What’s bizarre about the avocado toast thing is avocados were 2-4/$1 or a whole whopping $.79 ea then.

Not that it makes it a better argument, but the meme was that millennials were going out to restaurants for an 11$ latte and 15$ avocado toast instead of staying home for breakfast. The whole point, to them, was that coffee and avocado toast had some of the cheapest ingredients you could ever ask for.

I severely doubt a lot of the dumbass boomers thought it through well enough to claim that.

That's the whole thing, they don't think for themselves, they watch whatever current angry yelling guy on tv is popular at the time so they know what they are supposed to be angry and yelling about, and who they are supposed to call sheep.

Im aware, my grandmother forms her politics based off shitty SoCal talk radio. Could be worse, but that aint saying much.
