Trading stocks only radicalized me more. Lunch at a fast food spot is now over $15. Meanwhile it's possible to make a "trade" that nets more profit than a Popeyes employee earns in a day of work.

This can't last... or can it?

    its genuinely unfathomable how raising a whole fucking chicken and paying a guy to cook it can cost only like 15 dollars

    the horror of capitalism lies entirely somewhere else but on that fucking receipt

      Economies of scale are truly something.

      I bet the total cost of that meal is something like $2-3 after factoring in the chicken itself, feed, time to raise it, shipping. Etc.
