Rotisserie chicken, used for burritos, can make lunch for the work week.

Costco’s rotisserie chicken is cheaper than a raw chicken in most places and I don’t need to spend money on utilities to cook it. It’s also gross, but when you’re poor you don’t get a lot of protein options.

Pfft, stupid millenials and gen z wasting all of their monies on fancy rotiserrie chickens and non processed fresh food. If they just lived on a starvation diet, they could afford their rent and insurance. They are just bad with money.

But wages have never had more buying power! The CPI and inflation adjusted numbers say so, and although we've changed the way it's counted to understate it, 2-3% from 5-8% under the old unimproved metric for the last half century, just by 2008, you can totally trust we wouldn't in bad faith understate the numbers to give every worker, every retiree, and every fixed income a pay cut every year automatically, and transferring that money to investors in gate keeping corporations. /s

pretty sure your boss is splurging human babies so shut the fuck up

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They should splurge on savvier investments like third-world suffering

[–] MelodiousFunk@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 month ago

Why should I pay extra for that when my taxes already pay for plenty?

[–] pinheadednightmare@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

When I splurge, I buy hamburger at 9$ a lb.

Wallstreet journal... is Microsoft stock going down again?

[–] AmidFuror@fedia.io 5 points 1 month ago

Door Dash fees / inflated prices are what should be the real target. In-game cosmetics would be another.
