Seriously? A trained senior CIA officer’s best idea for hiding his ill-gotten gains was to store it in his house? Melting them down and turning them into something else was not a choice? Had he never watched The Lavender Hill Mob?

Gen-Z and inflation
A young Gen-Z woman found her mum’s grocery receipt from 2006. Many tears are wept – justifiably.
In 2006, a dozen eggs set back the poster’s mom $1.28. Today at Walmart, 12 cage-free brown eggs cost $2.66 — a rise of 108%. 2.45 lbs of tomatoes cost $3.04, but today that same amount would set a shopper back $4.85, and for cherry tomatoes a whopping $12.42 — a rise of 309%. Cereal has seen some of the steepest inflation. While it cost the 2006 shopper $1.86, most of the cereals for sale at Walmart today would set a shopper back between $5 and $6. A bag of sweet peas cost 33c in 2006. Today a bag is $2.48. Ketchup has risen from $1.94 to nearly $5 — a rise of 158%.

People outside of DC don’t realize what a transformation this is. Union Station used to be packed with drugged out zombies shambling around screaming at passersby, and barefoot, piss-soaked homeless people passed out on the floor. Columbus Circle right outside used to be a gross dead fountain surrounded by dirt and tents. That is what used to greet you when you stepped off the train. Now we have an entrance to our capital city befitting an empire.

The Most Canadian News Story

==========================
The contemporary UK food system generally lacks the ability to apply race, gender, and class analysis to how food systems should change. The Sankofa Report: British Colonialism and the UK Food System delves into the numerous layers of inequalities in the current UK food system, stemming from the legacies of colonialism and exploitation. It highlights issues such as underrepresentation in the sector, food insecurity, lack of access to green space for marginalised communities and to the dominance of western epistemologies (theory of knowledge) in food research. Most importantly, the report emphasises that in order to create meaningful and lasting shifts, we must confront and address the forces that have shaped our present food system.
Awesome shit from groups with titles like “Nourish Scotland”, “Food Matters”, and “Nourishing Justice” and “Eating Better”.
Coming to New Zealand soon!
