Before the bread price fixing scandal broke, if anyone had asked Galen if they were manipulating the price of bread, he would have shown this same level of deflection and never admitted in a million years what they were doing. If we asked now if there were any other price fixing scandals waiting to be discovered, they'd deny and deflect regardless of the truth.
Now he just wants us to trust him, and take him at his word? This billionaire has given everyone zero reasons to trust him, and many reasons to do the opposite.
It's also psychotic when you think about it .... his family is already worth $8 billion ... but they all have a perpetual need to make even more profits regardless if it means starving people have to pay more for the food they sell.
If I had $1,000 and a box of food and someone with little money came up to me wanting to buy some of my food for $1 and I instead told them it was $2 just because I could .... everyone would look at me like a stingy heartless prick.
A billionaire does it with millions of people every day and it's just called business.
My example is an imaginary hypothetical .... Loblaws and the Weston family do it in real life ... and somehow that is more acceptable than some imaginary story I could come up with.
And to rub it it poors faces they toss out half the food because at the high prices it did not get sold in time
They should get fined for any food thrown away.
I'm visiting France right now and found out that they passed a law forcing grocers to discount or give away expiring or old food. Was great to see
