Since according to Bill Ackman the presence of a place you can buy eggs without a 100% markup is going to plunge NYC instantly into a Mad Max / Escape from New York style hellscape, what gangs are we all joining?

Stores will sell goods at below cost

People will steal from stores without fear of reprisal

People steal more food the more affordable it is :very-smart:

Also why would there be no reprisal, its still illegal to steal from there. Or are you saying the cops just won't give a shit because its not private capital? Hmm?
