That's my point, the data is obscured in such a way that all we see is an abstract price going up, but not how much of that price was directly or indirectly influenced by the cost of bureaucracy.
This number would be $0 for most cups of coffee (made in paid-for buildings) and <$0.02 for pretty much all the remaining ones, I think?
Rent on the other hand is 15%+ for every cup of coffee in perpetuity (not counting second-order question of what % of wages go directly into residential rent).
I agree with your response though.
