I have a question about the whole Mamdani grocery store hoopla (www.msn.com)

So Mamdani has announced he wants to open a humanitarian-style store. A part of the description mentions it's going to be based in food people need. That made me want to ask, is it going to be like the Country Buffet where you pay what you weigh? Because if so, I'm cooked because I'm fat. Thanks stupid thyroid :(

Aside from the fact Hochul's Upstate New York tax may or may not be going toward this (people should pay for their own projects), I do support his idea and would technically forgive the pay-what-you-weigh rule being a rule even though I'd feel left out.

Is this satire? Please tell me this is satire. I want to respond to all the stupidity in this comment. But I know I'm autistic and sometimes can't tell.
