Ah yes good old tens of thousands in debt and property costing ten times what it used to when boomers bought them, cost of living souring, wages not climbing, and of course it's the cheap tasty chicken keeping the young folk from owning their own home.

When I splurge, I buy hamburger at 9$ a lb.
Wallstreet journal... is Microsoft stock going down again?
Door Dash fees / inflated prices are what should be the real target. In-game cosmetics would be another.
