That seems so criminal I have a hard time believing it's actually true.
Progressives hating those with wealth out of some supposed concern for the poor never makes sense to me. If poor people are no longer poor, and are able to start a business that ends up being successful, they are now an evil rich person. Exactly how much money do you have to make to transition from noble poor to evil rich guy? There's no consistency to who or what they claim to oppose. Elon Musk is doing more for humanity than an entire generation combined and all Elizabeth Warren can do is bitch about how much money he has. Like maybe if anyone earned it, he did? It's just pure envy and jealousy masquerading as concern for the poor.

Ya my cousin who used to work at a Village Inn told me they were instructed to pour paint over the food before they threw it out to discourage dumpster diving
And my favorite part of my job when I used to work at Sports Authority as an 18 year old was when I was instructed to throw out old models of various things we could no longer sell (didn’t even have a SKU# in the computer anymore). My manager would tell me “be sure to break it all first”. So I would be getting paid to tomahawk throw equipment into the back wall outside as hard as I could. It was then that I learned how high you need to heave a bowling ball in the air to get it to break, and what they look like on the inside (kind of like concrete if I remember right)
Nowadays I think a lot of restaurants and grocers have deals with food banks to donate old food. But not sure, havent talked to anyone in the food biz about it for a while
And yeah, personal wealth is a problem only when it’s not the champagne socialists like Hasan Piker, who came under some heat for buying a multi-million dollar home in LA despite being a socialist. He said that’s just what homes in LA cost. He doesn’t have to live in LA, and he doesn’t have to live way beyond a comfortable living, he chooses to just like all the greedy capitalists he hates. Maybe he does donate to the less fortunate but I highly doubt it
