Isn't this a great idea? Follow me below the fold and I'll tell you why.
If we all agree to jack up food prices to three times what we're paying now, we can start a whole new middleman industry, which will pay and employ thousands of people!
Sure it won't serve any real purpose other than to suck up the extra money, but just think of the benefits! After all, people HAVE to buy food because otherwise they'll die--so they'll have no choice but to pay too much!
And here's another idea! We can eliminate pricing at grocery stores altogether! We can make people buy what they need but not tell them how much it will cost until they get to the checkout stand! That way we're free to pricefix at will with no silly "free market" interference!
I think this is a great idea. What do you think?
