the value and the experience of fast food is just not there anymore. some startup is going to disrupt all of this with something so deliciously reasonable soon i hope.
Food is a much harder industry for new tech to disrupt, because no new startup can ever compete with the beef supply chains that McDonalds etc. have established.
It’s easy to launch a website to a some online thing. It’s much harder to an absurd amount of agricultural products all over the country for cheap.
Thats one aspect, yes, but capitalists aren’t just going to stop being capitalists because people are a little less likely to succumb to advertising. People still need food, still need housing, still need fun and leisure to stay sane. And there will still be people there eager and willing to exploit that need to the best of their ability… and more than willing to ignore them if its not worth their time.

i agree, and am convinced it wont be beef. or fried potatoes.
If it was that easy, we’d be flooded with reasonably priced sources of food and other things.
The ability for the “free market” to fix all our problems has always been vastly overstated.
The ability for the “free market” to fix stuff is antiproportional to the stupidity of customers being manipulated by obvious advertising lies.
The solution is education and teaching critical thinking skills.

it was never easy. if it were i would have done it myself.
