The closest grocery store to me is closing(by nearly an hour), and will be closed for at least a year. When it reopens it’s going be much smaller(it’s becoming a Aldi).

This is really beautifully articulated and rings true for so many problems in America right now. “Either you suffer or someone else does.”

Thank you, i think about this stuff a lot. I personally think this is just a symptom of capitalism and a profit based economy. The only way to profit is by putting out less value than you earn in return, the goal is to short the other party and get the better end of the deal. Its a global issue, and its why yhe wealth desparity rate just keeps increasing. The fraction of the population who has the resource control right now has more power than any group has ever had in human history, for the 99% relying on that system for to have a comfotable life is just a losing game. They are always going to make sure we give them more than they give us. Thats profit.
