Stop buying everything. Trade shit. Food? Ok, buy that and nothing else. Let it all burn.

I try to sell my excess produce below grocery store pricing, but people at the meet ups always tell me how they dont have enough money or got no money, if I can give it to them for free.
Now I just give it to a food bank

Acquire food from supermarkets and then leave. They just leave it sitting around all over the place, in there!

Eh, read the first little bit of the article, and bailed as soon as she was noted as saying stuff along the lines of “back then it was harder, because there were fewer desirable areas people wanted to live!”.
In other words, back then you had cheaper options in the other areas, which have since become unaffordable for starter homes. Nowadays you gotta move out to the middle of nowhere, where there’re no jobs.
So idiot/detached CEO confirmed from my pov, her appearance at least matches her apparent personality.

As always there is something in german to respond to this (especially to this thumbnail):
„Du hast ein Gesicht wie ein Paar Latschen: Reintreten und wohlfühlen!“
Roughly translated to:
‚You have a face like a pair of slippers: step in and feel comfortable!‘ but with „reintreten“, here: ‚step in‘, primeraly meaning ‚to kick in‘.

I haven’t had a drip of Starbucks coffee in my entire life
TheRedSpade@lemmy.world 1 month ago
It’s ok for the drinks they make where coffee is just one of several flavors. It’s trash on its own though.

The idea that spending on coffee or avocado toast or whatever single food/drink item is causing a widespread drop in home ownership is idiotic enough, but this absolute moron managed to pick something with hard evidence of declining sales.

This is literally a Starbucks ad for boomers.

I guess I’d believe this if all the hard data didn’t prove it wrong.
Maybe I should become a conservative so I don’t have to bother with hard data anymore.

I did, still poor. I get half my meals for free (food service) still poor. I split rent with 4 other people to the point where my bills are the lowest they’ve ever been in my life, still poor. Still poor, still poor and not making enough and everything keeps getting more expensive.

I don’t care who the fuck she is or what the fuck she says or why anybody is quoting her. Remove her from my oxygen source.

Boomers were buying houses 45 years ago. Buy 30 years ago they were on their third or fourth move. I think the struggle of buying a $35,000 house on an annual $12k salary was a little different than the fantasy of buying a $500k house on a $36k salary.

Moron, return to the 1950’s and 60’s, because that was the height of US consumer buying power.

Stop buying Starbucks coffee
They already did lmao, my old town was cheering because two Starbucks locations went out of business and got replaced by local cafes lol.
Although tbf that was in SE Michigan which exploded in the cafe business after Qawah house started a chain reaction by accident.

By boomer standards I’m lower middle class as an engineer. I could theoretically afford a kid or two and a small house, and with two incomes we could even do that while having occasional vacations and retirement savings. You know, the sort of life that so long as you didn’t really fuck up you could afford as a boomer, but several years younger than me as well.

Yeah, sure, it’s all about individual success, nevermind the actual population level trends, it’s all on you to figure out some way to afford your life.

30 years ago??? in 1995. That was a great market and boomers bought way before that.
