>but the supply chain costs keep going up.

A good portion of this is cartels that could be squashed. Notably, real estate (commercial and otherwise, driving up the single biggest cost of business/living). But, then, you'd have to deal with the people who rely on cartel-ized pricing power for their income, investment collateral, etc. (But someone is going to get thrown under the bus, so might as well be them.)
