Public grocery stores are having a moment. Can they really make food more affordable? | CBC Radio

@newsguyusa Jesus Fucking Christ. These #fascist #ghouls will never be able to let go of the fact some people identify differently.

Here's my input for the #federal #government:

Spend your time figuring out how to lower #gas and #grocery #prices.

Spend your time figuring out how make #healthcare and #prescription #drugs more #affordable.

Spend your time reducing the cost of #housing.

Spend your time humanely solving #homelessness.

Spend your time getting #Trump out of office.

Spend your time improving physical and online #privacy for #Americans.

Spend your time eliminating #ICE.
