    This makes me so extremely angry that I don’t even know which part to focus my rage on.
    I think I’ll go with this:

    The New York City mayor plans to create five municipally owned stores on city-owned property by 2029

    It’s literally just 5 stores in the next 3 years and big food is already shitting their pants. I also love how they’re like “but think about small businesses” when big superstores are literally killing them but if this little effort makes them sweat there’s hope

      Fundamental part of imperialism.
