When the working masses finally wake up to ALL scams against them, we will look like France.

I was saddened and also scared after my trip to the grocery store. In a little over two weeks some food manufactures are scamming consumers in the most subtle ways and most of the Consumers don't notice...at least they don't notice right away.

Take a close look at those juices and other drinks you buy for the family. I bet you didn't notice that your favorite Natural Florida grapefruit juice, orange juice went from 64 oz cartons to 52 or 59 oz? Even my favorite Paul Neuman lemonade went from 64 to 59 oz. They probably will down to 52 oz in a few weeks. The cantonal all look the same and since most shoppers are weekly shoppers and don't visit supermarkets every day many will not notice these changes. There are few if any real 1/2 gallon products and few 16 oz products around. They maintain there legacy appearance and if you are a stickler for favorite brands you will probably never notice the changes. Today I noticed these four items that had downsized without any kind of acknowledgement. I know this has been going on for years but it is becoming rather than an elite exception. People who are too rich to even care about shopping won't be affected or outraged about any of this. if you are a working father and mother and witness that your groceries aren't going as far as they used to and yet you are paying higher prices you should know why.

People are suffering micro ways that will soon mount up to rage. There ought to be some kind of consumer protection against these sadistic food-skimming. This is the kind of issue a concerned politician ought to champion for the working middle class.

2. They All Downsized Their Orange Juice At The Same Time

But there is NO COLLUSION.

I say charge some folks.

3. The only way

We look like what is going on in France is if trump stays in office. What is going on in France could very well be Russia, again, trying to stir things up, kind of like a lot of posters who have shown up here recently that may also be part of the Russian plan! Remember Russia gave us trump and their trolls are everywhere!

4. Yes, but we also have MIRT.

[Andy823]

5. As a single person, I like smaller containers, except oatmeal, which I eat a lot of.

But juice, smaller is better for me.

But if I had a wife and two kids, the larger containers would be more practical.

Did you notice the prices, did they stay the same when the container size became smaller?

10. The prices on three out of four stayed the same. The other item actually went up in price At least

at the store I visited.

12. Wow. Less for more. What a concept for pirates. nt

6. No, we will not.

Totally different cultures. Even in the Great Depression Americans remained orderly.

Even if we did not, the difference in their centralized Republic and our federalist system insulates us from a government falling due to mass protest.

You will never even see a General strike here like is common in France, even when there is no crisis.

[pdxflyboy]

7. Blue_true...The answer is YES.

The prices stay the same when they downsize the containers.

8. no, that's not going to happen

11. Unfortunately most of the working masses in this country

get their news from Fox, hate radio and their MAGA republican church and vote GOP.

It wasn’t the working class that just delivered the biggest midterm win for Dems in years.

13. The US "working masses" don't think of themselves in those terms, or haven't you noticed?

The US is not France.

Also, what you term a "scam" is an exceedingly old marketing ploy that I remember from when my cans of coffee stayed the same size and price, but the weight label went from 16 ounces to 13 ounces.

Try again.
