Because coffee, as awesome as it is, is a consumer discretionary, not a consumer staple. You don't need coffee in the same vein you need a house, reliable transportation, a phone, sustenance food, etc. Producers will lower prices if t

Putting a bunch of foxes to guard the henhouse isn't cleaning the swamp. It's replacing the old swamp, which was nakedly self-interested, with a new swamp, which is also nakedly self-interested. Meet the new boss, same as the old

Absurd that cars are now seen as an advertising platform by car makers. A car's stereo or display system randomly blasting ads at you (the driver) should be treated for what it really is - intentionally distracting the driver when the
