Nathan we in a smaller way, already do, pay more that is
Take recycling, those 15 cent bags
They end up in landfill achieve nothing
Ask your garbo, after he has had a beer or two
Recycle bins often, in some places always, go in the normal landfill bound rubbish
Got a few too many? do you put them in the rubbish?
paying more for strictly good reasons often is just paying more

<<Why do you ask?>>

Let's say for example it's thousands of years from today.

Lets say the environment around you is different.

Let's say prices have risen substantially as there is a strangle hold by two large providers who are dictating food prices internationally and have access to nearly all of the fresh food market.

Let's say no-one is up to opening a shop, that isn't sustainable or able to cater for people's needs.

NathanJ,
If it's thousands of years from now, that's very different.
Assuming an average inflation rate of 1%pa, in a thousand years you'd need over twenty thousand dollars to match the purchasing power of one of todays. So those prices that seemed expensive are actually incredibly cheap!

If your duopoly really had a stranglehold, smaller producers would be very profitable. But if prices are as low as you say, that would explain the absence of smaller producers.

Nathan inflation, it happens, as prices rise food costs rise
One pound [two dollars] once filled my tank bought me beer and cigarettes for a weekend

I think Nathan might get his wish if the coal hating marxist get their way. Then again if they take us the same way as Venezuala we will have to beg for milk and bread rather than pay huge amounts. Is the abc and the rest of the academia elite still inviting these marxist traitors to unis to teach us how to give free medical and health services?
