Default Re: Morals of buying apples

Allow me to elaborate ( to take some extremes). You could adopt a policy where you force everyone to buy from local producers. This will benefit the people who happen to own apple orchards.

Or, you could allow a free market and allow consumers a free choice. This will benefit poor people, and . . . whoops, everybody else, even local laborers who won’t skew their labor towards an artificial, temporary market, and who will benefit by the population as a whole becoming wealthier.
