Of all New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani\u2019s campaign promises, his plan for government-subsidized grocery stores has resulted in the strongest, and sometimes strangest, ire.

Schweizer also dismantles much of the criticism the pilot program has received as we discuss the logistics of scale and how the private sector will actually run the stores. Among many things, we get into how the subsidies will work and grocery policy at large, and get a very frank assessment of what to make of the criticism coming from think tanks like the Manhattan Institute.<\/p>\n
