Dollar stores do not sell fresh produce, they pay their employees shit wages, force them to work holidays, they exploit hiring programs for disabled people, and they choke out local businesses, but yeah let's build more.
Government ran grocery stores are an overreach of government authority and a waste of money. Instead we should be subsidizing businesses like Walmart/ Dollar general to put stores in food deserts, that way you get actual quality food at economy of scale

Dollar general is like the worst possible example for solving food deserts since it literally causes them to

Yeah sorry but us normal human beings don’t have the luxury of being able to afford to worry about things like that. We’re all just trying to feed ourselves and pay rent, so I’m gonna keep going to my dollar store. This is why I fuckin hate performative ass rich people

This has gotta be either ragebait or a showcase of the human body’s remarkable ability to operate without conscious thought

I definitely have conscious thought and I’m not ragebaiting. I’m just broke and I’m tired of people with money criticizing those can’t afford to choose to shop at shit like Whole Foods or wherever the fuck people with money get their food from. If you have such a problem with me being able to feed myself for a day for a low price that’s on you. I’m not gonna stop going to dollar tree because some entitled brat on yikyak wants to complain about their hiring practices

Do you actually have conscious thought? Because right now you sound like ChatGPT with how little you’re considering the obvious issue of nutritional deficiencies. This is gonna sound crazy, I know, but having access to food other than Takis does not make you the bourgeoisie. I just don’t think you actually know why a food desert is bad and have not put in the cognitive effort to think for 2 seconds about why not having access to fresh produce might be a problem.

Ew Takis are fucking disgusting 🤮 🤮. Also my dollar tree has fresh produce. Well not that fresh but it’s still produce. Potatoes are dirt cheap and they’re really filling

Hey it's not your fault, it's the system that has allowed such a place to exist. Their business operates like Walmart, choking out local places and working with local governments. They're a bad company that targets communities with no other choices. The fact that you have to rely on them is one of the many issues our system made.

And you don’t need to go to god damn Whole Foods for a zucchini you dolt. I qualify for fucking food stamps and I can still get fresh, nutritional food if I go to Aldi. Which is something I can’t find in the Dollar General nearby. Go look up the Wikipedia article on food deserts. Or if you’re too lazy to do so, here’s a highlighted passage that I think explains my point about why food deserts are bad pretty well.
