I'm excited to share something I've been working on for some time now: I’m moving off of Twitter (completely) to more deeply explore similar topics - and share more about my work - in a different format with a smaller group. See you on the other side.

After it has been a year, schedule a meeting for a year out and revisit. "Just in time" vs "just in case"

Gross misrepresentation of the argument. It isn't that it will destroy capitalism - it's that it will hurt future citizens.

There's nothing so permanent as a temporary government program.

The short answer: yes. The reasoning is that it isn't fair, just, or right to help citizens now by screwing future citizens with the inevitable crony-run, money-losing grocery store that will have perverse incentives negatively impacting health and take money from other programs.

My position is that, except in certain very extreme cases, if there aren't compelling answers to these questions, it's a no.

This is what I mean by saying grocery is in what calls the 'valley of mismatch', and why intervention now is a bad idea.

Meaning, when a startup model has failed over and over again, you ask: why is it different this time? If there isn't a great answer, it's a pass. When a familiar government venture is proposed again, that same rigor isn't applied.

Easy. Apply the same rigor to government models as you already apply to business models :)

It just shut down last year! Premature intervention causes predictable iatrogenics, to paraphrase

Yes. The state solution is a bet against innovation in the food supply chain. There’s a temporary gap as food is in ‘valley of mismatch’ and papering over it with systems that create more problems only delays a more optimal solution coming to market.

To paraphrase Pete Cordell: "telling a VC there's already a fund to back X is like telling a songwriter there's already a song about love."
