    I can’t believe I’m saying this, but… to be fair to the Wall Street Journal, it read like an article with basic factual information. It even talked about why this is bad for Trump.

      The article is an example of selection bias. Prices are up on most groceries, manufacturers are reaping record profits.

      Well, coffee had a disease issue and oranges have weather problems so let’s focus on those.

      This isn’t to say that the article isn’t being truthful and what they are saying but they are specifically trying to paint a picture to hide corporate greed.

      Nobody’s accusing them of printing non factual info, the billionaire owned paper is phrasing the symptoms of wealth inequality as the fault of poor people for eating food.

      They don’t want to point the finger at the people responsible because they are owned by those people.

      Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives.
