I'd kill to make 70k a year LMFAO

It's wild that these elites are shitting on people spending $27 on a meal...

It's not 2017, that doesn't buy you much of a meal.

The cheapest food in my town I can think of is still a solid $8-9. And that is for a very unappetizing sandwich. A small upgrade to a chain "Jersey Mike's Sub" puts you back $11.15 before tax - no drink, no chips.

Detached from reality old dude strikes again. It's easy enough for a single meal at a fast food drive through to be $15 these days.

He's right, people should stop spending $28 on lunch and just eat the rich instead.

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.

Okay 🪄. Everyone who makes under 70k will never eat out again.

This eliminates more than half of the customer base of the restaurant industry, most of which promptly implodes. Millions lose their jobs. What's worse is that all that restaurant spending gets redirected towards grocery stores. Grocery stores move far more product with just a fraction of the workers and they will be damned before they hand out raises to share their new windfall profits. This drastically reduces the velocity of money in the economy and drags us into a sudden contraction.

The storefronts those restaurants occupied, the ones that used to be central meeting points for their communities, become urban blight. Those workers, too, stop being able to pay rent or buy much of anything else, which deals a collateral blow to residential real estate and every business that makes consumer goods. The collapse of the restaurant industry and the sudden blow to landlords of all varieties takes a large tax base with it, and state and local governments that rely on sales and property tax see an immediate budgetary shortfall.

These so-called titans of industry cannot see, will never see, that the "wasteful" and "unthrifty" spending they hate is utterly vital. Their distaste for the poors experiencing such luxuries as participating in simple consumption blinds them to the fact that that spending is the economy.

ETA: Instead of the rest of us tightening our belts even more, the wealthy need to spend a lot more. Fund a literacy program, hand a million dollars to a small electric car conversion company, drop a cool 10 million on urban infill, fuck, build a pyramid. Anything is better than sitting on your wealth doing nothing but chasing rent-seeking enterprises like stock buybacks and cloud infra.

lets just fucking kill him

Why is he wearing 2 watches?

Fuck, I wish I was making 70k a year how do I live in this fantasy world?

Mush brains with a watch on each wrist doesn't understand how inflation works... Shocker.

I hope someone kills Kevin O'Leary

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

People are having lunch?

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.

Enemy.

Last time I went to a food truck by my office a very basic lunch was $22. And that was before the machine assumed you should tip 18%.

From about a year ago. Huh, me thinks he has been to his island and/or ranch:

“If any of you cared about the victims, you wouldn’t drag these women who are in childbearing years now, some of them now having children, back into the limelight, back into the same story, to expose them again to this hideous outcome,” O’Leary said Tuesday. “These guys, they don’t want you to help them anymore.”

Ah yes, that famously cheap commodity of food, that has not jumped in price at all.

I mean good thing bread is cheap and there was no price fixing. I mean someone making $70,000 (above average) a year should not even think of eating more then gruel (not that that is cheap anymore) let alone at a restaurant. Not like the whole system is based on spending money, I am sure a business insider article will fix that though.

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.

People that can impulse buy outragiously expensive watches and cars shouldn't be lecturing the plebs on what to splurge on.

Especially not food. Food is one of last big joys of life for the commoners. Any splurge here is entirely valid.

These people need to stop getting platformed. If you're in such a position, please just enjoy your privilege in silence and leave us the fuck alone.

we should eat him for lunch and see what that costs

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

rotisserie chicken!
