economic scarcity

Yeah like when they make sure food gets thrown away instead of being given to hungry poor people. That would devalue the food after all, can't have that, so starve you fucking poories.

Yeah, lets keep this inhuman shitshow going.

All of the food from grocery stores that isn't sold is donated to charity. The store gets a tax break and the homeless get a meal. It isn't quite enough as we still rely on donations but its helpful.
