only forbes could write an article titled "Why New Yorkers Voted For Public Grocery Stores, Explained" where the only quoted new yorker is a billionaire grocer with a link to fox news

ffs, please leave your apartment for two seconds and talk to people, literally anyone. a couple of "I'M TIRED OF PAYING OUT THE ASS FOR BREAKFAST" would go a long way but i guess i dunno what i expected from forbes

True but this article is in full support of the measure even drawing logical comparisons to existing government run grocery stores. Its pretty good all things considered.

Yeah a good journalist isn’t going to draw conclusions for you. Worth pointing that the author mentions how popular the idea is among the people, and the only opposition he cites is from a billionaire grocery chain owner as he specifically mentions in the article. Most readers will spot that not only does this person have an interest in this program not succeeding, but has probably never been in a situation where he has to worry about his next meal.
