“when government is at liberty to prevent natural market forces from getting food to where it’s most in demand.”
The govt control thing is what disturbs me. I can’t address other issues because the things of which you speak are beyond the scope of my experience. However, penalizing people who want to give away their produce (happened in GA) is beyond the pale. I just hope we can straighten out these issues in November.
Sometimes the government’s control is openly oppressive, and sometimes it’s intended to do good, as with price controls or penalties for “profiteering.” However, regardless of motive, people are much more likely to starve when the price system is not allowed to operate freely.
I hope, before I die, to see a President who has read Thomas Sowell.
