The Free Press run by Bari Weiss and owned by Larry Ellison is promoting the surveillance state? I'm shocked! Why would they do that?

Them: If we don't stop Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, our Western democratic values are at risk

The Western democratic values:

Have you ever considered skipping the $20 burrito and buying ramen instead so you can save the rest towards another $5 million Patriot missile for Ukraine?

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

This is well said, and gets to the heart of the matter

“The tariffs have made us rich.”

By “us,” he means Howard Lutnick and himself.

Hey Iran is not going to bomb itself

[An0maly @LegendaryEnergy]

Have you tried making $20 burritos, watching Zionist plants on television and supporting the Lindsey Graham war Trump campaigned against starting?

[Luke Rudkowski @Lukewearechange]

The people don’t want this war
Only politicians do

[Auron MacIntyre @AuronMacintyre]

One reason people may not have money for burritos is that WE ARE LITERALLY STILL PAYING THE SALRIES OF RETIRED UKRAINIAN GOVERMENT OFFICIALS

[Cenk Uygur @cenkuygur]

According to Hegseth, our munitions are not depleted at all! Also, we have an “urgent, necessary” need to refill the military’s stockpiles and that’s why he needs $67 billion right now!!

So, which one is it? These guys really suck at lying.

A lot of commentators and people in media and podcasters and politicians have never actually had to worry about how they would afford groceries. They've never had an overdrawn checking account. They've never been hassled by a landlord because their rent is overdo. They've never had their cell service cut off because they couldn't pay it. They've never had to put two gallons in their tank because they couldn't afford to fill it all the way up. They've never had a car break down because they couldn't afford to take it to the mechanic. I'm not one to talk about "lived experience" (which is a term I hate) but I do think that actually experiencing the stress and indignity of not being able to afford to participate in modern life is extremely clarifying, and gives you a perspective that sticks with you even after you achieve financial success. I think this is one of the dividing lines in the affordability debate. People who are flippant about affordability concerns obviously lack the perspective that being broke gives you.

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

I've seen a lot of incredibly stupid straw men on this site over the years, but neocons actually pretending that the whole affordability conversation is literally just about burritos is maybe the stupidest one of all time

[Being Libertarian @beinlibertarian]

Normal houses shouldn’t cost close to $1 million

New trucks shouldn’t cost close to $100k

A normal size tank of gas shouldn’t cost $70

But they do.

Preaching frugality is one thing, ignoring economic hardships is just running cover and political propaganda

[Max @1VeryChillDude]

It’s because the same burrito was $10 twenty minutes ago you fucking retard

[Auron MacIntyre @AuronMacintyre]

They’re focusing on a random burrito example someone threw out because it allows them to sell the idea that young people are frivolous to boomers

If they were mocking the real issues like housing and the cost of having children it would reveal them for who they really are

[Owen Shroyer @OwenShroyer1776]

We've gone from Golden Age to shut up and eat Ramen and refried beans real fast, and that was with minimal push back.

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

This is precisely the point. Groceries overall aren’t cheaper today than they were in 2024. So if you considered grocery affordability a problem in 2024, but not a problem in 2026, the only reason is politics. And everyone knows it. Were you pretending back then or are you pretending now? It’s one or the other.

[An0maly @LegendaryEnergy]

I’m convinced the GOP would rather crash the economy, their own party and their own country before abandoning their Israel lobby donors.

Which is exactly what they’re going to do these next few election cycles.

Don’t let them blame you. It’s them.

I support a family of eight with no college education at all. You don’t impress me. I’m not talking about our economic problems because I’m personally suffering financially. I’m talking about it because a lot of people are suffering. I don’t need to be personally hurt by something in order to care about it. If you’re a patriot, then you should want America to be a nation where normal people can afford to buy a house and feed their families. Regardless of your own personal financial situation.
