New York Prisons Ban Care Packages Containing Food
by Mansa Musa, July 4, 2022
The prison-industrial complex has many ways of turningthe incarceration of human beings into a profitable business model. In New York state, new regulations targeting care packages for prisoners show this logic at work. Friends and families of incarcerated people can no longer send packages containing food to those inside, and are now limited to sending two "non-food packages" a year, purchased from pre-approved, third-party vendors. In this episode of Rattling the Bars, Mansa Musa interviews writer Molly Hagan about this draconian new policy and her recent report for The Appeal,"New York’s Prison Package Ban Places New Burdens on the Incarcerated."
Molly Hagan is a writer based in New York City, who has taught creative writing at the Women’s Prison Association.
Food inflation desperation leads to VIOLENT ATTACKS in grocery stores
By Mike Adams, June 30, 2022
As food inflation worsens, a sense of desperation is seizing the minds of the American people, and some of them are lashing out in acts of violence against workers at grocery stores and other food retail locations. America is now seeing a shocking rise in retail location violence that seems destined to only get worse.
Joe Biden’s catastrophic economic and energy policies have led to a 400% increase in the price of fertilizer, a 100% increase in the price of diesel fuel, supply chain disruptions and food production shortfalls. Even infant formula has been in a supply chain crisis, and the cost of agricultural inputs today means far higher prices in the coming months.
The result is record high food inflation that keeps getting worse. Higher costs of food gobble up higher percentages of discretionary incomes for consumers, hitting low-income consumers especially hard. When food prices rise to the point of requiring 50% of a person’s income just to eat, history tells us that societies break down and lurch into uprisings and revolts.
Now, even the New York Times (via Yahoo News) is covering the trend, reporting that violence against grocery and retail workers is exploding:
In her 37 years in the grocery industry, said Kim Cordova, a union president in Colorado, she had never experienced the level of violence that her members face today.
Inflation drives up prices for food at grocery stores, economics experts weigh in
By Desiree Montilla, May. 10, 2022
As inflation reaches a new 40-year high in the United States, shoppers are seeing the impacts of this on their wallets as prices for gas, groceries and household goods go up.
Families across the country... say they’re spending more at the supermarket with the climbing costs.
This comes as inflation skyrockets by 8.5 percent. According to the USDA’s Consumer Price Index, food prices were nearly 9 percent higher than in March 2021.
The USDA also predicts food prices at grocery stores and supermarkets will increase between 5 and 6 percent.
Meat, poultry and fish are some of the food items climbing in cost, which is leaving shoppers like Curtis Smith stretching his meals.
Christopher Herrington, an economics professor with Virginia Commonwealth University, said there are several factors leading to these high costs, which include rising energy costs and high demand.
"Some of it is also rising costs from the producer side," Herrington said. "They’re seeing higher costs on their side and passing some of that along to consumers. Some of it continues to be supply chain disruptions and just not being able to get all the raw ingredients."
Tom Arnold, a professor of finance at the University of Richmond, said the state of the job market is also a factor in this.
"There’s a ton of job openings, but not a ton of people taking the jobs, so now it’s going to cost more to hire people," he said.
As the Federal Reserve looks to curb inflation by increasing interest rates, Herrington says relief is going to take time.
