You're talking about the system as though it hasn't been providing people with cake for 150 years. Living paycheck to paycheck is not new. Using markets to distribute food prevents those people from starving by making it worthwhile to create more food.

If people can't afford food, give them more money and let prices rise. This lets them eat and makes the hoarders pay the true cost of their hoarding.

As long as people actually get more money, then I'm okay with prices rising.
I'm living on my savings, so no, I'm not ok with prices rising.
Inflation is just theft from savers.
