It’s wild that these elites are shitting on people spending $27 on a meal… It’s not 2017, that doesn’t buy you much of a meal. The cheapest food in my town I can think of is still a solid $8-9. And that is for a very unappetizing sandwich. A small upgrade to a chain “Jersey Mike’s Sub” puts you back $11.15 before tax - no drink, no chips.

Isn’t he the Boston Pizza dude? How much is a BP lunch? Oh, plus tip…

I mean… if you spend $28 everyday on lunch, that’s $7000 a year, or 10% of your gross income, which is actually a huge amount of money to spend on lunch.

Last time I went to a food truck by my office a very basic lunch was $22. And that was before the machine assumed you should tip 18%.

From about a year ago. Huh, me thinks he has been to his island and/or ranch: “If any of you cared about the victims, you wouldn’t drag these women who are in childbearing years now, some of them now having children, back into the limelight, back into the same story, to expose them again to this hideous outcome,” O’Leary said Tuesday. “These guys, they don’t want you to help them anymore.” thedailybeast.com/maga-shark-tank-star-kevin-olea…

Really. There needs to be fear engrained into these oligarchs. They need to fear the working man for good reason. All I takes is one person with a lighter to ruin his world.

Stupid indeed. Instead of paying $28 for lunch, they should just eat the rich.

$70,000 is a lot more than the median individual income. You can probably afford to spend a bit on lunch if you’re single and making that amount.

A combo meal at McDonald’s is almost $20 now… $28 isn’t unreasonable these days.

Yeah most people agree $28 for lunch is insanely expensive. But it doesn’t stop quotes like this from being passed around as ragebait.

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.

Sure, if I go out to eat, I might splurge a little… but the 20 to 25 bucks once every two months or so really aren’t making a difference. I’m assuming this guy goes out for lunch every day, in which case, 28 bucks each would be a little over 10k, so I’d get his argument. Of course, he’s almost certainly far removed from the realities of life for us. For instance, we don’t supplement our income by being a mouthpiece for parasites. And I don’t make 70k either
