I didn't have a chance to watch all the grocery store CEO's and their testimony on higher grocery prices, just a little bit.

I am wondering if anybody asked them what reasonable, easy to implement, long term investment government's across the board can make to ease inflation on food prices and how it can lead to a decrease in prices as a whole?

My family has been in the small grocery business since the 60's and as an outsider looking in, there are a lot of steps that can be taken to help with costs. As costs have increased, so have the prices.

We always talk about energy prices, fuel costs, supply chain, labour issues etc but are any of these things getting addressed in a meaningful way?

Can the government assist their own people and perhaps reduce taxation on items at the grocery store??

This seems like these committee's are nothing but optics for the people in power to look like they are working for us.
