Our guest this week helped expose how Pepsi and Walmart work hard to keep prices high, local competition down, and the evidence of their likely collusion secret.
President Faso Razo has done everything he could to hurt you. He doesn’t give a shit if you die of Pepsi exposure cancer anything and what you pay. He’s never been in a grocery store. Do you understand what you fucking voted for?
It's the 70s for sure that ushered in the ongoing era of greed. I recall from 60s college econ how "inelastic" food demand was making it a boring supply vs. demand subject. With the evaporation of the moral businessman (was there ever such a thing?), came the manipulation of the businesses and industries people needed just to live. Wait, wait, if people need this to live, let's buy it up, corner the market and raise prices. "Like a good neighbor........."
I'm a big fan of ILSR. I learned about them through Community Broadband Networks. Thanks for mentioning them and bringing them to your podcast. I'm hearing impaired so it would be nice to get the transcript of the interview with Stacey Mitchell.

Stacy and ILSR are some of my favorite people. Thanks for having her on!
This really makes you wonder how many everyday price hikes aren’t inflation at all, but power quietly flexing behind the scenes.
