I know I'd do it if I could lower the per-meal cost by buying more of the same thing. I typically do all my prep work for a whole week of meals on Sunday night so that cooking each night takes 10-20 min. I'd pay for a Blue Apron t

This is the part that worries me. Up until now, whenever wealth accumulates to an extreme degree, things always collapse, often violently. This is because the rich have always relied on the poor to produce for them and the poor have always
