My friends. The Washington Post is discovered how unfair life in America is right in their own backyard, Washington, d C is prospering. Population in the district has been growing by leaps and mountains. Some neighborhoods are becoming more affluent by the day. As affluent neighborhoods grow, so do the businesses that support them, like supermarkets. New markets and upscale neighborhoods are targeting foodies with all sorts of exotic items.
But over the past ten years, while supermarkets have multiplied in rich neighborhoods, poor Washington d C. Neighborhoods have not fared as well. The Post reports that in the poorest neighborhoods, the number of supermarkets have plummeted. A longstanding grocery gap has grown worse. How bad is it well, in poor neighborhoods, there are fifty thousand people for every grocery store. In the rich areas, there are ten thousand people per store.
They're rich have more grocery options than the poor. Rich people live in neighborhoods that cater to foodies. Poor people live with food in securities. Supermarkets and poor neighborhoods have another disadvantage. They've got to make thirty more profit than the rich competitors to offset the cost of shoplifting, security, and high staff turnover. Oh yeah, that might explain why poor neighborhoods have fewer stores. But that's beside the point.
You have to stick to the narrative, which is life in America is unfair because the rich have stolen everything the poor had
