    If people will only pay so much for a cup of coffee, that’s capitalist for “coffee ain’t that big a deal”.

      And now think of the ripple effect of all the jobs lost when places like Starbucks go out of business and restaurants go out of business. Then construction sites and so on.

        Lmao no. People will still want to eat out, and will still want things built. Get real.

          Yes people would want to still do those things. But how many people would want to wait on those people.

          While thinking of that. Think of how much a waiter would want to get paid to do such a job when thier bill are already paid ? How about the cooks ? How about the people delivering the food to the restaurants, the bus Boys and so on. Then what does that do to the final bill and how many peoplenwill fund that palatable.

                I know you don’t, but I didn’t ask you. People want to work, this is just a fact. We got civilisation started in the first place, didn’t we?

                  No it is not a fact that people want to work. There are many people who if they could would never work a day in thier life.
