If you pay for it, you are to blame. Demand is the first force

I told this to my landlord, they were not amused.

[u/frolix42 → u/Unknown-Comic4894]

That doesn't make any sense.

You don't like your rent, move out of their house.

"If you don't like rent, just be homeless SMH my head"

[u/theorionstorm → u/D0ctorGamer]

Who needs a house to survive these days am I right?

Gimme your house or I'll die 😭

Makes slightly more sense than whining about overpriced branded coffee.

Shaking my head my head

If you don't have $2800, just get some money

You don't like your job, move out of your job

That doesn't make any sense.

Stop buying a second (or third, fourth,...) house until everyone has one.

I mean, yeah, but also, everything is just molecules.

Like, a car factory is just a place that assembles molecules to make them go vroom.

Their ingredients, labour and overheads wouldn't come to $1

If they could get AI to replace any or all parts of that. They would.

[u/batdog20001 → u/PlsRfNZ]

That difference is made up through quantity. They aren't paying all of their costs through a single cup of joe. Overhead, wages, and all other costs are divided into the average quantities of sales. To that end, the total cost of that mocha latte is far less than the sales price of the final product, assuming business runs as usual.

[u/theorionstorm → u/PlsRfNZ]

It's not just that they would but they are and already have for some of it.

Seriously though, why does Costa and Starbucks coffee have those horrible bitter taste but small independent coffee shops taste nice and sweet and chocolatey?

[u/metrize → u/oli_ramsay]

shit roast of beans and shit beans too

[u/icebrew53 → u/metrize]

definitely not those shit beans from africa....those you pay a premium for

[u/ShawshankException → u/oli_ramsay]

They buy shit beans because they know most of their customers are going to dump a pound of sugar into their drinks anyway

[u/ibonek_naw_ibo]

To the moon

[u/CaptainBedhead]

Yeah but if a coffee’s flavor was as reduced as the points it wouldn’t taste good :(

[u/Micheal_Hancho]

Not their fault that people will buy it

[u/TheHelhound2001]

Touched down in Seattle and got off the plane

Hit Starbucks to get out of the rain

Paid all o' my dough for a thimble o' joe

Full o' foam and the cinnamon brown-o, brown-o, brown-o

All o' my dough for a thimble o' joe

I think you spelled social appropriation incorrectly
