"In this interview there is a very apropos example of the twisted disconnect evident in the multinational corporate
media perspective . Please watch the part that
begins around 04:55 and
listen closely to Cavuto:
…”and we’re really seeing the effect on the folks who have to pay the bills for this sort of thing … we’re already seeing soybean prices coming down; we’re seeing pork related prices coming down … folks are taking it on the chin, what are you telling them?”… etc. VIDEO https://youtu.be/kCwrSVgtpy8 There it is. Did you catch it?
In discussing
futures Cavuto sounds the alarm for “Soybean prices coming down.” “Pork prices coming down”; and “the folks “
taking it on the chin .”
Now, think. What Neil Cavuto is saying is that U.S. food
futures prices are forecast to come down. In that scenario who exactly is
taking it on the chin ?
Who is it that Neil Cavuto sees losing out in his position? It’s not the family going to the grocery store… they will see lower prices… so who are these “folks” losing out?
There it is.
Right there.
It’s easy to miss the gaslighting because it is so commonplace. Cavuto doesn’t even see himself doing it.
This is the twisted and controlled market being discussed.
Neil Cavuto is not calling for ‘free markets’, he is advocating for ‘controlled markets’, and his anxiety is because the “folks” he references as “losers” are the Multinational Corporations and Big-AG who control the Pork and Soybean market.
Cavuto’s ‘consumers’, those he is advocating for, are Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), Monsanto, Cargill, Unilever, Nestle’ and ConAgra. Those are the names of Cavuto’s
folks that he sees as “
taking it on the chin .” He is NOT, repeat
NOT , talking about people who shop at supermarkets and grocery stores, ie. the middle-class.
I cannot emphasize this enough… once you know how to spot this economic disconnect in the arguments by advocates for multinational corporations you can never go back to a time when you don’t see it.
This is the most important economic lesson that most Americans simply do not comprehend. We are in an abusive relationship, and most U.S. consumers don’t even know about it.
If the U.S. were to exit NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement), the price you pay for most foodstuff at the grocery store would drop 10% in the first quarter and likely drop 20% or more by the end of the first year. Here’s why.."
