Definitely has nothing to do with sky-rocketing food prices in our capitalist hellscape.
Looking for the original link still.....

Maybe because the price of groceries and rent has gone up so much that there’s nothing left for anything else? I thought when the price of foods starts going up, that’s when societies typically start seeing riots as people are basically at the end of their rope at that point.
Man they really tried telling us that rent or mortgage should only be 30% of your monthly income if you have a really nice place and then turned around and got confused that we are complaining that even if you make $100,000 in most cities that still puts rent near 50% of your take home paycheck.
And now food is taking up more of the rest of a paycheck. But hey we just complain to much as the younger generations I guess because there is never anything to fix. It's all perfect except for brown people or lesbians or some shit.
But the prices aren't impossible yet and people aren't starving just not eating well.
