Yeah the way it's said and what they mean are both bullshit but it wouldn't surprise me if all the financial tricks they've used have hidden a very real loss in actual purchasing power for the wealthy that doesn't involve them just having more than whatever the poor have got and they're actually realizing that regardless of what number they put in front of their name it only buys what people are selling for that number, which is rapidly becoming less and less every day. Edit: If that article is about like people who make alot of money but aren't rich rich whatever my point still stands. They'll sell out their whip crackers and automators and be surprised when no one comes to replace them at an acceptable price because they didn't have any trained in their sphere of influence. thechosenone has issued a correction as of 03:26 on Dec 27, 2023 |

HashtagGirlboss posted:Food deserts are an idiotic concept that mostly is used by industry to get fat tax credits to open a store in an area they think might be profitable but isn’t a sure bet Food deserts are a real thing but when you boil them down to what matters (convenience food predominates, cannot buy produce or ingredients to cook real meals) it ends up describing a lot of white areas and white people do not like that. You cannot reliably shop at Trader Joes to cook meals, their stock in trade is unhealthy convenience food. Don't tell Trader Joes superfans that they live in a food desert, they'll poo poo themselves.

The real measure of whether you can have good food is time, and middle class communities are just as time-stressed as poor communities nowadays. You can buy a meal from Dollar General to throw in the microwave, you can buy a meal from Walmart to throw in the microwave, you can buy a meal from Trader Joes to throw in the microwave. It's all the same poo poo at the end of the day.

Don't tell Trader Joes superfans that they live in a food desert, they'll poo poo themselves. Lmfao you could not be more wrong. The concept of a food desert is grocery store corporations looking for public subsidies to build stores in areas that are marginal but might be profitable but they aren’t certain enough to want to pull the trigger On the list of reasons that people in very poor communities don’t home cook healthy meals on a nightly basis (which is actually false to begin with, plenty do), and the ones who don’t it’s because 1. they don’t own pots and pans and cooking implements, 2. they are the product of intergenerational trauma who never got taught how to prepare food by their parents or at school, 3. they spend so much time commuting to and from and at lovely abusive employment that they don’t have the energy or bandwidth to bother with making an extra stop at the grocery store and then also doing the work 4. the appliances in their rental don’t work, or the utilities are off because  5. on a simple calories to effort and cost basis lovely food makes more sense in the short termNone, absolutely none, of these issues are solved by giving Safeway a massive property tax break to open a new store on the very gentrifying edge of the area that’s been deemed a food desert People move around fine. For work, for fun, for family obligations, the poorest people in LA and Memphis and Chicago and other places food deserts are a huge cause, they can figure out how to get around town. It’s not the specific location of the corporate food retailer, it’s just fifty other things we’d rather not address HashtagGirlboss has issued a correction as of 04:42 on Dec 27, 2023 |

being able to get food without a car is basically impossible for 90% of america already and if you have a car you can always drive further away to get food. a food desert sort of implies getting food without a car, so 90% of america is a food desert in that case.

Last I looked, the definition of food desert was specifically about whether stores with a certain amount of fresh fruits and vegetables was located in the area. It didn't matter if anyone bought the fresh vegetables, or that frozen ones might be available for a reasonable price at other stores. More reasonably priced, large selection stores are always better but it does seem like the stories are always about whole foods opening and closing rather than an Aldi, so I suspect the lobbying for tax breaks is a real thing. Heck, a lot of Chicago didn't have Walmarts for ages, to protect local businesses, but that's a store that would have been affordable for groceries. It's just not a politically palatable one.

I'm just saying that from my POV a food desert is a lot more than just a poor (non-white) neighborhood and white people don't like admitting that.

Walmart ain't good though, that's the thing, their produce blows and produce is fundamental to creating a decent food environment You're better off with a small community asian or latino grocery than you are with a Walmart.
