The gov of El Salvador is rolling out public produce markets where prices are very cheap for produce compared to the grocery stores.

Apparently the grocery store magnate was running for president at the same time as the current president so they aren't friends.

If I understand correctly, there isn't a welfare system in the country. so the idea seems to be to subsidize produce.

It only runs certain times/days until supplies run out so it's not convenient.

My preference is that the government take no part in the food supply except for purposes of emergency stockpiles or as a free market participant.

Makes sense.

I would be tempted to make public transportation free and subsidize basic produce. But I'm sure those aren't good ideas.

However there are so many subsidies for 1. People with cars 2. People with money.

Because services are catered to them. The highway was built for them, etc.

I might just be a communist In some aspects. Because what we have by default is a communism of the road/land-use space already that is enforced by outdated land -use manuals that are only good for propagating Vegas style strip malls across the country.

Nothing valued needs subsidized.

I like that . It's an easy logical rule I can apply.
