The real cause of price inflation in food is not the supposed price gouging by corporate players in the ag and food industry... but rather is the result of the inflation associated with government spending and stimulus coming out of COVID.

There is nowhere in the ag or food supply chain that we are seeing, fundamentally, price gouging or profit-taking happening. What has happened is the cost of labor, the cost of moving stuff around, the cost of fuel, the cost of electricity, the cost of goods has all risen with inflation because of the increase in the money supply and federal spending and the stimulus associated with the Federal Reserve buying assets onto their balance sheet.

I unequivocally hate socialism. Socialism destroys innovation, destroys productivity, and destroys individual liberties.

The free market works in that everyone is always competing with each other, creating new productivity improvements, and as a result, over time, prices come down—except when the government intervenes and gets involved.

We've tried price controls before; it didn't work. And it is remarkable that [Kamala Harris] would be proposing here, potentially, as her first major policy proposal on the economy to go back to this 1970s era failed policy.

When the government steps in and says, here's how much margin you can make or here's how much prices should be, it ruins everything, and the entire incentive structure goes away and you end up with bread lines.
