Bill Maher pulls the numbers on whether Gen Z is really suffering an affordability crisis.

He starts with the $20 burrito, then compares their net worth to previous generations. The numbers are staggering.

MAHER: “Have you heard about Burrito Gate? ... A student had commented... a burrito shouldn’t cost $20."

“It shouldn’t cost $20 because it doesn’t. It costs $20 because this kid factored in somebody bringing it to him in an Uber.”

[Audience groans]

“You can get one for $2, and you could buy it in the supermarket. And somebody said they feed a family of eight on $20 by buying ingredients like we used to do.”

“This is from the Fed. Okay, two-thirds of Americans consider groceries to be unaffordable. Maybe they are, but wages rose in the last decade, including the pandemic, 46%. Food prices rose 34%. So wages outpaced them by the numbers."

“What we spend on food at the beginning of the last century, it was 42% of the budget, and then you go through the years, 1965, it was down to 15%. Now it’s under 10%, but including eating out more."

“Also, Gen Z, I never realized this until people started writing about it. As they reach their late 20s now, they’re getting much richer than Gen X was. Millennials and Gen Z at age 30, their net worth is around $118,000."

“Gen X’s was $53,000, like half of that. But Gen X never complained. You gotta love Gen X. They are the quietest f*cking church mice.”

SIDE NOTE: I will say that housing and rent prices are too damn high. But that also doesn't discount the fact that kids these days are way too entitled and think they deserve to have food delivered AND have it be affordable. If you want convenience, it's gonna cost you. Don't complain when you're on a budget and too lazy to make the burrito yourself for 1/10th the price.

🚨 WOW. This brave Christian migrant from Iran walked up and WENT BERSERK on the proposed Islamic Center in McKinney, TX — straight to the council's face

The whole building ERUPTED after his dire warning:

"I'm a Sharia law survivor from Iran."

"I'm TELLING YOU, this is a BAD idea and you're going to REGRET not listening to people like us who lived under Sharia law!"

"I'm here to tell you this is a DANGEROUS ideology you're allowing in your country. Every country that is Islamic now, it used to be a Christian country and we were soft Christians."

"And we allowed these people to come in, bring their Sharia law into our countries and slowly k*ll us off left and right!"

"Let me make it very clear to you. Christianity is a personal relationship with God...Islam is Sharia law. Religion and state, which is not even compatible with the American thing and when these people will lie to you, to manipulate you."

"Because whenever Islam is little, they will lie to you and tell you they come in peace. This is level one!"

"Level two is what's happening in UK right now, where you have two-tier policing, where you have the blasphemy laws, Islamophobia, racism, all this nonsense that they talk about."

"Any time you criticize Islam, they will use the race card, but every country has this disgusting ideology inside their country, including my own country, Iran, Russia, Islamophobia is another made up bullsh*t because they don't want you to criticize their death cult!"

"If you question that disgusting book, they're get k*lled over it, just like my friends were apostates imprisoned or dead right now in Iran!"

HE NAILED IT!!!

@thegarybrecka No. Just use high quality butter. Nothing in a bottle is reliable.

[OnADirtRd @OnADirtRd]

@VilNateDog @Mark_Sisson Funding, that is a valid question.

[OnADirtRd @OnADirtRd]

This always happens: A food company based on sound practices and using quality ingredients sells to one of the big industrial players. Then the cost cutting begins. Quality and purity decrease. Back in the day, us blundering consumers kept buying the product based on an outdated reputation. No more! Not with Primal Kitchen. Not with a list of other brand names. I sure don’t blame you for selling your company, Mark. You had such amazing success with your creation. Awesome! But once Primal Kitchen sold to Kraft Heinz, I was done. I’m not buying Big Food’s BS - I don’t care what name/logo is on the bottle.

This is insane.

Footage of Chad Williams, the Idaho In-N-Out shooter at the location on the day it all happened.

The video shows how fast everything turned from a normal Saturday lunch into chaos. What stands out isn’t just the horror, it’s the people who didn’t freeze.

Jordan Salinas and the off-duty officer returned fire and helped push him away from the restaurant. Those actions almost certainly saved lives. Police still have no motive. Williams acted alone. Three families are burying their people, seven others are recovering, and a whole community in Idaho is left trying to process this.

Footage like this forces the question every time: how do ordinary people keep showing up with courage when seconds matter?

What’s your take after seeing the clips?

The last dream bender😂

[Louis Montoya @montoyalouis1]

16 years old. First season as a lifeguard.

Waves repeatedly slamming him. Grown men getting knocked back and retreating.

And this kid locks onto that 10-year-old with a death grip and refuses to let go until the boy is safe.

No experience. No excuses. Just pure courage and resolve under pressure.

This is what it looks like when character shows up.

Respect, young man. 🇺🇸

[Chicks On The Right @chicksonright]

I genuinely feel sorry for people, my own kid included, who didn’t get to grow up in this time period.
