- vkou 3y agoI mean, there's no singular smoking gun. It's all of these factors at once, and as such, there's no simple remedy for it. We could outlaw war and drought, I suppose. We could have more labour done by indentures and slaves, that might drive the wage part of the equation down. We could tax or seize the profit margins and redistribute them to the people buying $22 burritos. Or we could just live with the understanding that this is a Premium Burrito (tm) that should only be eaten for weddings or birthdays, and it's not supposed to be affordable. --- (I make Premium Burritos at home for a lot less than $22, but I also don't have to pay myself - or shovel money into rent for a hip storefront... Or raise prices by $5 because my ingredient and labor costs went up by $2...)
