This Is Fine

Why isn’t the real story ever that food conglomerates are jacking up prices just because they can, and seeing record profits as a result? I mean yes, there is “inflation,” but we should be hearing about WHY that’s happening. :rage:

There are stories all the time reporting record profits for the megaconglomerates that run our food supply, and more about the financial ruin of farms and farmers across the country, but precious few that connect these facts to the ongoing inflation we see. Why are we having to pay more for food? So the corporate bosses can line their pockets and report ever more incredible quarterly profits. Not nearly as easy as “Thanks, Biden” though.

Oh wow. I wonder if that’s part of why my skin reacts to some bandaid adhesives if they are left on for more than a few hours? We have Welly Bravery bandages at the house because that’s a brand I don’t react to.

Also, I’m not surprised but still disgusted by how many of the bandaids marketed to BIPOC have these dangerous chemicals
