This prospect is undeniably unnerving, given that asserting control over the food supply is the quintessential means of manipulating the populace.
From Discern Report:
This initiative is not only being driven by Democrats in government. “Charitable” organizations and lobbyist groups are working behind the scenes to sell the concept of State-Owned Enterprises to usher in a new era they hope will yield the Socialist States of America.
And it’s not just theoretical. According to Manic Contrarian over at Red State, this threat is already manifesting…
In the heart of Chicago, a radical and socialist plan is being pushed by Mayor Brandon Johnson. This plan seeks to establish government-controlled grocery stores in areas where inflation and rampant theft have crushed private businesses, leaving residents trapped in what are being described as “food deserts.” And shockingly, or perhaps not so shockingly, other cities across the nation are contemplating following suit at the urging of advocates for so-called State Owned Enterprises.
This government-run grocery store solution may sound enticing on the surface. They promise affordable and nutritious food, support for local producers, and economic growth. But that’s just empty rhetoric. In reality, we’ll see government bureaucracy stifle innovation, diminish choice, and impose rationing measures that infringe upon our freedom to make our own decisions. Wherever government inserts its heavy hand, inefficiency and scarcity follow.
Literally everything that government touches is harmed, spoiled, or completely ruined. That’s the nature of a nation that was built on the concept of limited government but that has seen government power surge for over a century.
The political landscape of our nation appears to be shifting right before our eyes, yet many remain oblivious to the changes unfolding.
Hopefully, a sufficient number of individuals will become cognizant of this disconcerting reality and wield their votes to halt its expansion before it spirals beyond control.
