'Grandma doesn't need slippers': Fox News slammed over Christmas money-saving tip

  So, 5 years ago, Repubs on Fox said during COVID that grandma should be left to succumb to illness for the sake of the economy. And now they’re saying don’t buy your grandma anything for Christmas this year because of the economy.

  Don’t these morons realize that the elderly are pretty much their primary viewing audience?

      Buy her just a pair of slippers. Make the wrapping really extravagant. Act indignant when she isn’t impressed.

    It’s funny because all of the people they vote into office are elderly.

  America puts the economy above everything else. To tell Americans to not spend money is admitting we’re not doing well. I’m surprised they let this air.

  She’s just afraid, because gamgam is going to beat her with those slippers.

  The actual quote is a lot more tame than “fuck grandma”.

  “Budget, budget, budget,” Warshaw said. “You need a plan. Also, remember, adults don’t need gifts, OK.

  “Focus on the people in your life who are aged three to 18. Grandma doesn’t need slippers. If they don’t live by you, don’t get them a gift. Now’s not the time to spend and break the bank sending packages across the country.”

  I agree with all this. Even more, I’d add to focus on smaller, handmade gifts for kids. Fuck the American consumeristic holiday mindset. I’ve not given a single gift more than $20 since I was a teenager and I don’t think I’ve received one (certainly not asked for one) in that same time. It’s dumb, wasteful, guilting, is only perpetuated to make profit for the corporations, and no, Grandma probably doesn’t actually need slippers.
