But when every step thinks they can use inflation as an excuse to add an extra bit of profit it adds up by the time it gets to you or me. And the big grocery stores often own several of the steps on their own.
So break the monopolies up and make them compete, that's how capitalism is supposed to work.
Government should definitely be operating in some business areas, food isn't one of them. They should regulate it, but it's a relatively fluid market that allows people to shift easily between providers by simply looking up prices before shopping.
That's a great idea and I'd agree that it's a better and realistic option compared to a government run store.
