I want lower prices at the point of sale. Full stop. I see where the costs are being inflated. The farmers are benefiting from high prices. Lower the prices.

Rebates mask the price of goods. They lock in high margin, tie the consumer, and then rely on a rebate to equate back to a true market price. We use them to hide cost and pricing and bind customers. Rebates can be removed. They don’t allow supply and demand to change markets.
