Polymarket is opening the first free grocery store in New York City. It’s not clear if they’ve taken out any special insurance in case the “nice” folks in the city start fighting each other for a pork chop.

Pork chops?
Under mayor Mamdummy won’t the stores have to be halal?
Too bad the doors are locked.
Can I get a rain cheque if something is out of stock?
The Liberal Doom Loop, part II.
Five days to blow through a million dollars.
So if a store like this were open long-term, 5 days a week in NYC it would (theoretically) lose $260 million a year. Your mileage may vary.
Thank you, NYC for demonstrating that it is possible to vote yourself into poverty. Can we interest you in some surplus EVs?
You don’t mean “for a pork chop”….you mean for THE pork chop.
“ The announcement comes just days after rival Kalshi made a similar move, when owner George Zoitas gave hundreds of shoppers at Westside Market in the East Village $50 each toward their groceries.”
Both places are in Lower Manhattan? Famous for its starving masses or something? Please. Call me when they have the stones to open a store in the Bronx. My guess is they’re afraid to. It will be a full scale riot on opening day.
One disaster at a time.
According to the article the store will only be open for 10 days. My bet (pun intended) is that they are opening the store to gamble on the outcome. It’s cheaper than having to bribe NFL players.
It’s a pretty obvious publicity stunt, aimed at Polymarket’s bread and butter market—lazy and stupid people who think they can get something for nothing.
If it’s free, you’re the product.
If you can’t tell who the sucker is in any given con, it’s you.
When I first glanced at this item, I thought it said “Polypmarket”, and I thought, now that’s refreshingly frank! But then I looked again.
Many years ago, a Mewling Quim I know was lecturing me that “health care should be free” blah, blah, blah.
(She’s always the smartest person in the room.)
I countered that I didn’t need health care every day, but I sure as shit needed food everyday and that “food should be free”.
Leftists are retarded.
Check the picture, lot of Pringles , RedBull , Oreos, Coke , with a few fruits and vegetables. Wonder which ones will be the most frequented items !
Once voters discover they can vote for virtually UNLIMITED free shit … it’s over. Our country is over. Oh, it will feel “fun” for a moment while everyone is freed to pursue their personal …”art”. But soon they’ll be occupied with the food riots, housing riots, fuel riots … yeah … full on Mad Max … only with more shooting, less driving.
When Black Friday comes
I’ll stand down by the door
And catch the gray men when they
Dive from the fourteenth floor
When Black Friday comes
I’ll collect everything I’m owed
And before my friends find out
I’ll be on the road
When Black Friday falls
You know it’s got to be
Don’t let it fall on me

The real FUN starts at 1:40. Damn! this man is awesome!
Tytler’s Maxim: democracy only lasts until the people realize they can vote themselves largess out of the public treasury.
Does this Tytler pre-date de Tocqueville?
New York should have a city-run cannabis vendor called “de Tokeville”…
If you ever wondered what it was like standing for hours in a Soviet bread line, you’re about to find out. Much sooner than later.
