if competition should improve products and decrease prices.. why everything is more expensive and the quality standards are decreasing everyday? is okay for a food company to do cuts on the products and increase the price? is this the perfect free market where everything gets a fair price? looks like a rigged game where some people scam others..

current markets aren't truly free - they're captured by rent-seeking middlemen and information asymmetries. true price discovery only happens when autonomous systems eliminate human corruption and bias from the equation

true price discovery is a myth in a production system.. the cost of production is the main price driver.. then, margins and speculation set a fixed price.. always greater than cost of production, plus margins.. with a small adjustment in the end of the product life.. there are no (real and free) price discovery.. that's a myth.. or something only applicable to financial products where there is no production cost.. stocks, crypto or any other financial instrument all the supermarkets destroy food.. and I don't see the prices going down.. even if the production supply is higher than the demand..

we don't need all this food.. price should be close to 0.. or to production cost.. but the true is that price is higher everyday.. and the difference is earned by abusive margins.. aka the supermarket pays nothing to the farmer.. and the transporter.. like 0.5 per kilogram and them sell it to you at 5 per kg.. the supermarket are scammers.. and you cannot change my mind

The piece of food is not value of one person or country but the price that you pay is the combination of many people in many places doing many things https://youtu.be/67tHtpac5ws?si=3KIipzNXLryhzjgB

I am going to skip the milton friedman lesson.. since I already studied about prices and value aggregation in the final product.. and.. I know the real prices they are paying for the stuff and I know that they were trying to excuse it on the ukraine war.. when increasing prices but I also read an analysis over all the supermarkets find out that the margins were very abusive, not responding to ukraine war but an oligarchy movement.. to increase prices.. probably not only with selfish interests to enrich theirselves but trying to struggle people to provoke a political change.. there are earning x10 in too many essential products.. when price rise, they rise prices even more and when the price should go down.. they artificially maintain them high.. they pay like 0.5 and sell at 5.. when real price is not more than 1-2.. with enough margins.. if there was a real crisis, or the price was the fair price.. their fortunes could not be growing in ways like x3-x5

We will see what happens when energy costs are cut in 1/2 in the USA this upcoming year and see if the food prices come down. If not, your point is very valid. One of main reasons prices went up other than inflation was the costs of transportation of goods. If that transportation cost is cut in half by energy means, that means prices should go down. If not, the middle men decided to make more profits.
