We didn’t have lunch today
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.
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
Ahh nevermind then! 🤣
So we are not talking about the fact, that he wears two watches???
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.
$30k extra would make a huge difference, though. I get the point you're trying to make, but 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.
Sounds like you know fuck all about finance. "If there's no inflation." Uh, yeah. That 30k a year is beating inflation by a LOT in any sort of investment.
JFC. Are people really this bad at home economics?
That is your retirement right there. Plug those numbers into a retirement calculator.
Was it worth it?
If you don't afford yourself good things, and don't spend any money, you can remove it from the economy so when you're old and can't work anymore, you can fight with billionaires to get a portion of that money back so you can afford one instance of medical help.
Who am I kidding, there will be no medical care by the time you retire.
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
Yeah how much does lunch cost when you include the cost of a private jet flight to a pedo island?
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.
People are having lunch?
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.
I work at a hospital that provides hospital based insurance for their employees. I paid more in copays to use their Physical Therapy staffed by PT students than it was to go to a local out of network PT place.
They still couldn't determine exactly how I injured my knee not how to help. This, in addition to all the steps it took to get to the Rehab referral aspect wiped out 2 years of my FSA
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've seen this argument from people before, with avocado toast and Starbucks and everything else, but no one seems to ask why lunch is $28 or blame the people charging $28 for lunch as part of the problem

Its $28 because you rich assholes ruin everything
What we need to understand about O'Leary is that:
a) He likely had an incredibly tiny penis.
and b) He is absolutely desperate to be seen in the same circle as the likes of Musk, Zuck, Gates, Bezos, etc...
The reality is that his wealth pales incomparison to those guys, at roughly 150 million. To them, he's as much a pauper as you and i are. He's a nobody. And that fucking grinds at him that he's not a part of the cool kids club. It gnaws at his insides that, in reality, the people above him AND the people below him would literally not give a shit if he fucked off back to Canada and died in obscurity.
For all of their evil, the group that O'Leary desperately wants to be seen as equal to will at least leave some sort of Legacy. They'll at least be remembered in the history books, even if just a footnote about their shitty shenanigans.
O'Leary will be forgotten as soon as he's in the ground. Probably sooner.
That's why he's suddenly forcing himself into every fucking news program, and awards shows, and trying to strike deals for massive data centers that no one wants. Because he's a sad and pathetic old man afraid of being forgotten.
also, did I mention he has an incredibly tiny penis?
You know who else has tiny/no penis? Half the population. If you want to criticize this annoying cunt, use facts.

He misrepresented himself on Canadian Sharktank for three seasons as making his money off a $3B deal with Mattel. It was only in season 4 he was outed as having no equity in that deal. The deal eventually made Mattel -$3B.
-
He started the O'Leary fund off his Sharktank brand. It under performed every year and eventually got sold at a loss. Everyone lost. Every call he made was a loser.

In 2019, O'Leary and his wife were speeding on a boat across a lake at night, when they hit another boat and killed two people. Unclear who was driving the boat, police did not check sobriety. O'Leary settled in a secret settlement. O'Leary and wife got off in criminal court. After killing two people, O'Leary sued the victims for $3M but the case was not won.

Thankfully, this piece of shit moved to Boston.
His penis has nothing to do with it. Stop obsessing over peoples genitals.
Just raccoons.

It's insulting that this guy says 70k like it's a low salary (for "kids" as he says). I make a quarter of that. I also know a lot more retired old people who never made close to that in their lifetime than ones who did make that much
And if I did make that much it would still feel insulting because I'm pretty sure most people making 70k can easily afford weekly $28 lunches...
Edit: Just saw that this motherfucker is wearing two expensive watches on the photo... absolutely repulsive person

30 dollars for a lunch?
I dont even spend 30 dollars, total, for a week of lunches and dinners. I one of them youthes, though.
Oh no! Another asshole billionaire who is out of touch with reality. Whatever will we do?
Wait is $70,000 a year a low amount of money? That's an insane amount of money to be considered poor.
What does a homeless person make? $100,000 a year?
70k is basically living in the streets in a chunk of America while a few places it's living like a king.
But those places are quickly going away.

When you can't afford a vacation you may as well splurge on lunch now and then.
