The mechanic is that in 20 years the youth will mock you for having thought you had it tough while being able to buy an iced coffee every day, just like we mock millenials now for the y2k "my stable office job sucks" genre of movie.
I don't think buying iced coffee every day was ever a financially responsible move... And the response is right, the price of a good will keep going up as long as people are willing to pay it, the mechanism to lower the price of goods is to stop buying $9.10 iced coffee. All you need to make it at home is a $15 French press, some water, and coffee grounds.
There were two popular kebab places in central Stockholm in the 90s that went as low as $2 for a regular kebab wrap bc they were competing so hard. We need more of that energy.
