Is there a place near where y'all work that lunch is still reasonably priced?
We didn’t have lunch today
So we are not talking about the fact, that he wears two watches???
If you eat 28 lunch 3 times a day every day it will be $30660 per year. $30660 a year will not make you not poor in most of America, so might as well eat well.
$30k extra would make a huge difference, though. I get the point you're trying to make, but your example is flawed. People shouldn't have to choose between eating well and not having to work until they die. A more effective way to re-frame this would be "Why does lunch cost $28?"
That is your retirement right there. Plug those numbers into a retirement calculator.
Was it worth it?
It's giving $10 banana vibes
This is the new avocado toast slur that boomers are gonna use to describe the younger generations lack of not being able to afford anything.
People are having lunch?
If I've read all the past posts from people in the USA correctly, it's not lunch that's expensive but the healthcare to stay alive.
This. I'm paying nearly $500 a month for shitty insurance that I literally can't afford the co-pays to actually use. I would literally just go uninsured if my employer weren't reimbursing me for the premium. It's functionally the same thing.
I haven't seen a doctor in over 20 years. I didn't have insurance for most of that time. I've finally had insurance in the last five years or so, but now I can't find a doctor my insurance covers that is taking new patients.
I work at a hospital that provides hospital based insurance for their employees. I paid more in copays to use their Physical Therapy staffed by PT students than it was to go to a local out of network PT place.
They still couldn't determine exactly how I injured my knee not how to help. This, in addition to all the steps it took to get to the Rehab referral aspect wiped out 2 years of my FSA
At this point, many people should just game the system to get a decent living.
2 bedroom apartments cost what a mortgage can cost for a 4 bedroom new house in some places. Got a very trustworthy friend with good credit? Pay them for "housekeeping" while the only thing they're cleaning out is the beer in the fridge while playing vidyagames. Let them show extra income and get a house. Be roommates. Have other roommates join in. Everyone hoard money while having cheap living in a nice new place.
Is that fraud? Idk but I'm in a nice new house and hoarding money.
… you’re sort of just describing a housing co-op.
Except that instead of it being a “particularly trustworthy friend” it’s a legal entity that everyone paying into has voting rights for.
Yeah most people agree $28 for lunch is insanely expensive.
But it doesn't stop quotes like this from being passed around as ragebait.
i want to jam his face into a waffle iron
That's a business plan I can get behind
rotisserie chicken!
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.
What we need to understand about O'Leary is that:
a) He likely has an incredibly tiny penis.
and b) He is absolutely desperate to be seen in the same circle as the likes of Musk, Zuck, Gates, Bezos, etc...
The reality is that his wealth pales incomparison to those guys, at roughly 150 million. To them, he's as much a pauper as you and i are. He's a nobody. And that fucking grinds at him that he's not a part of the cool kids club. It gnaws at his insides that, in reality, the people above him AND the people below him would literally not give a shit if he fucked off back to Canada and died in obscurity.
For all of their evil, the group that O'Leary desperately wants to be seen as equal to will at least leave some sort of Legacy. They'll at least be remembered in the history books, even if just a footnote about their shitty shenanigans.
O'Leary will be forgotten as soon as he's in the ground. Probably sooner.
That's why he's suddenly forcing himself into every fucking news program, and awards shows, and trying to strike deals for massive data centers that no one wants. Because he's a sad and pathetic old man afraid of being forgotten.
also, did I mention he has an incredibly tiny penis?
His penis has nothing to do with it. Stop obsessing over peoples genitals.
But if we don't obess over penises then how will people know how masculine we are compared to the people we don't like!!!!1!1!1!1!!1!!1one!1!

When you can't afford a vacation you may as well splurge on lunch now and then.
I've seen this argument from people before, with avocado toast and Starbucks and everything else, but no one seems to ask why lunch is $28 or blame the people charging $28 for lunch as part of the problem

The response is spot on!!! Kevin, the racist pedo loser, should be eating shit.
Oh no! Another asshole billionaire who is out of touch with reality. Whatever will we do?
Wait is $70,000 a year a low amount of money? That's an insane amount of money to be considered poor.
70k is basically living in the streets in a chunk of America while a few places it's living like a king.
But those places are quickly going away.

It's insulting that this guy says 70k like it's a low salary (for "kids" as he says). I make a quarter of that. I also know a lot more retired old people who never made close to that in their lifetime than ones who did make that much
And if I did make that much it would still feel insulting because I'm pretty sure most people making 70k can easily afford weekly $28 lunches...
Edit: Just saw that this motherfucker is wearing two expensive watches on the photo... absolutely repulsive person
A lot of older folks made more than 70k by a fair margin when you account for buying power and quality of life.
You have to adjust numbers for more then just inflation if you want a remotely accurate comparison.
Adjusted for inflation the average worker in the 80's and 90's made way more than 70k a yr. I made 60k in 2000, that's $120k today.

Its $28 because you rich assholes ruin everything
I'd kill to make 70k a year LMFAO
If you're a hit man, you should be making more than that. Unless you're trying to be a working class hitman, righting wrongs for the little guy, like Luigi.
Kevin O'Leary is a con artist, that's not like just my opinion
I went to Subway last night. You know, the 5-dollar footlong place.
A footlong sub was $12 (not the meal - just the sandwich).
McDonalds is charging 8 dollars for a breakfast muffin.
My rent has gone from 800 to 2000 since Covid.
I have to fill my tank 3 times a weeks, and right now that costs 50 bucks.
On top of that, I have to help my parents out because their pension didn't account for real-world inflation and their extremely comfy retirement turned out not to be nearly enough when the grocery bill doubled.
That 73k I make does less than the 30k I made back in 2016.
