French supermarket chain is using 'shrinkflation' stickers to pressure PepsiCo and other suppliers | CNN Business

French supermarket chain Carrefour has slapped price warnings on products ranging from Lindt chocolates to Lipton Ice Tea to pressure suppliers such as Nestlé, PepsiCo and Unilever to cut their prices.

The difference between European countries and America is becoming so stark. Anyone reading or watching global news has to see how backwards this country is and that it’s only getting worse.

    Because, in case you didn’t realise, we don’t think that waging wars, hoarding nukes and “exporting freedom and democracy” is a good international policy nor a wise use of tax payers’ money.

    But what do I know, right? I just have low crime rates, an affordable university system and don’t have to sell my kidney for a ride in an ambulance. All the while having 1 month paid vacation and a minimum salary that allows me to not live in the streets.

    Sorry, I’m out of line.

      It’s absolutely wild that an ethnicity homogeneous country has a much more stable time than one like the us with vary sizable minorities (I am not blaming minorities however nations like Japan, France, Germany, ect all have very significant percentage of a single group and are more stable, in my experience of reading through history you should try to homogenize your country, gets a bit war crimey)

      I know this is going to sound weird but you can get government healthcare if you are unable to get it in another way, it’s called Medicaid.

      Insane that dispite college being expensive the US has one of the highest rates of college graduation.

      As for crime. Scientific studies have linked more crime to higher temperatures. And guess what the US is often significantly warmer than Europe.

      Crazy what happens when you stop parroting talking points and look into it. Oh don’t worry when I am old enough I will be running on a campaign for solutions to these, but America is not Europe, those solution you had need change to work here
