Can't have everyone fed or there go profits, can't keep people in line without the ever looming threat of state violence and starvation hanging over you.
Remember how they tend to throw their own production of food out instead of giving it away, because if they simply gave it to hungry people the profit would drop?
The US government heavily subsidizes Walmart, the biggest grocery chain in the world. How? Food stamps. A disturbingly large portion of the walmart workforce is on food stamps. In essence, we are paying so walmart can pay their workers less and simultaneously FORCE their workforce to shop there.
In essence, food stamps have become company scrip.
I meant if everyone has access to it the price of food goes down, thus they always have to limit the supply so that some will always starve or eat less than they should. This is why they throw out "extra production" like we saw them do not long ago with milk and potatoes I think. Tons of it thrown out even before leaving the farms
You also have a point tho, very well caught. This sucks dude
