It's because people like him exist that we are poor.

Him and his generation took everything and talking high and mighty just because they had first dibs on everything before we got a chance to have any kind of decent life.

Nothing he says should be taken seriously and he should be another example of why the rich need to be removed from existence.

I'd kill to make 70k a year LMFAO

If you're a hit man, you should be making more than that. Unless you're trying to be a working class hitman, righting wrongs for the little guy, like Luigi.

A combo meal at McDonald's is almost $20 now... $28 isn't unreasonable these days.

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.

What we need to understand about O'Leary is that:

a) He likely has 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?

His penis has nothing to do with it. Stop obsessing over peoples genitals.

The same POS who forces people to go back to the office in high rent areas where restaurants have hostage customers.

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

[–] Magnum@infosec.pub 8 points 1 month ago

So we are not talking about the fact, that he wears two watches???

[–] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

He knows what he's talking about. He's an expert on Zoomers. He knows that generation intimately thanks to his connection with Epstein.

i had half a $1.00 burrito and leftover popcorn from the farm store (it was free. we were there buying some stuff for the garden).

Is this an American thing, $28 for lunch doesn’t sound that outrageous today as a Canadian (it’s like $20 USD)

....maybe cause lunch costs that much now 🙃

[–] ShankShill@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

Kevin O'Leary is a con artist, that's not like just my opinion

[–] Nalivai@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (7 children)

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.

I get drive through or take out for lunch every day, but it's not to waste money. It's so I have an airtight reason/excuse to get the FUCK out of this place for a period of time every day.

It's the one thing keeping me from being on the front page of the local paper.

[–] WolfmanEightySix@piefed.social 6 points 1 month ago

That’s just over 20 quid…my partner makes my lunch and it costs about a fiver a week. Who can afford over a 100 quid a week on lunch?

[–] CyLith@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I mean.... if you spend $28 everyday on lunch, that's $7000 a year, or 10% of your gross income if you make $70k, which is actually a huge amount of money to spend on lunch.

[–] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

I think the numbers here are rhetorical.

Isn't he the Boston Pizza dude?
How much is a BP lunch?

30 dollars for a lunch?

I dont even spend 30 dollars, total, for a week of lunches and dinners. I aint one of them youthes, though.

[–] galacticboy2009@lemmy.today 6 points 1 month ago

Yeah most people agree $28 for lunch is insanely expensive.

But it doesn't stop quotes like this from being passed around as ragebait.
