Live By the Dollar, Die By the Dollar
... as food for human consumption and quality items are being phased out
The State of the Union: On borrowed time, on borrowed money, fully muzzled
Poverty attacks
Paying attention to the dollar has become imperative as the introduction of the CBDCs1 and the WHO tyranny2 are approaching. Canada is already introducing its “social credit” system in the name of “equity,” of course3. Equity, in short, means that everyone has the same rights, that is, none, and in the end, as Orwell observed in Animal Farm, some will be more equal than others. No need to make a fuss over that; it’s always been the same, except the tools of control are now overwhelmingly supporting the rulers on the global scale, and most commoners don’t even know how they are being manipulated, turned on each other, and eliminated.
The social credit system follows the Chinese pattern, as I already described it in 2022:
Who Is the Creditor for Your (Anti)Social Credit? Check!
China is showing the way! For the time being, this looks like you might have a chance! The only part that is true of this project is that people are fully exposed and submissive enough to be completely defenseless. All those computer games with several levels and collectable points must have prepared the compliant for this!
Besides the social credit system, it seems that the food supply is also following suit:
In for a penny, in for a pound, I suppose. The pennies always add up, which explains the reason why poor people are usually more generous than the rich. These days, those poor people are being cornered, and the number of corners is running out.
When the Detroit automotive workers’ jobs were first taken to Mexico in the 1980s, the $60 hourly wages dropped to $15, at least for those who were lucky enough to keep their jobs. Still, even $15 in those days exceeded the spending power of $30 today, and somehow, $16-18 per hour is the only thing that survived the decades that have passed since to first wave of moving American jobs abroad.
The current attack is now focusing on the pennies of the poor, because that’s all they have left. Who is poor? With the middle class disappearing rapidly, just about everybody is, except for state and federal workers, who are still receiving the same “bonus” packages that taxpayers have never been able to afford and didn’t receive themselves, and only government pensions would be enough to send local and state governments down the same hole of bankruptcy as the one the federal government favors. Another way to demonstrate the presence of poverty is to refer to the official figure that show that 60 percent of Americans who don’t even have $400 reserved for emergencies. I don’t necessarily consider that a reliable figure, because not everyone keeps their money in the bank to make sure they are forced to pay taxes.
Attack by food
What’s more iconic in the consumer culture of the 21st-century United States than the 99-cent stores? Americans buy more food there than at Walmart (well, it’s cheaper and it isn’t any worse).
Since the end of May, 2023, it’s been legal to “vaccinate” the population through the food supply4, and “organic” products can contain up to 5% of whatever, and out of the 5%, a small fragment is enough to be toxic. The use of GMOs is not mandatory to list on packages, and last time I looked, if something is present only in traces (less than 1%), buyers are left with the manufacturers’ good graces, and might or might not be informed about the contents of their food (even if they are, the labels are misleading, because they contain cryptic elements and/or toxins presented as “vitamins”; food is often “fortified” with harmful synthetic ingredients. As for such details, as long as you can see some of the details (and the days are approaching, when labels will be gone), you can check them out for yourself:

While the poor can’t afford to keep destroying their health at McDonald’s any longer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMslf5albGs), the processed food at Dollar stores is taking over a significant portion of the food supply:

Dollar General is stealing from their customers. It’s a major scam that’s siphoning hundreds of millions of dollars from the poorest people in America.
People sometimes realize that dollar stores are destroying their food supply and affect local businesses in other ways:

Roughly 60 towns and cities have made changes to their zoning laws since 2018 to prevent dollar stores from opening within their limits

Chicago: new restrictions on dollar stores
The restrictions apply to any store between 4,000 and 17,500 square feet that “continuously offers or advertises a majority of the items in their inventory for sale at a price less than $5.00 per item”

Across America, many communities are starting to question the impact of dollar stores. Criticisms range from providing low-quality, unhealthy food options to actively blocking the establishment of stores with more nutritious offerings.
The two largest chains, Dollar General and Dollar Tree, own a total of 35,000 stores, generating $37.8 billion and $28.3 billion in revenue, respectively, in 2022.

Why Dollar stores?
Dollar stores sell a lot of junk food that poor people buy. Whatever people buy there, they are not going to buy at their local grocery store, which makes it difficult, if not impossible, for local stores to survive. Dollar stores don’t offer a selection of comestibles that at least remotely resemble anything fit for human consumption. The same is true for everything else they sell, although the rest might not force other stores directly out of business, only to be content with decreased revenues.
The irony of it is that 99-cent stores are now selling everything for $1.25 plus tax, which in the last year already sometimes cost more than the same items in traditional stores.
IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE GLOBALISTS’ FARCE TO MAKE FUN OF PEOPLE BY MAKING THEM PAY FOR THEIR OWN EXECUTION. Taunting the powerless has become extremely prevalent in the last three years, and I’m sure the technocrats see it as a proof of their superiority over the “useless eaters,” whose corpses have been legalized to utilize as fertilizers in two states already, which can add more plastics, preservatives, hormones, and nanoparticles to the food supply. The method is normalized5 in public by calling it “body removal services.”
Any body out there? Body Removal Services Breaking Novel Grounds!*
Still, on this side of the grass, something portentous is happening.
Do you think eating bugs is a novelty6? There has long been an “FDA-approved” limit to insect contents in food, whenever applicable, which makes me wonder how much role that plays in “gluten sensitivity7.”

As it is privately-owned, it’s inescapably part of the globalist investment network.
There are, however, alternative views of the company out there. Here is one from

One private equity firm owns more chains than you can count: Dunkin’, Sonic, The Cheesecake Factory, Wingstop, Arby’s, and more — Roark Capital. They’re notorious wage thieves. They’ve made billions exploiting 1.4 million workers and killing the $15 minimum wage. We’re exposing their tactics.
Who owns the workers8? Who is responsible for the way they are treated? And more than anything else, who owns Roark? The team itself looks like a class of Schwab graduates from all over the world (but not the presence of Russia, Europe, China, and the US):

By now, you must know that the Beatles were wrong: money CAN buy love9, and it can buy a lot more, but above all, it excels at owning people and destroying their lives.
What will happen to all that money, when only a monthly allotment will be issued to everyone, based on good behavior, and it will expire at the end of the month? The enablers and the enforcers might want to ruminate over that.
CBDCs are in an “experimental” stage, but the plan has been clear for over a year, and there isn’t much mortals can do much about it:

A few inconsequential countries are held up by the controlled opposition to show that the WHO agreement doesn’t have to be accepted, but it’s always been clear that this is only for a show. Can you imagine that the plandemic circus is over without the programmed results?

Official sources vehemently deny the increasing levels of cooperation between banks and between banks and the government, but it’s enough to remember what happened to the bank accounts of those who sent money to the truckers’ convoy: bank accounts were frozen and the donated money was stolen.

The publicity for consuming insects was out there already in 2022:

Cereals are invariably affected, but flour is also “fortified” in the US with “iron” (industrial waste) and who-knows-what-else. To make it worse, American wheat is European wheat that was crossed with prairie grass in the 1930s, and it’s not fully digestible. In 2022, two thirds of “edible” insects were found to have parasites and chitin is not for human consumption, anyway; it causes inflammation and autoimmune responses:
In the US, everybody and everything is owned by the private bank, the Federal Reserve as a collateral for government debt issued to the government as a loan to the taxpayer at an interest. While the citizen is a state asset, the state is owned by the international banking cartel: https://rayhorvaththesource.substack.com/p/government-property-in-action
According to official figures, people making $75k or more in a year are “happy” or, shall I say, content? It’s reasonable to assume that their human relationships are also in good order.
wOW! That is a great and comprehensive exposure of our food!
But, this is not an easy problem to address: People (specially in the West) have Neutered themselves emotionally and academically. The "path of least resistance" is the default for every situation. This has opened opportunities for exploitation, and "The Exploiters" are ever eager to oblige. That is our system....?
Thank you for mentioning all those franchises. 99% of them I do not use. However, I used to spoil myself to a fish fry at Culvers. I won't be going there anymore. My money is happily spent supporting local merchants, especially ranchers and farmers. The smaller ones who grow more organically. What's next, Ray? Large insect farms? People better wake up, but many of us have been pounding the drums for a while now. Thus the continual influx of Illegal Invaders. They Do Not Care! Small Town America is quite in tune with whats going on. God Bless us all!
