Grow and trade food
I try to sell my excess produce below grocery store pricing, but people at the meet ups always tell me how they dont have enough money or got no money, if I can give it to them for free.
Now I just give it to a food bank
Acquire food from supermarkets and then leave. They just leave it sitting around all over the place, in there!
But dumpster diving being a legit source of food is fucked up.
Oh, look. Another out-of-touch moron, with a useless opinion.
im sure her name was just added to a few peoples lists for that statement.
As always there is something in german to respond to this (especially to this thumbnail):
„Du hast ein Gesicht wie ein Paar Latschen: Reintreten und wohlfühlen!“
Roughly translated to:
‚You have a face like a pair of slippers: step in and feel comfortable!‘ but with „reintreten“, here: ‚step in‘, primeraly meaning ‚to kick in‘.
Have fun with this random knowledge, copyright by K.I.Z., „Der durch die Scheibeboxxxer“.
The idea that spending on coffee or avocado toast or whatever single food/drink item is causing a widespread drop in home ownership is idiotic enough, but this absolute moron managed to pick something with hard evidence of declining sales.
This is literally a Starbucks ad for boomers.
I guess I'd believe this if all the hard data didn't prove it wrong.
Maybe I should become a conservative so I don't have to bother with hard data anymore and I can just let an almost deceased obese felon rapist tell me what to think.
I did, still poor. I get half my meals for free (food service) still poor. I split rent with 4 other people to the point where my bills are the lowest they've ever been in my life, still poor. Still poor, still poor and not making enough and everything keeps getting more expensive.
I don't care who the fuck she is or what the fuck she says or why anybody is quoting her. Remove her from my oxygen source.
What could a house cost? $10?
i was alive 30 years ago. No the fuck its not.
I love whatever program it is that is job-placing these otherwise unemployable idiots.
Moron, return to the 1950's and 60's, because that was the height of US consumer buying power.
Boomers were buying houses 45 years ago. Buy 30 years ago they were on their third or fourth move. I think the struggle of buying a $35,000 house on an annual $12k salary was a little different than the fantasy of buying a $500k house on a $36k salary.
Okay
shorts SBUX
ignorant cunt
We should make an initiative where we collect donations and sends tons of maneur to theresidencies of rich people.
By boomer standards I'm lower middle class as an engineer. I could theoretically afford a kid or two and a small house, and with two incomes we could even do that while having occasional vacations and retirement savings. You know, the sort of life that so long as you didn't really fuck up you could afford as a boomer, but several years younger than me as well.
