Feel free to elaborate on how state government manipulates prices for agricultural products.
So you assume that the only products consumers buy is food, specifically produce?
That's news to me.
Guess you might as well learn to make clothes, stop heating your home, stop going to McDonald's, stick with the same car for 40 years, etc....
No, wrong again. I was responding directly to your response to a previous post. Did you neglect to read that post? Did you happen to notice that you were responding to a post about food prices?
Excuse me, but I lived in California. Everything considered a staple food item is not taxed with a sales tax. And any produce is simply brought over the border from Mexico because of the lower overhead and close proximity.
Btw, only if you operate in a complete vacuum does this all work. If the price of everything else goes up you won't be able to afford food, much less medicine, water, electricity, and so-on. Everyone will be too broke to buy much of anything, which is California in a nutshell.
