So what are people supposed to do if they can’t afford food? Starve? This is getting ridiculous. All the big grocery corps need to be broken up to create more competition

We need subsidized grocers. Theres no reason the government cant run grocery stores that keeps things as close to cost as possible.

That's a slippery slope there. I mean, what's next, nationalizing our energy production to make gas and utilities affordable?

Look, the important part is that we hit the 2% NATO spending target. Some people at home are just going to have to starve so that we can keep bombing brown people around the world.
