A lot of employees are holding out for that right now, hoping that the industry itself will change. I'm just fascinated by what's potentially on the table for everyone right now. What I want to just state also is that it doesn't mean that there shouldn't be affordable food because there should, right? But the argument right now that we're facing because of the pandemic is

is that the reason why it's so flawed is the only answer is not just that we as a consumer need to pay more for food. The reason why we need to either pay more or look at the whole system is because it's not that everyone is not making enough. It's just that all of the costs around them what you're making in a restaurant doesn't allow you to live within a city. Right, where the restaurant is.

Yeah, everything is just too high right now. Yeah. And so the only thing that is being forced to continue to be low or cheap is food, whereas everything else is being raised. Yeah, inflation's hit everywhere. Inflation hits everywhere. You can't expect the restaurant industry to just stay stagnant while everything else continues to multiply. Yeah.

And all we're arguing in the restaurant industry is that just let the restaurant industry multiply with everything else. So if you don't want your noodles or your burger to be $30 or $20 or whatever, and a third of that goes to the staff to help them, then let's lower some of the other things around it.

Can't afford it, yeah.

Well, things are so unbalanced now that I'm like the least political person in the world, but I think that we need some form of like democratic socialism. We still need to be a capitalist country. There still needs to be the opportunity to make it big at any moment in life. Just tripping over a rock, you could become a star or whatever, you know, we need that.

But things are just so way out of whack right now that we need something in the middle to be able to sustain at least just a basic form of life. People can't even get to sea level right now. And that's the
