.

My problem with these people criticizing Mamdani is they never helped New Yorkers at least he's trying 🙄

Idiots like this endorsed socialism for ever. What happened?

And that is why the sexual harasser lost badly in his attempted political comeback from having to resign because he is a disgusting slime bag, Mamdani never suggested the trial grocery stores were going to feed 8 million people. What an asshole
