Mostly I shop at Trader Joes, which does not have a single one of those brands. They hardly have any brands at all aside from their own.

Too funny, had to post:

Trader Joe's is where I shop about once a week. Their groceries offer an excellent value; they carry a lot of items that are healthy. I would encourage anyone to give Trader Joe's and Aldi a try. I believe the origin of these business is Germany.

Trader Joe's in Santa Cruz is the best place to plink status groupie yuppie bitches and hippie trust fund kids.

They have a huge, pretentious wine swilling section.

The Trader Joe's brands seem to be low grade artificial ingredient products. So-so produce as well. Walmart Neighborhood Market has better store brands and much better produce. Also, cliental at Trader Joe's are elite yuppies that ooze lefty politics. Despite the implied environmentalism, on the few times I have gone there, I am the only one on a bike.

There's nothing artificial in TJs products, whomever told you that is grossly misinformed. The produce and fruits are a bit on the older side for sure and perish faster. It's good value and a good compromise, leftoids or not.

I may be wrong about that, as I am basing that off of one time I went there looking for eggnog and found it contained artificial flavor.

You are soooo going to Hell when you die!

Why do hospital administrators choose profit over health from sick patients? If profit is the motive, wouldn't a stream of sick patients lead to continued profits? How does one trust a business like this, that is nickel and diming sick people? People say that we should all be ashamed of this but its the regulatory bodies and the hospital administrators that should be ashamed of this because they make or facilitate these choices in the name of commerce.

Apart from the obvious sponsorship er bribing and grifting (hospital probably pays close to 0 for this) the last thing people care about is the food, they just want to get the fuck outta there. You shouldn't rely on the hospital good to make you healthy. Same for schools

Yes and No. Insurance companies cover what/who/when payment is made. Its the insurance companies who are in the driver's seat/hold the money. Hospitals/doctors provide a service. Hospitals/doctors don't have as much power as people think. The elephant in the room is the insurance company because they control money

If Taiwan were to be literally destroyed tomorrow, it would advantage both American business and the American worker, because they are no longer making use of slave labor there anyhow, and Americans can replace them doing the work.

Globalization is a war against the middle and blue collar working class.

Yeah but the Chinese would be taking over the slave labor and it would continue under Chinese branding

Sure, provided our government allowed importation from them.

Our government is chiefly interested in creating conflict. They're doing it here with "transgendered ideology". They're fucking maniacs. They never allow us to rest and be left alone. Constantly they want to create some conflict, something for us to fucking worry about, something we need to fight. They do this everywhere.

They're maniacs.

It’s not a direct comparison but I felt Costco is a good price wise alternative.

Is it really true that food companies deliberately set out to manipulate research in their favor? Yes, it is, and the practice continues. - Marion Nestle, Food Industry Funding of Nutrition Research: The Relevance of History for Current Debates. JAMA Internal Medicine. 2016; 176(11):1685-6.

Watch nothing magically happen for the billionth time!

I haven't seen the government hold criminality accountable ever. They reward it.

It does look like Congress is setting up Garland the DOJ for negligence of foreign interference and issues of national security. Military next? One would hopium.

You've been posting this hopium bullshit for 2 years. It's not going to happen, but you continue to post it. You won't even do minimal research to see what you're reposting is remotely true, or even possibly true but you'll continue posting it anyhow. You won't source it, you won't post links, you won't check. You just post diarrhea shit from Benjamin Fullford and any rumor and you completely ignore that it's consistently false.

I agree. Foxes don't kill other foxes, they kill the chickens. Its the nature of the foxes, they will make a deal amongst themselves and bury it.

While this is considered outrageous and it is, this is standard operating procedure, in my life experience and opinion. This may be considered unconstitutional or unamerican but this is mainstream, unfortunately. Google, Facebook and Twitter (its better under Elon) block/shadow ban accounts based on algorithms even today. There is a simple logic behind this and its very American.

No, Democrats were always part Neocons. They just fooled the people.

What were the capitation reimbursements for the doctors pushing the vax on their patients, and then gaslighting the complications? The Satanists avoid the bad karma by deferring the bribed and corrupted actions to their useful idiots and browbeaten puppets.

Rockefeller medicine went full force to align the entire medical apparatus, from the tainted 'fake science', so-called peer review journals, captured and corrupted government agencies, grant drunk medical schools and hospitals, down through the mainline providers, with the Covid fraud and the vaccine democide.

Unfortunately for the doctors and institutions, the providers also created an easy path of identification for participation because the monies they received can be easily traced. If the liability insurances go bankrupt, there may be a wave in the future of retired and active doctors bankrupted and working in gas stations. If I were a doctor, I would start creating a string of shell corporations now to litigation proof my assets if any drop of money had been earned through Globalist Satanist activity, otherwise they are just going to be glorious sacrifices to Moloch. Even doctors who might not have participated or received monies can be named and suffer the consequences of lawfare.

Yes. The establishment of both parties are entirely controlled by Neocons. The Neocons BEGAN as literal marxists. The only "switched sides" under George H. Bush and kept that up until Trump won because people were so sick of their bullshit.

They have never really left the democratic party, although they were a minority in it. They are the actual "war party".
