New York City, this is not a drill.

Communism is being tried ... again!

Yes, ma'am, the Muslim mayor of New York City just said his communist grocery stores will set prices at the beginning of each month — with staple items being 30% less than their actual retail price.

We are THAT much closer to fulfilling the prophecy of one of the greatest Babylon Bee jokes of all time.

From the AP:

The mayor offered a different vision for the city-owned shops on Monday, announcing that they would instead provide a 30% discount on produce, meat and a host of other kitchen staples as a way to offset the rising food prices in one of America's most expensive cities.

The five stores are expected to be placed in each of the city's five boroughs, with the first set to open toward the end of 2027 in the Bronx. He plans to have all five operational by the end of his four-year term.

You're going to discount junk food too, right?

Right????

The rules say you have to!

But don't worry — the mayor promises these city stores won't sell hot food to avoid crushing bodegas.

Projections say the average family could save $90 a month — $1,000 a year! But let's not talk about the higher taxes needed to subsidize the whole operation, the inevitable inefficiencies of government-run anything, the lines, the inevitable empty shelves, and the favoritism when it comes to who gets to run the stores.

Don't forget about this ongoing story out of Kansas City. 👇

Can't wait for the money to run out. Then we get the next phase of communism!

If only we could go back to a time when mayors focused on basic services instead of playing central planner with your grocery cart.
