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 nearby 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.

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!

[–] potpotato@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

But dumpster diving being a legit source of food is fucked up.

Oh, look. Another out-of-touch moron, with a useless opinion.

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‘.

This is literally a Starbucks ad for boomers.

"900 corporate staffers were also laid off as part of a $1 billion restructuring following six straight quarters of sales decline.".

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.

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.

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 and I can just let an almost deceased obese felon rapist tell me what to think.

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.

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

What could a house cost? $10?

I love whatever program it is that is job-placing these otherwise unemployable idiots.

We should make an initiative where we collect donations and sends tons of maneur to theresidencies of rich people.

ignorant cunt

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.

Okay

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.
