Or, make your coffee at home and pay about 10 to 20 cents a cup. $4 cup of coffee is one of those aspirational products, but more than most, makes no effin' sense.
That is exactly what will happen. People will buy less and businesses and employees will suffer. But, the do-gooders, including Ivanka Trump, will feel good about themselves, and that’s what counts.
As the cost of government and everything else goes up due to these intrusions of the market, it will force more mothers into the workplace even if they want to stay home with their children. Why should families with a stay-at-home parent pay more so that 2-income families get more benefits? The government is determined to force all moms into the workplace to pay taxes and have the kiddies in government-run daycare from infancy. Got to start the indoctrination early and stamp out any kind of independent parenting.
This is not about the price of coffee. It’s about the price of government intrusion into the economy and how government makes everything it touches worse. As Reagan said, “The most terrifying words in the English language are: I’m from the government and I’m here to help.”
