Wait are you telling me a chicken dinner and juice is more attainable than a home?? Could that be why?

There’s a reason young people are travelling and using their savings on entertainment, we know we will never own. Not until we take housing by force, so what’s the point of saving? I can’t even save enough to keep up with interest. So yeah when I’m old I’ll be poor and the government will have to deal with me

Reading the actual article, the lunacy and delusion is real. You don't even get three paragraphs in and they're using a sales engineer's thoughts to represent young people as a whole.

GenZ complains about having so much debt and not enough income but they keep buying food! How can they expect to succeed when they waste their money so frivolously?!

..... That's what this headline reads like to me. How dare you buy food with the money you should be spending on the interest you owe to the owners of the country.

It’s depressing just how quickly and comprehensively Jeff Bezos has managed to destroy the WSJ. It used to be respected internationally, now it’s just a grubby little clickfarm.

"Splurging“ on the absolute cheapest most preservative laiden meat available, cheapeer than fucking Spam, and Gut healthy jucis because they can't afford to go to a doctor.

Fucking ghouls.

Headline in two years: Gen Z'ers are splurging on food instead of giving their money to the rich.

Gen Z and millennials are splurging on breathing air.

"GenZ struggling to survive in the lower levels of MegaCity5. Their blood is too low in iron to keep the immortal rich alive."

GenZ not eating nutritious meals is the leading cause of rejection for Soylent processing.

Yeah that might be the most accurate to the blaming tone these kinds of articles write with and to what they will take from us.

Just need to jazz it up with some homemade slang to hide the sad bits and the immortal rich part.

"GenZ struggling in well stocked MegaCity5; "Fecal-de-Cal" diet blamed for lack of macro nutrients during their mandatory weekly Blood-Up donations."

You mean the rotisserie chickens that are $5-6, compared to lunch meat being at 10-12/lb? Splurging on that rotisserie chicken purchase?

There is a reason we think boomers are out of touch.

They bought houses with high school diplomas for 6 walnuts. Why can't you kids do the same?

[–] FrChazzz@lemmus.org 11 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

That rotisserie chicken that I can stretch into like three to five meals, including making broth? That one?

[–] TheOakTree@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 hours ago

Good ol' rotisserie chicken, rice, n beans. Sauce of choice. A legendary combination.
