You’re assuming that the dramatically segmented and stratified experience is the “exact same service”, which is patently not true.

There’s a world of difference between a black officer who managed a supply line, a white non-comp who maintained aircraft, and a queer rifeman who witnessed half his unit die to an IED. And that’s ignoring rape, gang infiltration, religions discrimination, and plain ol “was your CO a jerk or awesome?”

Sleeping on the couch isnt gping to bed, though…

If you call the police you might wind up dead or in an institution for months or weeks.

If you call for an am ambulance, you might wind up dead or in an institution for months or weeks AND will definitely have a huge bill that you have to pay.

You’re forgetting “customers see how much prices are up, and just stay home” or “company C, looking to break in, undercuts A and B and changes the market.”

A real UBI is a great fix for capitalism, since it makes “f it, I’ll just stay at home” possible.

Assuming you’re a US citzen:

0. Identiy that the fault is how we fund healthcare, not “government meddling” or “bad researchers”.
1. Pick a major political party.
2. Register as a member and find out where your local meetings are.
3. Make clear that the ONLY issue you care about is fixing healthcare.
4. Volunteer, donate, or run if you can.
5. Vote in every general, primary, or special election for whomever makes fixing healthcare a priority. Spoil if you must, but VOTE.
6. Dont fall for lies.

Fixing healthcare funding is itself broadly popular, but since its inherently unprofitable to care for sick, disabled, or elderly people all possible fixes are either “socialism” or “die quickly”

Healthcare should be like roads or schools or calling the police, not like cars or contractors or hiring a lawyer.

For actual fast food - - that you can order in a drive-thru and not have to wait around for - - the best around here is honestly Wendy’s. They’re not anything id pay $20 each for, but their average burger is better than their just-as-fast competition.

If by “fast” you really mean “without waitstaff”, they’re all great. 5 guys, smashburger, fuddruckers", and a dozen tiny chains all make burgers worth paying a premium for.

About the only place NOT worth getting a burger at is anyplace with waitstaff. They just dont take them seriously enough to do a good job, and wind uo about as good as a slightly well-run McDonald’s.
