I’ve said this before on HN. Behind all the AI enthusiasm and evangelism on HN and tech industry in general, people forget: When most people are out of a job, AI won’t be Doordashing you $15 burrito from Chipotle that cost $30 to deliver. You need a backup plan for when things go South and so far, there doesn’t even seem to be a conversation going on about it.

No doubt. The ingredients to make a Mission-style burrito hover around $2 in quantity. Rice and beans are cheap filler and a 10-pack of 13.5-inch flour tortillas is $3.50. Prices fluctuate, but definitely not enough to justify the current fast food pricing models, which seems to assume everyone works at a FAANG company, which is increasingly not the case. Ditch Chipotle and hit La Cumbre instead.
