Blame the landlords for that $4 slice of pizza, as the pizzeria is just trying to cover their rent. Blame the broken healthcare system, which forced employers to provide health insurance, both indicating health costs and driving up expenses for the employer, which get passed onto you. Blame the culture of hyper-growth, in which a business is judged on a quarterly basis and focused on providing income to shareholders rather than providing a service to customers. And blame a tax system that increasingly removes money from the commons and into select private hands.
Greed, yes, but probably not on behalf of the pizzeria. |
