@McCainInstitute @davidfolkenflik I’m sure Meghan McCain will milk this for all it’s worth. I sure hope he can RIP while she blabs about herself.

We extend our condolences to the McCain family following the passing of Douglas “Doug” Shepp McCain, the eldest son of John McCain. A Navy pilot like his father, Doug will be remembered as a patriot and friend to the many alumni of Sen. McCain’s Institute, campaigns & Senate staff.

I did the math, and it turns out, DoorDash IS actually cheaper than making food at home!
A Chipotle steak burrito delivered by doordash is only $28.
To go and pick one up from the store, it costs over $60,000!
Because, you see, I have to buy a new car to go pick it up, which I won't ever use again.

Gen Z won’t make a Sammy - and then there’s the can-do guy

A Georgia handyman swapped his car for a pink Barbie toy car to beat rising gas prices. Mali Hightower pulled a broken Power Wheels Dream Camper out of the trash and installed a small gas engine from a power washer to give him an alternative to speed around town in instead of his usual mode of transportation. His 1996 Mercedes-Benz convertible typically costs about $90 to fill. The tiny pink vehicle tops out around 35 mph and is now turning heads everywhere he goes as Americans search for cheaper ways to get around.

In case you’re wondering about the current state of House Democrats: they just voted against establishing a Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum.
Their objection? It didn’t include a dedicated wing for trans history.
You almost have to admire the consistency. They managed to turn a women’s museum into an argument about men.

President Trump’s RSVP to his son’s wedding this weekend is still pending. When asked by NBC News if would be going, the president said "this is not good timing for me. I have a thing called Iran and other things." nbcnews.com/politics/donal…

@CartoonsHateHer @BridgetPhetasy So many feeble minded, fragile and resistant to learning. Maybe it was the Tide Pods.

some people can't cook. some people don't have the resources to buy the right spices. some people work 4 jobs. some people don't have legs or arms. some people are allergic to home cooking. some people don't even have mouths.

@notaproviderMD @asthegirlturns I’m not relying on it but you’re dang right I’m going to cash that check when the time comes. It’s my money. I want it back.

They really think Gen Xers were stupid enough to count on Social Security for retirement.

@CenTexLakeRat @RobProvince Ahh so you're pulling yourself up by the bootstraps, and when that check does come in you'll return it since clearly you don't need it?

@hanburbger @IamR0galD0rn So you’re saying you’re not willing to make sacrifices to get by in tough times and move up in life.

@IamR0galD0rn @DarkPit371 If I ate a turkey sandwich with kraft cheese every day I'd blow my own head off.

LUNCH. IS NOT. THE ONLY MEAL. OF THE DAY.
A 300 calorie sandwich and an apple and some carrot sticks, a bag of chips... like $3 dude. And it's 450 calories.
YOU DONT NEED THE OPTION OF 2K CALORIES EVERY MEAL.
Rolando Tillit@Rolando_tillit
@IamR0galD0rn @bradtherambler A ham sammich is ~300 calories, you'd have to eat 6 a day just to maintain your weight.

No. No we fucking couldn't.
When I started working, minimum wage was $3.25/hr. Mortgage rates were 13%. A house cost $47K. We had roommates in shitty apartments in unsafe neighborhoods. We didn't get to eat Doordash for every meal; we cooked our-damn-selves. Ramen, mostly. We bought generic groceries (remember those, fam?) and stretched every dollar we made. Eating out (including fast food) was a luxury.
I'd really like for people who upgrade their thousand-dollar iPhone every year and order out single meals that cost me three days worth of groceries to stop whining about how tough they have it. It's getting old.

@TarHeeled67 @ShamashAran for nearly 20 years a single minimum-wage worker could comfortably afford a mortgage on an average house You people are more comfortable blaming others when the obvious is staring you in your face.

I would say these younger generations are cooked but they can’t even do that apparently.
English
@DanielleBFranz But they know all the ins and outs of social media.

$28 lunches make more sense when you realize that over 25% of millennials can't make a cake from a box mix and under a third of young adults feel confident in the kitchen
The loss of the American family table has led to the growth of the "cooking illiterate"
English
@ramolginc They do both because their time is so incredibly valuable they can’t make a sandwich

@fledtothesouth Correction Scarlett- I see this a lot from coworkers I have.
Nobody has it delivered to their doorstep. They have it delivered to the. At work. But now you can carry on educated.

Gen Z: You Boomers have ruined everything, I’ll never afford a home!
Also Gen Z: I must have someone else prepare the majority of my meals and deliver it to my doorstep…. how dare you deprive me of an essential human need!
𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐠@CasuallyGreg
Gen Z spends more on delivery and eating out than any other generation (graph one). They also report the lowest confidence in cooking skills (graph two). Gen Z is choosing this trade-off.

@Ryv4tt @SassySouthBlond You realize people come here without even speaking English and figure these things out, right? Get some grit, creativity and resilience FFS

Kevin O’Leary is busting down on young people for spending $28 on lunch when he charges $20 for a baked potato or fries in his very own restaurant.
He starts his kitchen staff at $14-$20 an hour in Toronto, Canada where the average cost of a one bedroom apartment is $1900 - $2300 a month.
How does anyone making $2400 a month before taxes in Toronto, Canada starting out washing dishes in his own restaurant afford that Kevin? They don’t.
Kevin is exactly the kind of problem with society today. People saying pull yourself up by your bootstraps. They can’t even afford boots.
Jack@Jackkk
Kevin O’Leary reveals he cuts his kids off after college “I set up a trust. It does not provide to anybody anything after they finish education” “From birth to the last day of education, full free ride. Everything paid for but if you drop out of school or you don’t make it to college, you’re cut off” “My son was doing really poorly in high school and said, ‘My friend has a trust. Tell me how mine works’. I said this trust pays till you finish high school but with your marks you’re probably never making it to college” “He said, ‘Yeah, but I don’t have to worry about it. I got a trust’. I said no, if you only make it through high school, I’m dead and you’re broke” “The horror in his eyes when he figured that out motivated him to get off his ass and use the next three years to milk that trust to get into college” “He got his marks up, became an engineer, worked for Tesla and got into both Harvard and MIT”

@looksalotlikeme A whole generation missed out on life skills

Why do boomers keep saying to pack lunch at home. Do they realize you still need to buy food to stock your home to be able to do that

Guys, we've reached "eating sandwiches is oppression" and "peanut butter & deli meat will kill you" levels of insanity all because some of you don't wanna PACK A FUCKING LUNCH.

@Readpotato @mcinthedc Sure, those mine workers hopped straight out of the openings of the mine and went straight to the diner. No dude. They packed - speaking as the daughter and grand daughter of miners from Leadville.
English
@mcinthedc People used to eat at restaurants while working in mines and sweatshops. In the depression era. Now people step out of work and can't afford to eat. He's offering a strawman to excuse the further decline in workers' ability to afford simply EATING.

I hate to say it, but if you can't pay off your credit cards in full every month, then Kevin is correct, you should drastically scale back discretionary spending.
Jack@Jackkk
Kevin O’Leary says people in credit card debt shouldn’t be buying coffee “If you have a credit card balance that goes into the next month and you’re spending $5 on a coffee, you’re crazy” “I’ll give you permission to buy a coffee for $5 if you have no balance on your credit card at the end of the month” “The reason I own all the credit card companies is people are paying 23% interest” “Why would you do that to yourself? I can’t make 23% in the market every year. Why would you let someone do that to you?” “So no, no coffees for you except the one you make at home for 19 cents unless you pay off your credit card”

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.
