I have been thinking about how groceries can be requested and distributed in a world that is not a capitalist hellscape. The shelves of contemporary supermarkets while nice feel like advertisement spots and the way they are stocked seems wasteful just to give an impression of abundance and prosperity.

While in person stores in some shape or form will always continue to exist, I love the idea of online services like BigBasket in India being set up as a public utility. It's an online storefront where you buy groceries. They have a delivery truck that goes to certain neighborhoods once everyday and drop off the goods. It should be great for at least the staples.

Of course bigbasket have not branched out to a slave summoning app where you purchase can be delivered to you within 15 minutes but I like the original idea.

Universal Basic Services and then nationalize food delivery apps through the USPS. Hell, you could nationalize basically all of our infrastructure and turn it from a capitalist one into a not-capitalist one overnight. They're internally already socialist economies anyway.
