PACK. A. SANDWICH.
>>537036186No.
>>537036186Wouldn't you be morbidly obese if you ate a slop fast food/restaurant lunch like that every day for five days a week? Those are all like 1,600 calorie meals.
>>537036186A cold soggy sandwich isn't as good. Everyone has a right to a hot meal.
>>537036186Why? I thought all the immigrants were supposed to increase our standard of living?
Stop eating lunch and maybe you can afford a home.
>>537036238yes
>>537036346>immigrants out of nowhereRent free.
>>537036186>The refined populist>eats slop
>>537036346turns out they just got all our food, healthcare and houseskeep voting and paying your taxes
>>537036186He's not wrong. The reason why this shit is so expensive in the first place is because people are still willing to pay for it. And they'll never be priced out because they are not saving or investing any money for they future
>>537036389how is california so lowhigh number of imported starving mexicans?
>>537036186>p-p-p-pull yourself by your bootstraps
>>5370362382-3 times a day
>>537036488So we should just starve? It costs a lot of time and money probably near the same to make the food at home.
>>537036186It's actually amazing how the richest people on the planet voluntarily make themselves poor and then keep repeating how it is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY to have a car, a burger and a free standing house with a yard.
>>537036186don't get fresh with me.
>>537036186>PACK. A. SANDWICH.I suggest a thick sliced hams. You can get a good one for around $9 and it will make about two dozen sandwiches.Honestly a surprisingly healthy option too. I lost weight the last time I was eating a sandwich a day.
>>537036186Kind of insane that they're still doubling down on the bootstraps rhetoric now that we've reached the point that a significant portion of working adults can't afford what should be cheap assembly line slop food. If you told someone in the 1950s that in 2026, working adults wouldn't be able to afford to buy a hamburger, they would flat out refuse to believe you.
Fat Jew lectures that you deserve less
>>537036238If you only eat it once a day you wouldnt gain any weight, but probably have too much sodium and not even nutrients.For a while my meals were a banana when I woke up, worked for 8 hours, then picked up some 1400 calorie meal from McDonalds on my way home, before it was so expensive, and I lost a shitload of weight. I was very unhealthy though and had pre-hypertension.
>>537036678Eating out isn't a necessity you fat retard
>>537036605This is classic boomer wisdom. Just go to code school and get a job coding. ez
>>537036285Microwave the sandwich.
>what you cant work 100 hours a week, come up with a never before thought of business idea, call up your 50 jewish investor "friends", and dig yourself out of that hole?>goy just pack a lunch, i know you work 12 hours a day with 2 hours of commuting and you also need to take care of a family, work out for 30m-1hr a day, clean your house, and grocery shop, but now you also have to spend 2-3 hours a week meal prepping to save pennies bro! just only get 4 hours of sleep a day and never spend a second on yourselfI hate boomers so fucking much.
>>537036728It's not, but it's a clear indication of the exponential loss of value the american dollar provides
>>537036728Completely missed the point and it's sad that you're so desperate to hate other people that you're buying into this nonsense. We should be working toward societies that are more prosperous, not less. Fast food has historically always been cheap filling food for the poor. This is not fine dining or even a nice restaurant; it's a sandwich assembly line where some of the lowest paid people in the country are pumping out cheap slop.We should not live in a society where people are forced to subside on the literal cheapest food they can possibly buy. A person working a full time job, literally any full time job, should be making enough money to eat out sometimes and the only people honestly arguing otherwise are scumbag boomers like >>537036605 who are so desperate to pull up the ladder behind them that they are telling people without a hint of shame that, in 2026, it's a good investment to spend $10k on "code school" so you can hop directly into a 6 figure coding job.
>>537036827no bro you don't get it just learn to code and you too can be making 6 figures with a small investment of $10k you made from your power washing side hustle
>>537036349>tips less than 20%boomers seriously think doing this and being "cheap" and "frugal" is how they have money, not the timing and opportunities they grew up with.
No thnaks caleb I'll just vote socialist to steal your money instead
>>537036186You can get one of those Taylor farms salad bags for $5 at Walmart or safeway. That bag can fill you up for a whole fucking day. I'd recommend the buffalo ranch, jalapeno popper, and the 'everything' flavored ones. Much cheaper and healthier than McDonalds goyslop.
>>537036186What is his obsession with sandwiches? Just cook some fucking food which wont slowly degrade your health.
why do they always act like it's the fast food itself that's the problem?
no one find it funny the only people struggling with the price of food are you know, American citizens and no illegals, I might be noticing again
>>537036827meal prepping is genuinely a massive time saver though2-3 hours each Sunday easily knocks out a whole week's worth of meals, breakfast lunch and dinner. I even try to do stuff a bit fancier since it doesn't take much extra time. normally I'm too lazy/work on other things and hate food so I just starve myself but the meal prepping helps
>>537037041How about you eat salads and give me all the extra money you saved so I can buy steaks instead?
>>537037129haven't noticed that, but if you replace food with housing I certainly have
>>537037039They'll never go after his money, they'll grab yours even if you don't have any.
>>537036605You can make 5-6 meal prep containers in the same time it takes to drive to your McSlop, wait for the order and then drive back home again. You're just a pathetic manchild and should seriously consider suicide.
>>537036186Yes, but also groceries are still insanely expensive. There is also something deeply dystopian about wagies being priced out of fast food like, at all ever. It's actually financially irresponsible to eat at a sit down restaurant once a month as someone with "gainful" employment. Women can just branch swing, what the fuck are men actually supposed to do?
>>537036971>Fast food has historically always been cheap filling food for the poorOnly in your obese faggy country, that's what you fail to understand
>>537036186Beef is fairly expensive, but pork and chicken are dirt cheap in the United States. Last week at Sam's Club I got a fat 8lb pork loin for $20 and 4 rotisserie chickens they were going to throw out for $2.50 each. $30 for 8lbs of tender boneless pork and 4 whole pre-cooked chickens. Sure those rotisserie chickens are overcooked, and a little on the dry side, but my dogs love them. Carve them up, freeze the meat. You can eat like a king for very cheap.Cooking isnt hard if you practice every day, Going shopping and getting all the supplies is definitely the hardest part, but you can do pick up for free at a lot of place now, many places also do delivery.We live in the easiest time for humans to ever live, what are we even talking about?
>>537036605>Being an entry-level codemonkey post-2022 This guy is a fucking retard, holy shit. Is everyone trying to peddle financial advice this out of touch with the current landscape of the job market?
>>537037344>it's ok that people have become so poor and food prices have become so high that a simple meal of the cheapest ground meat between two slices of cheap bread is now an unaffordable luxury
>>537037741I don't think he said that and yes the situation is concerning but I think you shouldn't give up none the less, even when the slop was cheap it is better to make your own food.
>>537036186How do people who are anti-food delivery justify their opinions being contrary to the free market? Record numbers of people are voluntarily using these services. Doesn't that prove they actually serve a purpose whose value is at least equal to what they are charging?
>>537037384>>537036186>>537036349Caleb isn't wrong here. He focuses on personal responsibility not on societal issues. Pack a sandwich
>>537037798> I think you shouldn't give up none the lessIt's not a problem for me personally, I can afford to eat well, but that doesn't mean I'm going to look down at poor people who can't afford fast food that's increased in price 400% over the past 5 years and tell them that they don't deserve to eat out.
>>537037674Yeah but you supported horrendous animal torture when you paid for that pork
>>537037578America's obesity problem (and for that matter obesity in even fatter and more sugar addicted countries like Mexico) is literally the fault of giant corporations who poison the population with toxic food. People have a responsibility to know what they are eating and make wise decisions of course, but at some point, after layer upon layer of deception you have to hold the perpetrators accountable. Shopping for groceries or eating in a restaurant shouldn't be a minefield of dodging toxic crap.>>537037965We're at a point where the financial advice we're pedaling to the youth is "opt out of every part of society and subsist on staples". This isn't wisdom, it's surrender to an economy wide scamming. Isn't distribution of labor supposed to reduce costs? If so why is assembly-line prepared food (restaurants) more expensive that manual preparation? Food of all types should just be cheaper. This isn't even a temporary prescription, because jobs/pay/social mobility have stagnated. When it comes to fast food in particular, nobody questions the fact that fast food is (correctly) derided as low quality crap while simultaneously costs more that healthy food. Responsibility is great, but it isn't a cure for every aspect of the economy being rigged and every position of economic power being controlled by psychopaths, the majority of whom are boomers.
>everyone starts packing home lunch>restaurants cut staff>everyone gets poorer
>>537037209well the housing is undeniable, sadly I've noticed some of these illegal spics that have been here for a few years now own middle class homes. They let them get so embedded for so long, there's no way to ever really send them all back. Pretty fucked up
also ever since spics started exploding around here 10+ years ago, I've never seen a homeless one. Seen plenty of disenfranchised fucked up homeless Americans though
>>537036670Top round isn't bad either. London broil and keep it red in the middle or cook it even on a grill after marinating for a day
>>537037153It is good, but it should still be the least of someone's worries. It should be like a nice little treat for yourself giving yourself a bit more free time during the week, but when your entire life is 65% work, 10% getting from point a to point b, and 25% sleep I never want to hear some faggot boomer in the inner kike investor circle or some youtuber who got lucky with a 1/1,000,000 chance to tell me I just need to pack food and meal prep and all my worries will just vanish. I'd rather just starve.
>>537038191>noooooo fast food must be cheap for the poor people>giant corporations are literally poisoning the population with toxic foodkek
>>537038430>I never want to hear some faggot boomer in the inner kike investor circle or some youtuber who got lucky with a 1/1,000,000 chance to tell me I just need to pack food and meal prep and all my worries will just vanish. I'd rather just starve.This is the main reason people continue to spend at restaurants even in the current economy. The idea that the economy is so bad that the money you can save by meal prepping becomes financially impactful simply means the economy is fucked to begin with. Nobody thinks it's worth trying to weather an unweatherable economic storm ultimately outside their control. They can't stop they titanic from sinking, so why bother rearranging the deck chairs? 2001, 2008, covid, and now the Epstein revelations have demonstrated to the young that their choices don't matter and they might as well continue to party.
>>537038568I clearly argued that food should be healthy and those responsible for poisoning it stopped. You're either stupid or pretending to misunderstand me.
>>537037038Even if it's true that they grew up in a post war boom, they were genuinely taught to be frugal by generations that went through the great depression. We've gone through even worse recessions multiple times in our life and people still spend like it's the early 2000s. At some point, you actually do have to give up a thing or two and start spending less money if you don't want to lose all of it.
>>537036186Better off making a sandwich here, otherwise you buy food prepared poorly by a poo or muhamedan goatfucker.
>>537036605That's not true at all. Learn to cook you useless fucks.
>>537036186>1230 caloriesDo Americans really?
don't eat shit food?
>>537038869>At some point, you actually do have to give up a thing or two and start spending less money if you don't want to lose all of it.There is no amount of budgeting that can buy a decent life in the USA today. At best you might go from having multiple housemates to having a 1 bedroom apartment. None of these frugality faggots have an answer to "and then what?" You get roommates, live off oatmeal, spend on nothing but basic phone service... and then what? Your savings will never amount to enough to buy social mobility, let alone an actual house, and you can no longer "just do this until you get a better job"."Show me the incentives and I'll show you the outcome". There is simply no incentive for frugality, because there is no payoff.
>>537036557Hispanics (California and Florida) are genetically superior to muttoid-jew-anglos. Now go support Pissrael
>>5370362381600 calories isn't shit for anyone who actually works.I burn 8,000 calories a day.
>>537037741pasta and chicken is dirt cheap you fucking bum
>>537039005that's a small meal for them
>>537039869>I burn 8,000 calories a day.lmao no you don't you fat retard
Businesses have discovered they can just cater to boomers who have watched their investments grow 10X or millenials who work 60 hours a week and don't have any time. Lower volume but higher profit margin
>>537038193That would only be a concern if these places were still hiring local teenagers or kids fresh out of collegeEvery fast food place I've been to over here has like 60-70% foreigners working there. It might actually send some of these fuckers home if fast food places started struggling
>>537039869Gooning doesn't burn that much calories, come on.
>>537036186I agree you should pack your lunch but lets not bury our heads and the sand and pretend inflation isn't out of control. Decent sliced turkey is like $15 per pound now and even the cheapo processed crap is close to $7 a pound, its outrageous.
>>537041350Boomers working at a grocery store had the equivalent saving power that 100k+ 2026 salaries afford with their cost of living with a firm handshake. Back when all stocks were cheap like the S&P 500, houses were dirt cheap too.For someone to save close to a quarter million dollars in 2026 currently it would take 25 years with most salaries. You would need 500k minimum to even get ahead in america, to own stocks to where you can even have a future.
>>5370362381600 calories is not really an unreasonable lunch for a 6' man who works a physically demanding job like construction. Just depends on how active they are.
>>537036186A decent number of people get paid $30 an hour now. Fast food is now cheaper for me, in 2015 I would have considered $15 for a nice burger to be a ludicrous waste of money.>>537041350If its a ripoff simply don't buy it. I have seen some things come down in price because of competition.
>>537041699The median wage in america is 63k but it was 50k USD 3 years ago and it still counts older people who have degrees. It doesnt count inflation, cost of food and rising costs and the fact that young people disproportionately have shitty jobs because they are discriminated against and companies don't want to hire new people.The average zoomie or someone whos young in america without a high school degree is actually making 30k a year after taxes.
>>537041973Meant to say without a college degree but even if you have a degree it doesnt do shit, but even with a high school degree you cant break the 45k/year barrier, and rent and food makes it feel like you're making 20k a year.Meanwhile boomers have 2 million in their retirement brokerage account, and they are earning thousands per month doing nothing plus social security.
