  No, the existing “base line” price will stay as is for the poors. Those with slightly more money however…those will pay more.

    Yep, that’s what an MBA would decide, so that’s likely what’s going to happen.

    That’s why I said in my second line:

    It won’t be done properly. It never is when left to the corporations.

    But yet you STILL opened your reply with a flat ‘no’, proving you only ever bothered to read a single sentence of my reply so I’m downvoting you, blocking you, and forgetting you ever existed.

    I guess food stamps kind of do this but they are so hard to actually be granted. We need something automatic that is specifically geared to solving food insecurity for the most needy.
