One of the more fanciful promises by the Marxist front runner for the New York Mayoralty, Muslim, 33 year old Ugandan born, Zohran Mamdani, plans to have the NY City government become a grocer to the people, as a major bribe???

This morning in a weekly scheduled Radio Newstalk with Mike Hosking Breakfast, Mike currently on leave with Heather Soper sitting in, our esteemed Prime Minister seeking credibility as a “Manager” hints at further “Government Moves” to curtail profitability. for Super Markets???

Here is a person heralded as a businessman super hero with past experience at Unilever, notably involved in grocery, and Air New Zealand the national carrier where contact with the NZ consumer is paramount, so bereft in reality marketing he is suggesting Market interference will somehow work this time???

“Chaos Christopher”, there is so much electoral connectivity to be accessed by just getting settings and governance corrected in your core business, while pandering to a cohort who will never vote for you ever, and continuing with all the race based Bullshit, so often alluded to as a primary concern for National led governance in the lead up to the final temporary sidelining of the NZLP eighteen months ago, is this really what you consider your dwindling bunch of public voters want.
As suggested earlier just cease with the photo opps and go out with a bad hairpiece, and clown shoes and see what real working New Zealand is coping with while you and your bunch of university graduates seem to be gloriously oblivious to, as matters of concern???

Yes there is a weak case that another country wide Grocer might have at least a levelling of Grocery prices but here in lill ole NZ it is extremely unlikely another shrewd Grocery outfit will attempt to enter the already crowded market without massive Government subsidised set up inputs, read Taxpayer contributions.
Here in The main urban area of Selwyn District with already established New World and Woolworths servicing 35 000 people plus surrounding areas, just 10 Kms south of Hornby on SH 1, with Pak n Save and Woolies. Plus Rolleston’s own Pak n Save about to open and another Woollies in Farringdon in the east of Rolleston consented and about to begin construction, You, Chaos Chris, are tilting at windmills in true Don Quixote style.
Yes any grocer with turnover supplying basic items at low margins will be profitable, even with marginal managerial inputs, have you Mr Luckson forgotten business 101 in your pursuit of glory???

Pee and/or get off the Pot man.
