The penalty for illegal price fixing food like Weston’s Bread, should be nationalization into the public fold.

The Weston Bakery Empire and Galen’s yacht aptly named “Bread” should be public property.

We need that in Norway.

Ummm yes

God yes. The grocery selection here is horrible.

They’re here to advance the interests of the state. Which is usually the status quo, but when it’s suddenly not, shit happens.

It’s a solution that can be implemented by powerless people on their own. I agree that the state has better means at its disposal, but they’re not going to help any time soon.

State owned and employee owned are very different, though both are better than the corporate system we have now. Both have advantages and disadvantages though. State owned ideally operates solely for the benefit of the public, though the government has to not be corruptable. Employee owned answers to employees, so it operates in their best interest, which is often to customers best interest too. They aren’t run purely to generate a profit for shareholders. They’re generally operated to be stable and provide good jobs for a long time, and not exploit employees obviously.

Mostly Loblaw’s (Shopper’s Drugmart) in Ontario. And apparently the employees work for Galen too so they’re paid accordingly.

That and the coordinated price fixing by the supermarket chains and the supply monopolies (Bama, asko etc)

food, housing, transport is the three things that the government should take care of

though food is more complex than housing and transport because there’s more things to take care of, more members involved and more things to plan out carefully
