@musings_blonde And triple that meat purchase and it’s lunch for a week. Not just a day.

@Awk20000 It’s literally so much more expensive to make a sandwich yourself and there’s so much food waste.
English
@RolloRouen @DrKarlynB More than a $1 at that moment but future days it’s ZERO.
English
@DrKarlynB We’re talking about buying one $15 sandwich versus spreading the cost of the ingredients over a certain amount of time.
However much you pay, in the moment it’ll be more than $1.

>”It costs you 99 cents to make a sandwich at home and bring it with you”
The bread alone is $3.50, but thanks.

Kevin O'Leary says most people waste $15,000 a year on stupid stuff like $5 coffees "Stop buying coffee for five dollars and fifty cents" "You go to work and you spend $15 bucks on a sandwich, what are you an idiot. It costs you 99 cents to make a sandwich at home and bring it with you" "Bring your own water, your own drink or your own coffee mug. You start to add that up every day it's a ton of money" "Most people starting on their job making their first $60,000 piss away about $15,000 a year"

@theobjectivist It’s also anti-capitalist to have government fund private companies with funds and or tax breaks.
Can we get government out of both sides.
English
This is pure anti-capitalist statism and should be condemned.
A bill "RESTRICTING" who may buy a single family home overrides the property rights of every American seller. The owner has the right to sell to the highest bidder. Banning that voluntary exchange by federal fiat is the same coercion the left uses, with a new villain.
BlackRock did not cause the crisis. The Federal Reserve did, by inflating the dollar. Zoning boards did, by criminalizing supply. Institutional investors hold roughly 3% of single family rentals. You are cheering a scapegoat hunt that leaves every actual cause untouched.
"Homes for people, not corporations" is collectivist sloganeering. A corporation is individuals voluntarily pooling capital. To say capital may not bid is to make property rights conditional on tribal approval.
When Trump and Warren agree 396 to 13, ask which premise the right just surrendered.
The premise they surrendered: That property rights are absolute.
Nick Sortor@nicksortor
🚨 JUST IN: The House has OVERWHELMINGLY passed a Trump-backed bill to RESTRICT companies like Blackrock from buying up single family homes LONG overdue! 🔥 It’ll now head to the Senate, then to POTUS’ desk 🇺🇸

@N8TheCre8tive Government also wants to inflate wages for said burrito makers. That’s inflationary as well, no? I just choose to not purchase said $17 burrito.
English
The burrito is $17 because their operation costs are more expensive. If everybody stopped buying chipotle they will just lay ppl off not drop the prices. This isn’t an organic market issue. It’s an artificial inflationary issue. Stop absolving the government from responsibility.
Tara@EmbracingTara
Chipotle burritos cost $17 because the market supports $17 burritos If everyone said, I'm not paying $17 for a burrito, fuck that, Chipotle burritos wouldn't cost $17. Chipotle burritos cost me $0.00. Do you know why? I choose not to purchase them. Is this clocking at all?

@delatorre Would rephrase it to it forced the umpires to use the ‘real’ strike zone versus an arbitrary zone of each’s own making.

Really interesting watching the ABS this week in Hoover. Nuanced because they literally made the strike zone bigger after 50+ games but seems to be working

@Kazeem Anyone can cook while using other people’s money. It’s what they do when the money dries up that matters
English
@DayDrinkingMan @kim_siever Wrong. She meal preps each weekend for the week. Point is, she’s not asking me for money nor is she carrying credit card debt. She can do what she wants with her money. Received a healthy tax refund snd said Dad, put that on my Roth IRA. Something says we did something right!

@dgold113 @kim_siever shes for sure lying about making her own lunch because she knows its something people like you think matters lol

@MCUDrew122 @greendragonhq I’m not part of any party. Have as many as babies as you want or not. just don’t ask me to fund them.

@dgold113 @greendragonhq The party pushing teenage pregnancy and against abortions are blaming household size for welfare... how do you all not recognize how dumb you are?

Wal-Mart generated $700 billion in revenue last year but yet, 30% of their employees are on tax payer funded welfare.
Why are Republicans not upset about this?
They are more upset with the worker than the corporation paying poverty wages.

@OwenShroyer1776 It’s comparing almonds and that’s it. Come on. We can live without almonds. And how does one milk an almond? 😂
English
Why do I keep seeing the argument pop up that food uses more water than data centers?
We're comparing OUR FOOD SUPPLY to data centers?!
Who's funding this op?
Colin McCarthy@US_Stormwatch
Insane stat of the day: California almonds use roughly 3–5.5 million acre-feet of water per year, depending on methodology. That's ~4-7x more water than all data centers in North America used combined in 2025.

Loaf of bread = $5 Peanut butter = $4 Jelly = $4 18 pack of chips = $12 Bag of apples = $5 Total = $30 And you'll have lunch for an entire week or two. $2-4 average per day. Inflation isn't the problem. Your spending habits are.

@stephen34589599 @greendragonhq Have and want to continue (example:

National debt is barreling towards $40 trillion.
27% of this debt occurred under Donald Trump, despite him only being President for 2% of American history.
Republicans are terrible for the economy.

@HakureiRyan Yet boomers are not the cause
Of this. Excessive government is to blame

"Buying lunch out every day was never affordable"
Bitch just 15 years ago $5 worth of fast food could feed you for an entire workweek. That's less than 1 hour of minimum wage pay by the way! Boomers are desperate for us to forget that at one point fast food was price competitive with cooking at home. In fact this strat right here likely came in under the per-meal cost of anything you could make at home for the same amount of calories and fillingness. Remember, these used to be bigger, they have shrinkflated in addition to becoming more expensive.
English
@Gemthemaverick I can eat lunch at home for way under $28 per day.
English
And anyone saying “ just make food at home” is a person who does not buy their own groceries.
Big Britt@bigfacebritt
You cannot budget your way out of $8 gas and $28 lunches
English
@evan_doji Exactly. Pound of roast beef is about $15 and a sack of hoagies is what $5. That’s a week’s worth of footlongs for basically the same price
English
I'm constantly baffled that people can't figure out how to make food at home for a reasonable price. You don't have to buy a $20 subway sandwich.
Agent 711@kwp1039
A footlong roast beef at Subway comes to almost 20 bucks, Kevin

@casbeataol Don’t you just love that people “choose” to work there. Make it make sense.
