We have farmers’ markets here too, but if the problem with a supermarket is prices being too high then a trip to the farmers’ market is the opposite of a solution. Never mind, of course, that a farmers’ market would get cleaned out of everything on sale in a matter of minutes if everyone replaced their supermarket shopping with it.
I would like to know why you think that a supermarket that applies dynamic pricing in a physical shop would not also do the same online
I live in the countryside with fields directly backing onto my house and I still have no way of buying food directly from farmers, the absolute closest you can get is someone with an apple tree leaving apples in a box on their driveway when they have too many to use. Farmers markets are for posh twats.
The government has to get involved right? For something like food, you can’t set up a system that walks right up against price gouging.
Why? Just don’t buy it. When do you have absolutely nothing to eat?
Worst case scenario you can always buy directly from farmers.
That’s why I might say about Wendy’s, but not the grocery store.

You need electricity? Just buy your own generator.
Need water? Just dig a well…
Need oxygen? Well…
They’ve definitely never heard of food deserts.
Are you fucking insane?
Well usually I have nothing to eat when I haven’t bought any fucking food
Where I live we have farmers’ markets, the supermarket is not the only option
Not to mention you can just order food online directly from an online shopping site

Most people would just take the price hike, and if the demand for farmers markets is higher more farmers would come out
When there’s money to be made, there is surely people who want the opportunity

In Hilo, Hawaii it’s just Filipinos selling fruits, the opposite of posh
Rich flex, but no thanks
Did you read this comment before you posted it? Or did you forget that today isn’t Out of Touch Thursday?
Are you joking?
Why should we lower our standards so people richer than us can be even richer? Not everyone is a useful idiot like you.
I am not driving multiple hours to save 50 cents on a bag of onions. The only local farms where I live are hobby farms.
The government is owned by these corporations, so no.
It’s up to the people to fight back organically and locally. We cannot rely on the system because it is set up for us to fail.
