Socialism for the elite but not for the masses?

They dont sell goods at cost 99% of the time. DECA uses a cost+ model and loss leaders to compete with external price pressures ( e.g. Milk). There is some good discussion on the cross posted link about the commissary, px and military living
And at Navy and Marine bases, you can find a NEX (Navy Exchange) which is just a big department store that sells all the major brands. They even have video games and toys.
Growing up in a Navy family we had many weekend shopping trips to the Navy Exchange, mostly because it was lower priced and tax free.
They have a lot of good stuff
BX/base exchange for air force, PX for army. Depending in the base civilians can shop there, usually not contractors tho.
More perfect union just did a video on this
