We're already straining the resource capacity of the globe, and Americans are an enormous consumer endpoint relative to population size.

Simply issuing more cash won't create more end products. And when a handful of cartelized retailers control the flow of trade?

Prices are already artificially inflated to accommodate marketing costs and profit. Why retailers continue to raise prices to catch that additional free cash?

    There is enough food produced globally to feed everyone alive and still have some left over.

    The problem is a large portion of it goes bad in the grocery store because no one buys it and it ends up in a landfill.

    More broadly speaking, it's poorly stored and distributed. But yes, we do a miserable job of keeping people fed.
