Damn it’s almost like you genxers and boomers should have been wanting for your kids and grandkids to NOT HAVE to eat ramen as their turns in adulthood came to pass

2 generations in a row that despise their progeny and wish for them to experience any and every hardship they did

@Jason_Catholic 28¢!!!!! I remember when kids would cheat the system for food pantry drives at school by bringing in like 5 of these boxes and getting the sticker or whatever we would get for bringing in the most. “Woah 5 cans of great value soup good job 👍 …I brought in over 100 servings 😏”

[G_dubs @G_dubs76]

If you are a proud GenXer who is telling young people (including millennials with families in their 30’s and 40’s) that they are economically irresponsible because they are complaining about the cost of food and groceries, and to just eat Ramen “cuz we did by-golly” …UR A BOOMER

“The market doesn’t care what you think something “should” cost.”

Funny how this doesn’t apply to neocons complaining about the cost of labor and worker shortages. Then their free market principles conveniently no longer apply.

When it’s regular Americans concerned with grocery prices, they say “stop whining.”

When it’s their donors complaining about labor costs, they help manipulate the market with mass immigration to keep costs down.

[G_dubs @G_dubs76]

@DejahThoris47 @ksorbs Ok boomer. I remember when ramen was 8¢ a pack. Now it’s 28¢ Grocery prices HAVE risen OVER 100% and that is the point all of you keep missing. Ask your doctor to up your blood pressure medication and go drink water from a hose instead of getting apoplectic over genuine concerns.

Living standards in America should have risen 10 times over since 1950. Think of the technology then vs now. Instead our elite made every American worker compete with 8 billion third-worlders by offshoring all manufacturing to China, outsourcing all IT to India, and importing the entire population of South and Central America. And so big surprise: The rest of the world saw their living standards rise 1000% while yours went down. All so that the richest 1% of Americans from the richest generation in history could die just a little richer before it all comes crashing down and communists kill their grandkids.

@UtahFlatRanger If we bought “Grass-fed Organic Vacuum sealed meat” (because vacuum sealed doesn’t rot like plastic) like the Babylon fool bought at Aldi and everything else was store brand cheap varieties this is what a “burrito night” would cost in a relatively cheap cost of living area of TX.

@UtahFlatRanger In the middle of Covidtide I would load up my grocery cart for me and my pregnant wife (who honestly only ate Campbell soup because of severe nausea for most of her pregnancy) bc I wanted to stock up our pantries and cook at home. About $200 for 1.5 weeks of groceries.

[G_dubs @G_dubs76]

@UtahFlatRanger Now a half cart of groceries costs about $250 and barely lasts us a week and my little kids eat like birds. Also meat from grocery stores goes bad in the fridge literally on the day of sell by and we buy that in bulk once a month so that doesn’t even factor into the $250

[Oilfield Rando @Oilfield_Rando]

Sorry Mr. American worker but I guess you just have just eat ramen until you can afford to pay for your burritos.

Yes, I know that neighborhood full of resettled Afghans pays zero dollars for their burritos, but that’s irrelevant, we’re a nation of immigrants, you see.

If I hear another Boomer conservative bitching about Gen Z ordering DoorDash I’m going to become a communist. It’s true their grandparents always cooked homemade meals. But that’s because grandma stayed at home and grandpa had a union job and nobody could reach him after 5. They had a house with a full kitchen and 3 kids by 25. Meanwhile half of Gen Z men are forced to compete with the entire population of South America for some 12 hour long shift HVAC job that barely pays the rent. They’re 30 and nobody cooks for them because they can’t find any women who’ll marry them when they can’t even afford a starter home in the ghetto. The other half of Gen Z men are busting their ass competing with the entire populations of India and China for some 70 hour a week powerpoint job that asks them for updates on the slides at 3AM. They can’t find anyone to cook for them either, because every women around them is convinced that being a mother and cooking for a man is beneath them because they’re gonna save the world when they become VP of Marketing at MegaCorp in 20 years.

@MartyTheElder @EndymionYT This is like some kind of twisted version of Chesterton’s Fence wherein the woke loony leftists assume whatever was done before MUST have been sexist and racist so they are obligated to “fix” everything without looking into why it was done in the first place.

@normposter My Greek Professor in college did the Greek voiceover for Homer. Shout out to Dr Sweet

[G_dubs @G_dubs76]

@PageauJonathan Do they show the sack of Troy in the movie? The Aeneid version of Sinon is much more compelling than whatever she did on the beach. Aeneas went on and on about the sob story that Sinon sold them to get Priam to lower his guard. The Trojans wouldn’t need to be told “common gods”

@EricRSammons Bunch of whiners in the replies here. Blackpilling will never win over hearts and minds. I’m praying for Pope Leo too! Every night, by name, with my young kids. We drive an hour to an ICKSP TLM and OFTEN go to the nearby diocesan mass. Stop blackpilling and love your pope.

[G_dubs @G_dubs76]

@WalkingHymnal Yall really think us traditionalists have bargaining power in the Church to reject a (HYPOTHETICAL) offer for a solution, and instead demand that the Pope give us what we want. A return to SP would be amazing; but, freaking out over a post wishing for a good solution is cringe.

[G_dubs @G_dubs76]

@Tawadros15 @PhilJC2 They should pay attention to the Epistle from Quinquagesima Sunday:
“If I speak with the tonguess of men, and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And if I should have prophecy and should know all mysteries, and all knowledge…”

“Fools! Your modernist approved Ecclesia Dei TLMs, which I remind you puts you in league with apostates, will go away if we don’t get our new bishops! By flouting the direct command of the leader of the modernist church we ensure your masses continue!”
