What is cheaper?

A) The government building an entire logistical supply and warehousing chain across the country for groceries to support food welfare. Cold food, meat, spoilage & waste, a bunch of federal jobs.

or

B) The government gives citizens a bit of money, which they then spend at existing warehouses (with existing logistical supply chains) to buy food. Some existing warehouses will accumulate larger shares of this money, as it has more customers.

The existing warehouses in example B are called grocery stores, like Walmart.

do you expect that the problems walmart solves are easy? or do you think that the government could do it cheaper if they were in charge?

edit: or maybe the communities served by walmart should build their own rain ponchos and bananas locally.

if walmart unfairly used its monopolistic position to steal from consumers, then of course i support serving justice.

is the point of this conversation just to proclaim you don't like some guys? what is your claim here? what action do you desire the collective to take? what is the rule that society should follow?

why do you expect that rule to lead to a more prosperous, thriving society?
