@GabrielDuquette You don't think there is any room to control the food prices until a solution is found?

@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. -
@david_kenneth_d@GabrielDuquette Not a problem in the economics. That's a problem in the reality. In your example ppl are dead already. -
@St_Rev@GabrielDuquette Is there really no solution of simply not quadrupling the prices for just a week until a orange tree is found? -
@david_kenneth_d@GabrielDuquette Letting prices rise increases probability of finding an orange tree. Suppressing them means more deaths. - 1 more reply
