What's a public service? Supermarkets are more important to me than buses, they're not run by the state.

What's a public service? Supermarkets are more important to me than buses, they're not run by the state.
- GuinansEyebrows 1y agoi'd love to shop at a state-owned not-for-profit supermarket. maybe not 100% of the time but the option would be nice and would keep 100% of the profit within the local economy.
- mhh__ 1y agoWho says there'd be a profit? Don't supermarkets rely on enormous scale and then eek out a few percent? I'd love a state that could do that (well, ignoring the orwellian aspect of that) but this is a game for the paperclip maximizers.
- pastage 1y agoYou only need the scale in car centric places, where you can externalize every cost to the customers.
- GuinansEyebrows 1y agoI misused 'profit' the second time - I should have said revenue.
