I’m reading a neoliberal economics book right now (know thine enemy) and literally in the very first chapter the author says “high prices for food in emergencies means the starving can have access to food because they incentivise businesses to deliver food faster”. Pretty shocked at how mask off they are.

Which then causes prices to go back down, right? anakin-padme-2
