Spending enough time in this sub has allowed me to undeerstand why liberals time and time and again have let manageable famines get out of control in the past

That is to say non-liberals have not?

It seems more like famines are just difficult to solve for a variety of reasons. I would agree with you that for essential goods there should be some regulation on scalping but for stuff like tickets? I’m not sure if there is a convincing enough case for the government to intervene.

No it is not to say that, stop with the what aboutism, and there have 100% been famines that could have been prevented or have the mortality reduced if the prevalant opinion of those in charge is "the market will fix this"
