@St_Rev@GabrielDuquette What if you simply asked the apple merchants to not spike the prices so much? This doesn't have to be coercive. -
@St_Rev@GabrielDuquette Say I was king, that would be my first stab at the problem. I would be trying to prevent food riots/war. -
@david_kenneth_d@GabrielDuquette Good intentions led to the Holodomor. -
@St_Rev@GabrielDuquette How would you prevent riots and/or citizens just curbstomping the food producers then in a desperate chimp fury? -
@david_kenneth_d@GabrielDuquette If things are that bad, probably start shooting people. And yes I say this as an anarchist. -
@St_Rev@GabrielDuquette eeeeeeee. I wish the merchants would just sell at 50 for a bit! I suppose Gabriel is right tho never this simple. -
@david_kenneth_d@GabrielDuquette Notice that effect of letting prices rise to natural level is it incentivizes the hell out of alternatives -
@St_Rev@GabrielDuquette Definitely. My only rub really is the initial problem of people starving to death. - 4 more replies
