The Economic Cost of Food Monopolies
The Grocery Cartels

“Simply put, market power enables intermediaries like retailers and processors to capture an ever-growing share of food dollars, at the expense of farmers, food chain workers and eaters…

The U.S. DOJ and the FTC are supposed to consider the impacts on market consolidation of proposed mergers. Using these agencies’ very own measurement, over a third of grocery categories we surveyed exceed their ‘highly concentrated’ market threshold. Regardless, the agencies continue to greenlight mergers and acquisitions within these market categories.”

This report recommends Grocery Cooperatives, Food Hubs, local food processors, decentralized/diversified food systems, and that consolidation be stopped.

A Kroger-Albertsons Merger Would Be Bad for Almost Everyone Why a coalition called Stop the Merger plans to “fight like hell” to prevent it

“As big companies keep getting bigger, their competitors disappear and prices keep going up. In fact, Food & Water Watch research found that in 2019, just four companies took in nearly 70 percent of all grocery sales in the country.”

Do farmers and farm workers pay the price when doing business with a monopoly grocery store? If consumers instead take their business to farmers markets or road stands, this monopoly power is avoided.

1/8/2023
Sometimes the general public needs protection from what big business does. A perfect example is Kroger trying to buy Vons/Albertsons.

Kroger pushed the COVID jabs. Now, Kroger wants to grab up their grocery store competitors that didn’t push the vaxxes? One of Kroger’s stores, Food4Less, was even posting a guard at the front of one of their nearby stores – presumably to make sure customers were wearing a mask? As a customer, I was able to cut up my Kroger’s card and shop at other local grocery stores.

“Big companies promoting terrible mergers that cause untold layoffs and consumer and market harms — while promising none of that will actually happen — is a proud, fifty-plus year American tradition. And it requires a symbiosis with lazy, (not-coincidentally also highly consolidated) major media empires.”

THE COUNTER SIGNAL


9/5/2023
The global OWNERS want to keep us focused on their narratives and distracted from their fascism. Are we going to fall for their narrative manipulations? Are we going to follow their shiny bouncing ball?

The Ukraine/Russia conflict ramped up right after the vicious Canadian government response to peaceful trucker protests… and the freezing of protester funds by banks in Canada. The narrative shift happened just as trucker protests in USA and Russia were ramping up.

At the same time, COVID CON mostly disappeared because political advisors advised it be ramped down and forgotten by November USA elections. Meanwile, infrastructure for digital ID mass enslavement is quietly being implemented in many states in the USA. China already has social credit scores & digital ID via smart phones. This allows the government to keep their subjects completely controlled.

Silent Spring
Book by Rachel Carson

Silent Spring began with a “fable for tomorrow” – a true story using a composite of examples drawn from many real communities where the use of DDT had caused damage to wildlife, birds, bees, agricultural animals, domestic pets, and even humans.

Utilizing her many sources in federal science and in private research, Carson spent over six years documenting her analysis that humans were misusing powerful, persistent, chemical pesticides before knowing the full extent of their potential harm to the whole biota.

She admonished her readers and audiences to ask “Who Speaks, And Why?” and therein to set the seeds of social revolution. She identified human hubris and financial self-interest as the crux of the problem and asked if we could master ourselves and our appetites to live as though we humans are an equal part of the earth’s systems and not the master of them.

Silent Spring inspired the modern environmental movement, which began in earnest a decade later. It is recognized as the environmental text that “changed the world.”

Farmworkers win key glyphosate decision

“On June 17, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals confirmed what we have long known – that the EPA’s safety findings are deeply flawed. The court’s decision in Rural Coalition, et al. v. U.S. EPA overturned the agency’s determination that glyphosate is not likely to cause cancer. It also held that the EPA failed to protect species listed under the Endangered Species Act before approving glyphosate.”
