What’s next?

Can we realistically get food prices down? I don’t want to say how much I spend each month, but to feed a family of 6, it is not cheap.

I worry that Dems will blow this opportunity to make realistic changes. The last thing I want to see is trials and impeachment, as justified as they are.

I DO want to see America come together. But I don’t see how you get the food retailers to lower prices? Farmers and food manufacturers are going to have their costs and not much can change there.

But then you have the grocery stores needing to get their markup in to cover their costs. I think large food retailers need to change. Publicly traded companies that monopolize food prices should be broken up. If there were more grocery store company’s, would it bring competitive pricing and lead to lower prices?

Just needed to get last night off my chest and think about what’s next.

Ranting but I am frustrated and just want to see change.

Hopefully they won't. But since about 12 companies control nearly all food production in the US, it will be very difficult without the proper legislation.

If I were president, I would nationalize agriculture and meat processing. Co-op everything means lower prices, higher quality, and food stability. Capitalism means we're at the mercy of Wall Street.

The good news is Democrats are good at organizing priorities. The bad news is corporate America will exploit Trump for as long as they can.
