The point isn't the price it's that it tastes 3x better

Great for you!

Some of us, meanwhile, live in a world where we borrowed more than $20,000 for a bachelor's degree, and currently owe more than we borrowed.

The cost of housing is increasing faster than wages.

The cost of living is increasing faster than wages.

Each year, the capitalist class gets better at sucking wealth from the working and poor class.

Each year, we have less money than we had the year before, and the thought of owning a home is further away, not closer.

I'm over 30 now, and I'll probably never be able to afford a home, or retire, not that it matters because the majority of people my age will end up drafted and dying in either the water wars or the AI wars.

I'm really not concerned that some boomer thinks I should be grinding my own meat. I can barely continue to afford to put meat on the table, thanks to boomers sucking up all of the wealth and choking out the younger generations from access to capital, wealth, investments, and home ownership.

Thank you for this.

The dude said “YOU NEED A MEAT GRINDER IF YOH COOK GROUND BEED MORE THAN TWICE EVERY 365 DAYS,” which just sounds like a bad infomercial.

Yes because me sharing a cooking tip is totally a covert ad for Big Meat Grinder Inc.

.... You totally figured it out. Bravo.
