    Yeah this was always my issue with it. I can understand the plan to drive down the price of goods with government subsidized competition, but that only works if it’s a highly available alternative.

      focusing on food deserts, or areas with limited access to full-service supermarkets,

      he isn’t out to take on the competition to ‘drive down’ prices, but rather to serve neighborhoods that have no stores…where you have to walk a half hour just to get a carton of milk and a loaf of bread.

        Oh, well if that’s the primary goal - to eliminate food deserts - then hell yeah. Makes total sense
