@Shago1776 We when you haven't the money to buy the oven, the energy both electricity and personal. You can't afford the entire box of seasonings, the water, etc. How do you cook cheaply?

@Shago1776 So take the cost of the raw ingredients. Add the cost of the seasoning, what you need to prepare it, the cost of the dishes, the pots and pans, the oven, the electricity, the dish soap and water to clean it all, the time it takes to make it. Some is reused but you need to buy it

He is absolutely correct, Gen Z needs to learn to cook. Yeah, prices are absolutely ridiculous now, but boomers and gen X rarely ever ate out, it was treated as a treat. Im gen z and growing up, it was a treat, we rarely went out. I cool a much as I can, it saves a ton of money.

@HankVenture5 Everything a company sells has a cost of production and they always sell above that cost. So why is it that a business owner can force their employees to provide services at a cost lower than its production cost? That's the question. It goes AGAINST capitalism to force that wage
English
The same people who shrieked incessantly about how $25/hr was absolutely necessary for menial zero skill work are now confused about why a value meal costs $15, a car costs $35K and a house costs $500K

@gov_fails OK, as a student, I would buy a tin of beef mince, the most mechanically recovered full of crap stuff, it cost me 80p and it was about that price until this cost of living madness exploded. The same crap is now £2.40 The cost of the most basic stuff is the cost that's exploded
English
Gen X here...
I've worked hard for 30 years to get where I am. I make good money, and I've earned it.
I can afford a $28 lunch, but choose not to spend that much most of the time because it feels frivolous.
Gen Z is on here complaining about why lunch costs $28, or why Chipotle or Jersey Mike's costs what it does. I get it, it's definitely more than it used to be.
So adjust. Get water instead of a $5 soda. Find a local place that is more reasonable. Bring in a lunch from home once in a while.
Solve the problem instead of whining and continuing to hurt yourself by spending that much money if you really shouldn't be.

@BenGrahamUK So you are trying to change the narrative to make this about tax and not about a potential Prime minister taking millions of pounds from a crypto billionaire that could influence his governments opinions over bitcoin and other matters? So he's guilty then and this is a cover?
English
All the rumours.
All the slurs.
All the hysterical accusations aimed at Nigel Farage.
And now it turns out he likely doesn’t owe any tax at all.
Another failed attempt at character assassination from people desperate to destroy him politically.
This has backfired spectacularly.
Dan Neidle@DanNeidle
I promised our analysis of the £5m gift to Nigel Farage would annoy everybody. The verdict? He probably doesn't owe any tax. Why? Because "campaigning for Brexit" isn't a taxable trade, and genuine gifts aren't income. But there are risks for him. Thread:

@Nigel_Farage @RobKenyonReform Anything to not be in Parliament or Clacton

@RealBrittHughes Just another way to deflect from the fact that cost of living is so high now many will start to starve if wages don't match. There is REAL hardship, but lets complain about pricey coffee and Avacado toast. used to have tinned mince as it was cheap. Its now the same cost as fresh
English
Everyone is slamming this video but the NYT published an article just last month about young couples who aren’t having kids because they think a 2,400 sq ft house is too small, their overseas travel costs would increase, and they already pay $600 a month for poodle daycare.
Sure, stuff costs more these days, but insane living standards and overconsumption is a huge part of the problem for young adults.

@JoeCassandra What jobs? You speak like there are millions of new jobs at better wages. There aren't. If people did get better jobs there would be no-one doing the lowest paid jobs and industries would be crying out. It's not lasyness, we just aren't creating the type of jobs people need
English
Here's your harsh truth:
Inflation isn't the problem.
You just think you're entitled to every luxury.
- You don't want to live in a 1000 sq ft house, it has to be 3000 sq ft
- You need to drive a new car every 4 years
- Vacation has to be at a nice hotel with room service
- Dinner has to be Door Dashed because you're tired
- I need a new iPhone every 18 months
- Everyone goes to Disney World, so I deserve to as well
No you don't.
Make more money or be quiet.
You're not entitled to eat out every day.
Growing up, we ate out 2x a month, and it was a bag of burgers and a few large fries we split.
"We shouldn't have to live like they did in the old days"
No luxury is an entitlement.
You still have to put in the work to afford it.

#BREAKING Australian actress Holly Valance says that everyone “starts out as a lefty”
But then you “wake up” when you try to “run a business or buy a home”
“And then you realise how crap their ideas are”
Hard to argue, Holly.

@Conservatives @KemiBadenoch Two things have had such a detrimental effect to employment.
Global pandemics.
And Labour governments.
English
Rachel Reeves is responsible for the single largest drop in employment since COVID.
Read that again.
Only @KemiBadenoch’s Conservatives can Get Britain Working Again.
English
@Conservatives @KemiBadenoch I keep seeing this, but no-one seems to have data on how many job losses there are due to AI or at least using AI as an excuse
English
🚨 If you’re a British taxpayer…
…you currently owe £74,000 to pay off the national debt.
Let me explain.
Britain’s national debt is now roughly £2.9 TRILLION.
There are around 39million taxpayers in the UK.
That works out at roughly £74,000 of debt for every single taxpayer in the country.
And the terrifying part?
The government is still borrowing tens of billions more every year.
So every time politicians announce another few billion for this scheme or that project…
…remember who ultimately gets handed the bill.
Your bill is currently £74,000.
English
@NickBuckleyMBE So, the government makes a decision that makes you unemployed and you loose the right to change the government? It's like we've forgotten what the word "Democracy" means. If they are a UK citizen, they get the right to vote
English
Democracy is failing. Is it because everyone has the right to vote? Should we limit who votes? Ideas would be: British born only, house owners, employed, ex armed forces, law abiding. I feel this will be a conversation we will be having over the next decade.
English
@ClaireCoutinho So nothing to do with businesses replacing humans with AI? Nothing at all....
English
The largest single monthly drop in employment outside of COVID.
Yet today Ed Miliband will force Labour MPs to vote to kill jobs in the oil and gas industry.
Why? So we can import more gas with higher emissions from abroad.
Economic insanity.
MaxC@ColeFusionHQ
ONS labour market figures, just dropped. payrolled employees down 210,000 on the year. down 100,000 in a single month. largest monthly drop outside covid.
English
@Matt_VickersMP So what happens to those on minimum wages that are under the cost of living? don't they start work early, work hard throughout the day? What would happen if we ended in-work benefits? How many would loose everything and end up homeless? Why would anyone take those jobs?
English
People often ask why I'm a Conservative.
It's because people who get up early, work hard and do the right thing deserve a fair crack of the whip.
A hand up, not a handout.
Because government needs to get out of the way and let people live their lives.

@ThePholosopherX then there is the huge increase in power usage, dwarfing renewable generation forcing us back to oil and gas. Then there is the side effect of the heat generation damaging the local envrionments. Then there is the noise polution
English
@ThePholosopherX OK. Most of the usages of AI are bad for the average citizen. It is supposed to take 60% of jobs destroying welfare systems and putting millions into poverty, while the owners live it up with AI assistants and robots.
English
The demonization of AI data centers is the demonization of progress. It's the advancement of technology while many gripe and moan, not understanding how it improves their abilities to do more. And so many don't understand either that data centers already exist for cloud computing. Running AI software doesn't change the fact that it's just a bunch of GPUs doing math in a building.
English
@Sierra_rak Why is it that you can choose to keep wages below inflation, below the cost of living, leave it to society to make the difference, push your costs to welfare schemes. Yes scale needs scale but they should also pay their dues. You do know google makes no profit for tax reasons
English
@Sierra_rak OK, lets say you were running a fast food restaurant and your supplier of burgers upped the price. You might try and find a cheaper alternative but ultimately have to increase the price. You can't demand to keep paying the cheaper price. So why is it with employees you can?
English
People hate billionaires but somehow think civilization, electricity, global infrastructure, smartphones, aerospace, modern medicine, and the internet could’ve been built from cozy little mom-and-pop shops.
Scale requires scale.
You do not get massive systems, coordination, innovation, manufacturing, logistics, and technological acceleration without enormous concentrations of capital, labor, and ambition.
English
@Artemisfornow Of course, those building the datacentres should be paying to expand the power grid, but for some reason they won't.
English
You can smell the net zero scam. It was never about ‘saving the planet’
We get higher bills, petrol car bans, carbon taxes and heat pumps…
Whilst AI datacentres are preparing to burn gas on site because the grid can’t cope with demand.
fossil fuels are unacceptable for us… but perfectly fine for Big Tech server farms powering our digital prison 🔥
