Only the super rich can afford to pay $9? I.e., roughly the price of a sandwich in 2025?

Do you think that's what the average American pays for their sandwich? Including bringing lunch from home.

If you don't understand working poverty, you won't understand how devastating only $3kpa really looks like on a low wage. Lot's of people right now can't afford that, so cost-neutral alternatives have to exist or you price people out.

You buy a $9 sandwich for lunch everyday then you probably aren’t in the middle class
