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.

we don't need to do that, this can be calculated.. with easy math.. once you know the prices of everything.. we already know price of buy from the farm, price of combustible to transport and we know how much the prices of them raised due to the war.. and once you try to correlate them with the market prices... prices are higher all the time.. and when the spike of transports costs decreased.. the supermarket prices were even higher.. completely against the real market prices.. (it was not in the US.. but the reports are there and explains what it is.. richs struggling the people to get more money and duplicate and triplicate their fortunes while they sell us a fake crisis..)

I must be really gay and retarded to understand simple math. I didn’t notice the energy costs decreasing even the slightest in the USA in the last 4 years. I don’t know the price of buy straight from the farm. Isn’t market price dependent on region? I was just concentrating on your statement about the middleman taking their cut so that’s why prices are so high for food.

nah, this have nothing to do with your sexual orientation nor you capabilities.. it is more that you are lazy or the other thing.. 1. farm prices are public domain, just do some research for the desired region.. like we did for the country in question 2. supermarket prices are public domain too 3. combustible prices are public domain too 4. calculate and plot in a chart 5. observe the differences (can ask an LLM for how to do that.. but I am sure that real independent media of your country already did it for you..) ofc, easy math but it is not 1+1, some research is required too and, I am not talking about the cost of energy in the US, you introduced it.. just to say something about nuclear energy.. that said, this is going to be an error.. but this is not my problem.. fukushima and chernobyl were enough for the rest of world.. gl if this does not explode in your hands.. hopefully we are far away to be fcked by the radiation..

If you have already done this and are so confident in your answers, please share that graph. It’s pretty simple without going through all that. Gas prices go up 50%+, prices go up at my local supermarket. Middle man and distributors mark up their prices. Gas prices cut 50% by drill baby drill. Food prices should go down. If they don’t, then the middleman and distributors are taking more profits at the expense of the general public. Also, those ancient nuclear power plants you speak of are nothing like the new generation of nuclear power plants. Keep using those scare tactics. Also making conclusions about something and working backwards to net pick specific things to support your conclusion is deceiving. I might suck at basic math but logic is again undervalued and what I put out is reasoning based off logic.

spanish, just translate or check the images, they are enough this is an organization funded by gov to study market and protect consumers a simple search on "abusivos precios supermercados margenes" or "abusive prices supermaket margins" will give enough results on this topic, meaning, this is something we have under discussion and even created a new tax against it in energy sector, not on supermarket yet there is a news published yesterday on this topic too.. we are still where we was one or 2 years ago.. (they keep earning and people paying) https://facua.org/noticias/los-alimentos-se-encarecen-hasta-un-875-del-campo-al-supermercado/

Whenever there is a study or research done… it is always important on who funds the research. The research saying this big pharma drug is the best… funded by big pharma is the truth. 95% of these studies never disagree. In this case, the nonprofit group funded by the government says they did the research… the private market is the problem and not the government and their policies. 🤔😂😜 Would be interested if they ever pointed to the government as being the problem? 🤷‍♂️

this is going to be easy.. you have fallen in the hook 😅 1. they get funds from gov like almost every private company.. yeah, the public sector keeps funding the private sector.. year after year.. with millions from taxes.. the gov is funding the top haters.. 2. this is not the fault of the gov (at least not in a direct way) because the gov already decreased the taxes over food.. but guess what.. tthe supermarket increased their prices even higher than the price + taxes when there was no taxes. (our private sector is not the american one.. ours is a bit dumb.. lazy and they don't know what they are doing, we caught them, every single step.. they are like more like a comedy but they have the money and the power, so nothing happens.. ) and, yeah, the value of the info depends on the trust on the source.. (I think the cia got a similar motto, or I may hear it on a movie)
