"In the United States, Amazon has opened its own supermarket chain to supplant its business rivals Walmart and Target and capture the American groceries market. In China, Alibaba and JD.com are investing in various areas of the food supply chain. They’re opening their own poultry, fruit and vegetable farms, and replacing human labor with AI-controlled machines. What impact is this kind of commercial revolution having on working conditions, food quality and the future of our planet? Featuring rare documents and witness statements, the documentary takes a look behind the scenes of these temples to consumerism."
- The monopolies will keep growing...until they are stopped.formed
- Education. We need more education. AND, USA needs to stop insulation - we need to travel outside the borders more - we need to understand the global economy...canoe
- is not the only economy. How does this happen - by education and travel - to see first-hand people survive without Walmart. We did at one point. Thanks Obama!canoe

- capitalism in the US I suppose but even then. The race thing is total BS. The darker your skin the more successful you are in silicon valley and in medicine_niko
- and in engineering etc. Globally, the colour of Saudi's skin hasn't hurt them one iota, nor the Chinese, or Koreans or Japanese...it's all race baiting BS._niko
- the only important colour that matters is Green. period._niko

One of the Country’s Best Steakhouses Allegedly Spent $2 Million in Pandemic Funds on a Private Jet.
Maple & Ash locations in Chicago and Arizona benefitted from about $7.6 million in PPP money. However, the investors suing the restaurant claim that none of that money went toward helping the business and its employees. Rather, bank statements show that $2.2 million was spent on a 12-seat 2007 Learjet and that more than $32,000 was paid to a Chicago country club.

- how i feeI walking into the grocery store. wonder if Biden printing 3 trillion dollars of monopoly money have anything to do w it.hotroddy
- ^ Desperate GOP reaching.CyBrainX
- or those trillions Trump/Bush handed out to the wealthiest, eh hrod? 57% of the increased debt.formed
- $10 trillion in wealthy welfare. Fucking disgusting and criminal.formed
- Biden doesn't live in my country but the cinemas are equally as pricey.PhanLo
- riddle me this - what do you think would happen if you distributed $10 trillion to everyone? Are we initiating another cycle of inflation?hotroddy
- it worked so well with the pandemic PPP loans ;). Why not, right?hotroddy
- Overpriced heart attack theater food has been the case since day 1.CyBrainX
- Distributed plenty money to the banks not so long ago. That worked out tippedy fucking topPhanLo
- distributing money to banks is not the same. The more money in people's pockets the less it's worth. Not a hard concept to grasphotroddy
- Hotroddy I think you're possibly retarded for capitalism.PhanLo
- A direct consequence of witnessing your family's entire life savings is pulverized due to inflation/socialism.hotroddy
- The gov't knows it and is not a priority as keeping you poor will only make you depend on their policies even more.hotroddy
- Pensioners and children work in minimum wage jobs, just to get by in the country you currently live in. Sorry you moved from the 3rd world to the 3rd worldPhanLo
- Distributed money didn't cause greedflation, corporations raising prices did. Freeze prices.i_monk
- damn those corporate farmers raising eggs and milk prices. to the guillotinehotroddy
- You know most farms are corporations, right? They aren't quaint family plots like in the commercials. And if the store doubles the selling price, why wouldn'ti_monk
- they increase the price they sell to the stores?i_monk
- fertilizer costs are significantly higher then they were before the pandemic. Who's fault is that?hotroddy
- I bet you would argue for putting price controls on everything. And producers will stop producing if they can't turn a profit.hotroddy
- Deflection, deflection...PPP was successful. I know plenty of businesses, myself included, that wouldn't have survived without (and wouldn't have jobs now).formed
- As to 'what I think would happne with the money...". As real data shows over nad over, if you give the lower/middle class, it goes back into the economy.formed
- Give welfare, a la socialism, to the wealthiest and they hoard, if lucky to us, they invest in the markets. but that's pennies.formed
- So if you're 'ok' with giving the handouts to the .01%, at the expense of everyone else, then you are clearly a socialist.formed
