- tnorthcutt 14y agoI think I understand the gist of what you're saying, but I'm not certain. Could you elaborate?
- WiseWeasel 14y agoI mean that the political establishment has a strong incentive to keep food prices relatively stable for the sake of keeping their jobs, hence why the issue would be of high priority.
- tnorthcutt 14y agoIn that case, we should modify the system such that the political establishment doesn't control the price of food, and let the market work, since the short term incentives of those in control clearly are not aligned with the collective long term problem.
