Presumably "a house costs more than a chicken."
My dad has been cheap his entire life, and now survives almost entirely on rotisserie chicken.

In other news I'm learning depression era meals to make to save money. Made a fancied up Hoover Stew last week. It had a sausage in it instead of hot dog.

Oh, you fuckers!!
Is this why I can't get any rotisserie chickens at Market Basket anymore?
FUCK!!
LOL!
(I recently discovered avocado toast.. it's quite nice! Job well done.)
Ok, Bezos
They are all drowning in dept that is expensive for no fucking reason, that they have because they trusted you when you told them that this is a best investment that they can ever make.
Their biggest mistake was trusting in you ability to crate and maintain the system that can benefits anyone else than you.
You failed them. Go away.
Don't just go away, be forgotten entirely. Die your second death shortly after your first one. If we survive long enough I want history books to say the Silent Generation but especially the Boomers were the worst generations to have lived. That they took every scrap for themselves and would not share a dime to those struggling. That their entire life should be considered a sham and shamed.
Well there we have another piece of excellent Wall Street Journal journalism
For $5 I could get a 3 ish pound bird, eat good for two days and boil whatever I don't eat with a $1 bag of mirapoux and salt, and have the best rice you've ever had for a fucking week! So assuming generously the rice cost $1.5, then I am making essentially 7 or more meals for $7.50.
But yeah, we splurging....
Look at this fancy rice they're eating.
"Man, however, is not a being whose exclusive purpose in life is eating, drinking, and providing a shelter for himself. As soon as his material wants are satisfied, other needs, of an artistic character, will thrust themselves forward the more ardently. However, if there's some rotisserie chicken available, you absolutely should grab that immediately, because that's a rare treat."
- Peter Kropotkin: The Conquest of Bread, ch. 9
" Man shall not live by bread alone, but if you grab some of that damn good rotisserie chicken, mm-mmm, that's some good stuff." Jesus, Matthew 4:4
