- Retail jobs suck, so this is good. - warehouses and public dispensaries are content-address-based networking for the physical world. - I don't really care about purchases being deanonymized because money itself a public good. - I do care about the private sector having the data, because they will surely do terrible things with it. Back to the networking analogy, the post is classic local-address-based networking for the physical realm. Just as we have a state-run post service utility, we should have a state-run warehouse-and-store utility. Even all you free market types: the point is of the free market is that the transacting agents are independent, not that the market itself is. Running the marketplace and goods distribution utility as a public good is perfect fine "market socialism". The only thing to be mindful of is that there is a standard and fair procedure for new sellers to have their goods stocked and distributed to bootstrap the demand.
