1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: My friends. The Washington Post is discovered how unfair life

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 1: in America is right in their own backyard, Washington, d

3
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: C is prospering. Population in the district has been growing

4
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 1: by leaps and mountains. Some neighborhoods are becoming more affluent

5
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:16,919
Speaker 1: by the day. As affluent neighborhoods grow, so do the

6
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 1: businesses that support them, like supermarkets. New markets and upscale

7
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: neighborhoods are targeting foodies with all sorts of exotic items.

8
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 1: But over the past ten years, while supermarkets have multiplied

9
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 1: in rich neighborhoods, poor Washington d C. Neighborhoods have not

10
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: fared as well. The Post reports that in the poorest neighborhoods,

11
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:42,200
Speaker 1: the number of supermarkets have plummeted. A longstanding grocery gap

12
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 1: has grown worse. How bad is it well, in poor neighborhoods,

13
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: there are fifty thousand people for every grocery store. In

14
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 1: the rich areas, there are ten thousand people per store.

15
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: They're rich have more grocery options than the poor. Rich

16
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 1: people live in neighborhoods that cater to foodies. Poor people

17
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: live with food in securities. Supermarkets and poor neighborhoods have

18
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:08,400
Speaker 1: another disadvantage. They've got to make thirty more profit than

19
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 1: the rich competitors to offset the cost of shoplifting, security,

20
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 1: and high staff turnover. Oh yeah, that might explain why

21
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: poor neighborhoods have fewer stores. But that's beside the point.

22
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: You have to stick to the narrative, which is life

23
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: in America is unfair because the rich have stolen everything

24
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: the poor had
