My friends, the Washington Post has discovered how unfair life in America is right in

their own backyard. Washington, DC, is prospering. Population in the district has been growing by

leaps and bounds. Some neighborhoods are becoming more affluent by the day. As affluent neighborhood

grows, 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 10 years, while supermarkets

have multiplied in rich neighborhoods, poor Washington DC neighborhoods have not fared as well.

The post reports that in the poorest neighborhoods, the number of supermarkets have plummeted.

A long-standing grocery gap has grown worse. How bad is it? Well, in poor neighborhoods, there are

50,000 people for every grocery store. In the rich areas, there are 10,000 people per store.

The 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 30% 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.
