“Tesco and Aldi limit sales of tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers”
As someone else here noted this week: Why don’t they simply RAISE THEIR PRICES?
Then I responded that pricing responses to supply and demand only happen in Capitalist countries, like Russia, and to some extent, China.
In the end, it won’t matter, they’ll just start a cottage industry of ‘line sitters’, much as we had during the gas lines of the 1970s. In other words, no matter how much the UK tries to hide from capitalism, the RICH will get what they want, and there ain’t jack they can do about it.
Prices are raised.
Yeah, isn’t it great that we spilled the blood and treasure of over 1 million Americans to create a socialist utopia in Europe?
Socialists are so dumb. If they just raised the price of the tomatoes, then more people would be incentivized to grow tomatoes for sale. Imagine the numbers of farmers that would start growing tomatoes at 5 dollars a tomato, for example.
