People need to get over the idea that a free market is the solution to everything?
- AnimalMuppet 7y agoFor food distribution, historically, a free market beats central planning, hands down.
- lurquer 7y agoThat's not true. In central planned economies, the members of the Party eat very well. /sarc
- SomeOldThrow 7y agoNot at all; free market fails to feed people daily. Even in the heartland of captialism we had plenty of bread lines during the great depression. To be clear I’m not advocating centralized planning, or any specific planning method. I’m simply pointing out the free market has specifically failed at food distribution. Or at least, you're going to need to contort the definition of success to get the free market to meet it.
