Public grocery stores are having a moment. Can they really make food more affordable?
From Toronto to New York City, politicians want to tackle rising food costs with government-run grocery stores. Politicians championing the plan say these stores would sell staple items at lower prices than private grocery stores. But critics say the idea is half-baked and will only waste public money.

Forcing the question is OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, which has been pushing an “OpenAI for Countries” initiative. It is not the only one eyeing its share of the $2-billion, but it appears to be the most aggressive.
