Healthcare should be free at the point of delivery.

The other stuff? Just seems like a bunch of random prices with no accounting for any variables.

Why would leather be so expensive? Shouldn't cow skin be nearly free, since cows are being raised and killed for food anyway?

Why would I want to pay $6 for a sandwich? The best ones in the city are about $1.50.

You never had good soup then.

But if it is just a leftover pot with no sides... I guess.

Have you ever skinned, tanned, cut, and assembled a leather jacket?

There's a lot of labor involved.

The healthcare stuff, yes. The rest of the list is coming at the issue from the wrong direction, as per usual. The problem isn't necessarily how much things cost, it's how little people are paid.

Hanoi. You can get a pretty decent sandwich for less than a dollar if you know where to go, but Banh Mi 25 is my favourite and theyre slightly more expensive.

Of course I haven't, because I don't live in the 1800s. This is certainly not my area of expertise, but I thought we have replaced most of the labor with machines and giant vats of industrial chemicals? Or is it still mostly done by hand, in countries where labor is cheap? I'm not talking about an Hermes bag, I'm talking about mass-produced leather jackets.

This reminds me of when I was young and did one of those stupid things for school. Where you had to come up with stuff for your election promises.

I being the brilliant economist said I'd make everything cost a penny. I ofcourse got scolded and insulted by the teacher and teacher assistant for outlandish claims, but to this fucking day neither of them still haven't told me why it won't work.

Way to teach. Jokes on them, I'd make it a penny for everyone else, and front load the rest on them.

Tanning, cutting, and assembly is still a multi-stage process. Working with leather is more demanding and time consuming than other fabrics.

Thanks! I obviously never tried to actually look into it. Although, I note that the source referenced at the bottom of that particular article is fifty years old...

The closest restaurant by that name to me according to Google is in Vietnam.
