Building real solutions to inflation? That's the hard part when governments keep abandoning free markets and open trade. What we often see instead is politicians scrambling for quick fixes that backfire—policies that end up making things worse. The market knows it, and so do we. When you restrict competition instead of embracing it, prices don't fall—they find new ways up.

Whenever the government controls prices, everything falls apart. Instead of practicing protectionism, it's better to open up the market. How come this simple logic is still not understood?

Politicians really got it backwards; the more regulation, the higher the prices. Who doesn't understand that?

Politicians pulling this stunt, really unbelievable... Restrict competition and still want to lower prices? Dream on?

Politicians always try to take shortcuts, but end up complicating things. Opening up market competition is the true way to go.

When the government intervenes, prices actually go up. This logic really makes sense... Instead of messing around aimlessly, it's better to open up the market and let competition speak.

Hmm... it's that same free market salvation theory again. Saying it like that every time is completely useless.

Politicians are really something else; the more they regulate, the more chaotic it gets... They tell me that competition can actually lower prices, and I believe it, but do they really listen?
