Great points and I agree. Although personally I enjoy going to fancy coffee shops and having a nice pastry and coffee. Sure I can make coffee at home but it’s not the same.

I can’t make a latte easily and sometimes I just like to go out 🤷♀️ It’s definitely not a need but that’s ok too, it’s like going out for lunch or dinner, for me, since I rarely do that. At least it’s not buying extra stuff I need a storage unit for 😉😆
But yes, price isn’t the be all and end all, for sure.
Another thing Sowell doesn’t seem to address is the lopsided nature of these tariffs. I can’t really support us having few or no tariffs when everyone else has numerous heavy tariffs for our exported goods. How is that fair or how is that helping our economy and our people??
Oh I meet people for coffee - both business and personal. Just not every day.
But many people make that a daily routine. My mom's caregiver would show up every day with a huge Starbucks coffee and then complained to her about having trouble paying her bills. My mom told her she could drink her coffee for free and that she needed to quit wasting money at Starbucks and save that money for her bills, lol. She just laughed and said she needed to treat herself in the mornings.
See, that’s the issue. Not having fancy coffee, having it every day when you are having trouble paying your bills. She needs a good dose of Dave Ramsey lol 😆

Coffee shops are where I go to have a coffee & covid discussion with a friend or someone who is possessed with TDS.
