I can't see how any sane person could argue that it makes more sense to pay
$30 for a filet minioninstead of
$1 for ramen noodles

ROFL. And so we come full circle. I'll continue paying $15 for my steak and you can carry on paying the same and adding a $30 tip for a guy to take your check to the waiter for you. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

The willingness of people in the US to pay more to a middleman than purchase directly is bemusing. Why do US voters willingly spend so much for so little?
This is the top 30 countries in the world ranked by life expectancy with spending on health care plotted over it (year 2000). You're spending 3 times as much on average to come 27th. And you mostly seem happy about it. Huh?
