I'm not. We just are not agreeing on the outcome.
You've already decided that the solution will fail because.... it must fail?
I've decided it can succeed and that there are much larger opportunities for benefits than just opening a public grocery store.
The biggest risk is that whatever government implements the solution would need to stay in power for a couple of terms to allow it enough runway to mature. Otherwise some corporatist party would come in with a sledgehammer and break it immediately so that their corporate friends can get back to pillaging us for profits.
