The government having NO RIGHT to interfere in trade is a GREAT policy response to high food prices. To follow @thoughtcrimeboss’s libertarian values, government should: Stop editorializing the 14th amendment as a creationist myth enabling corporate personhood Stop authorizing monarchy to end labor strikes by mission-critical workers Stop restricting free speech by banning sympathy strikes by dispute-adjacent unions Stop wasting public welfare money on EBT cards and other consumer subsidies to feed the poor instead of distributing MREs at 1/10th the caloric cost Stop subsidizing corn so absurdly that North America is the only place where corn syrup is cheaper than sugar Stop allowing public research grants to primarily fund genetic plant engineering that gets pivoted into private agribusiness seed patents in the final development stages When this dream of government that does not “interfere in trade” comes true, Adam Smith’s “magic hand” will correct inflated food prices just fine.

There are so many examples of this it's crazy. The large meat companies colluding to raise prices. The private health care and insurance industry using any and every benefit available to them. Telecoms successfully crowding out any of their competition - I remember when they used local laws to prevent google from setting up a low cost fiber network in the bay area. Big business LOVES government intervention when it suits them. 420 $degen
