Just world fallacy
Yeah how much does lunch cost when you include the cost of a private jet flight to a pedo island?
Is there a place near where y’all work that lunch is still reasonably priced?
My whole foods near me does take away warm chicken for super cheap. You get a bunch of wings for like 3.50, or a few chicken legs, or a leg and a thigh. It’s a decent enough deal I eat it a few times a week.
Oh shit nice
Check yours it’s pretty clutch for a quick cheap meal!
Nearest whole foods is over an hour lol
We didn’t have lunch today
If you eat 28 lunch 3 times a day every day it will be $30660 per year. $30660 a year will not make you not poor in most of America, so might as well eat well.
JFC. Are people really this bad at home economics?
$30k extra would make a huge difference, though. I get the point you’re trying to make, but your example is flawed. People shouldn’t have to choose between eating well and not having to work until they die. A more effective way to re-frame this would be “Why does lunch cost $28?”
would make a huge difference
would make jack fuck. If there is no inflation (lol) and you want to scrounge enough money to have something to just about survive, you can start saving 30k per year right now, and in 53 years you will meet your goal.
The realistic question is “will I be alive in 53 years” and realistic answer for most of us is “what the fuck of course no”. But if you’re a toddler and have some stupid ideas about the existance of the future still, then yeah, you could start asking why does lunch costs $28, or why do you need to not eat now to eat later, shouldn’t be there some smarter system about it.
That is your retirement right there. Plug those numbers into a retirement calculator.
Was it worth it?
People are having lunch?
So we are not talking about the fact, that he wears two watches???
It’s giving $10 banana vibes
This is the new avocado toast slur that boomers are gonna use to describe the younger generations lack of not being able to afford anything.
rotisserie chicken!
If I’ve read all the past posts from people in the USA correctly, it’s not lunch that’s expensive but the healthcare to stay alive.
This. I’m paying nearly $500 a month for shitty insurance that I literally can’t afford the co-pays to actually use. I would literally just go uninsured if my employer weren’t reimbursing me for the premium. It’s functionally the same thing.
I haven’t seen a doctor in over 20 years. I didn’t have insurance for most of that time. I’ve finally had insurance in the last five years or so, but now I can’t find a doctor my insurance covers that is taking new patients.
At this point, many people should just game the system to get a decent living.
2 bedroom apartments cost what a mortgage can cost for a 4 bedroom new house in some places. Got a very trustworthy friend with good credit? Pay them for “housekeeping” while the only thing they’re cleaning out is the beer in the fridge while playing vidyagames. Let them show extra income and get a house. Be roommates. Have other roommates join in. Everyone hoard money while having cheap living in a nice new place.
Is that fraud? Idk but I’m in a nice new house and hoarding money.
… you’re sort of just describing a housing co-op.
Except that instead of it being a “particularly trustworthy friend” it’s a legal entity that everyone paying into has voting rights for.
Yeah most people agree $28 for lunch is insanely expensive.
But it doesn’t stop quotes like this from being passed around as ragebait.
i want to jam his face into a waffle iron
I will pay $30,000 for this plan for a 25% stake in his pain.
That’s a business plan I can get behind
30 dollars for a lunch?
I dont even spend 30 dollars, total, for a week of lunches and dinners. I aint one of them youthes, though.
