    Unfortunately this comes about from a depression which is when most folks have zero of close enough to it to be zero. then suddenly bread goes for a few cents because most people cannot get enough cents together to buy bread and those with money don’t need anymore bread they have plenty.

      It comes from price ceilings. When there’s no capitalist making money for doing nothing, and their buddies in overplayed management positions making money doing almost nothing, you can produce sugar real cheap.
