And what are all these low wage workers that left the workforce living on?
Is this inflation artificially induced by the 1% to scare us into thinking $15/hr is causing all this?

I could never duplicate Five Guys fries, but I try to avoid fries.
A family of four would be $100 bare minimum thanks to inflation.

Indianapolis' The Cuban Sandwich shop to close despite rebrand, move from Broad Ripple
“There is no staffing. And the cost of food is just taking off, and it's not affordable anymore,” owner Jorge Chalgub told the IndyStar from the 8329 Michigan Road store in Indianapolis.

Table reservations were down 53.2% citywide (New York City) since 2020. In January 2022, that number hit a crushing 72%. But the real bad news can be found in new data from the state comptroller’s office, which shows that from the end of 2019 to the end of 2021, employment in New York City’s restaurant sector plummeted 25.4% — about 78,000 jobs lost.

It was a treat. Don't regret it but that meal would have cost maybe $14 bucks before 2020.
I just find it all surreal. Here's a receipt from a D.C. Five Guys in 2016. The Little Bacon Burger was $5.99. That same burger is $9.99 today.
What is happening now is unsustainable.
This is the way it’s going to be and also the way it’s supposed to be. Americans were paying ridiculously low prices before to encourage consumption. Now, companies can make the same or increased profits with less people buying. It’s good for citizens to stop buying and consuming so much crap.
Companies are not going to make the same or increased profits with less foot traffic and higher retail rental rates. They will shut down.

$27. For a burger, fries, and a hot dog for my daughter and I to share.
This inflation and 'supply chain crisis' is ridiculous.
