Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

A state owned grocery would be different from a subsidized grocery, would it not?  The after tax margins in the grocery business are ... slim.  Before tax margins of course are a bit better, but we're talking single digit.  If some grocery operated at no profit, folks could hardly see a difference.  This presumes they also don't pay "a living wage" to their workers, whatever that is these days.

The city or state owns the building and the store itself is subsidized.  The funky smells are free though. 

How would a state run grocery store improve on the 1.5-2% margins private companies make?

I used to have friends that now embarrass me, I'm neither a billionaire nor a President.

any of those friends the most notorious pedophile in American history? 

it’s easy to see why Trump wants to distance himself from Epstein as far as humanly possible.

It wouldn’t. I’m not a particular advocate of the idea, but the idea is what it is:

-It’s not gonna improve business for other stores, and instead should be a net neutral unless you’re dollar general. 
-The won’t ever be profitable. If they were, then there wouldn’t be a food desert to start with. 

The question of how nice they should be is sort of odd. Like outside of being clean and modestly functional, such a thing should be worse than many grocery stores. 

I kind of agree with OAM because this WAS a football board where the members would discuss football with other topics mixed in.

This thread was originally titled “in other news” and we would lightly discuss politics and other stuff.

This thread gets a lot less run when football and basketball are going on. It's the 4-5 months in between...

Fall camps start soon, and the tide will turn.

Before the VID-19, we had a place for this stuff that was down on a different board. Healthier times, those. 

Shoot, we used to have a poster named AnnArborAdam.  He was rooting for the right B1G school.  I wonder whatever happened to that kid???
