The same POS who forces people to go back to the office in high rent areas where restaurants have hostage customers.
A combo meal at McDonald's is almost $20 now... $28 isn't unreasonable these days.

The response is spot on!!! Kevin, the racist pedo loser, should be eating shit.
Last week I had some $15 curry to celebrate getting a new job. I think that's the most expensive meal I've had all year

gen z is poor because we havent seized the means of production yet. too busy vaping and playing roblox 😔😔😔
If I get the 2 for $6 breakfast sandwich deal at tim hortons, and an iced cap, it comes to about $11. How am I supposed to get an iced cap and sandwiches cheaper than that? And tim hortons isn't exactly the lap of luxury. I only do this maybe once a week as my TGIF treat. 28 dollars for lunch is a tad expensive given current prices but it's not gross excess in the current economy. It's just not what I'm able to afford. Why is this politician acting like it's some capital sin? It's just the economy he helped create. He's the problem here, not us.

Y'know, it'd be really funny if Utah of all places went 2 - 0 with these fascist losers.
Is this an American thing, $28 for lunch doesn’t sound that outrageous today as a Canadian (it’s like $20 USD)

I've had to go to 100% home cooking, burning most of any recreational family time I have left.
Just a few years ago, we'd eat out a couple times a week, come home and play board games. Any time we were out for a hot second, we wouldn't think twice about grabbing dinner.
Fast food used to have lines to the street, mc donalds was so bad they installed second drive through speakers.
Not to say there's not a fuckton of greed driving this, but if subway is seeing 50% decline in patronage, $5->$12 is just a deathspiral heading for the drain.
I don't know how this all ever unwinds. Was that our golden age?

Yes, it was. My mother was born in 1939, just before the war. She grew up in the prosperous post-war period, and was married by the end of the fifties, then her and my dad had a great life for the next 60+ years. Jobs were easy to get, prices were low, and we lived on one income until us boys were old enough to be on our own, and my mom got a job out of boredom, and to pay the college bills without a loan. My Dad passed in 2020, a diehard Republican who DESPISED Trump and MAGA, saw right through them instantly, and voted a straight Democratic ticket for the first time in his life, in his last election.
My Mom also hates Trump and MAGA, and worries about the lives of her grandchildren and great grandchildren on a way that NOBODY did even 10 years ago. I have told her that she is lucky to have lived when she did. It seems to have been the very best time for white, middle class Americans in American history, and the only reason it is going away is because the Sociopathic Oligarchs have deliberately taken it from us because they want it for themselves, and they don't care how bad it gets for the rest of us.
Sure, if I go out to eat, I might splurge a little... but the 20 to 25 bucks once every two months or so really aren't making a difference.
I'm assuming this guy goes out for lunch every day, in which case, 28 bucks each would be a little over 10k, so I'd get his argument. Of course, he's almost certainly far removed from the realities of life for us. For instance, we don't supplement our income by being a mouthpiece for parasites.
And I don't make 70k either
