Make food and products unaffordable again!

Unaffordable again? Have you looked at how much a cart-full of groceries cost 10 years ago vs today?

How is eliminating economies of scale going to make things cheaper? It's not. It 'may' put more money into local economies, but by making everyone in the area pay more to local businesses. I've compared food prices at Costco to conventional grocery store prices and Costco is often half or 1/3 the price. If anything, conventional grocery stores should be eliminated. I haven't been to one in many years, but I did just spend about $40 at my local farmers market yesterday.
