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 --> 00:00:21,240
Speaker 1: businesses that support them, like supermarkets. New markets and upscale

7
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:25,880
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
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: in rich neighborhoods, poor Washington d C. Neighborhoods have not

10
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:37,360
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
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 1: has grown worse. How bad is it well, in poor neighborhoods,

13
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 1: there are fifty thousand people for every grocery store. In

14
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: the rich areas, there are ten thousand people per store.

15
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: They're rich have more grocery options than the poor. Rich

16
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: people live in neighborhoods that cater to foodies. Poor people

17
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: live with food insecurities. Supermarkets and poor neighborhoods have another disadvantage.

18
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: They've got to make thirty more profit than the rich

19
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: competitors to offset the cost of shoplifting, security, and high

20
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: staff turnover. Oh yeah, that might explain why poor neighborhoods

21
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 1: have fewer stores. But that's beside the point. You have

22
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 1: to stick to the narrative, which is life in America

23
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 1: is unfair because the rich have stolen everything the poor

24
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 1: had
