There's someone that is buying grain and electricity for a high price and sells it for a higher price. It might be profitable for companies, but in the long term it is hurting the economy. I don't want to sell to him so I put my products for a cent higher. Whoever is doing this please stop. You're hurting the economy.
It makes the prices more expensive. The companies that need electricity or grain will need to either buy from him for a very high price or put a bid higher than his. This makes the grain and electricity more expensive which makes it harder to buy for companies that need it. For example, food companies would have to increase the price of food so they can get a profit.
Higher prices dont nesesarily hurt the economy, this helps the low producers, and as long as the prices are not too high then companies that need them can still make a profit. My food companies are making decent profit reguardless.
