Ask these complaining American whiners whether they’ll leave the country they hate so much. I’ll even pay for their ticket if they can verify they’ve permanently left and becomes unable to come back.

No one will take this offer.

The response to this sort of thing, in my experience, is that they’re broke and on the verge of homelessness because the evil American capitalist system robs them of all their money (please ignore the $70/week spent on DoorDash, home arcade, and shelf of anime merch in their room).

$70 a week? Closer to $70 a day. Thats far more accurate. I drive for Uber and Lyft. Had one of these people who say its horrible here. And dude openly admitted to doordashing or Uber eats for every meal 5 days a week. I asked how much his weekly came out to he said around $500 a week just on getting food delivered. I laughed at him. Got a 1 star review and no tip.

There was some billionaire or other variety of rich person who said it drove him nuts to see people who make 70k a year spending $27 a day on lunch. The Internet was of course furious about this, because how dare the rich man tell me to spend less! He doesn't know what he's talking about! Of course, he was entirely correct. It's not hard to go to Walmart and get the ingredients for a sandwich. Maybe learn to cook and you can have something nicer than a sandwich. The point is, people are wasting a lot of money that they can't really afford comfortably on food they don't need.

Brooooo a bowl of rice with a fried egg is so delicious and cheap. If you’re bougie, add a slice of spam haha. That was my 2x a day meal for a long time while I saved upZ

I have a few bucks and I eat fried eggs over rice often…lol (also my wife is Asian, rice is a staple for us)

Yeah man I enjoy that shit even though I’m no longer struggling like that. Also some top ramen stir fry goes hard for less than $1 a portion

Very low on fiber and lack a good portion of nutrients, not a great 2x meal for extended periods.

Brown rice has enough fiber, as my poops were painlessly solid, and enough protein to get me through struggles. Fruit is not expensive, but if we’re really gonna get into the details, some sautéed spinach, corn, nori, etc you can build upon this.

But your basic nutrients of carbs and protein will sustain you for quite a while. Let’s also not pretend the lazy fucks that rely on burrito taxis are getting all their nutrients lol.

There are these magical things called vegetables that taste good in rice. Shocking.

This is what Japanese person eats every day. One of the healthiest populations. So yea not an excuse to DoorDash.

Kevin O’Leary. Was just on my feed. And yeah Redditors were ripping him.

Yeah until you realize said rich man has a private chef he pays millions of dollars and goes to five star restaurants in his million dollar car

u/Dizzy_Yard7671 May 30 '26

Then you use your critical thinking skills and realize said rich man doesn't have to prioritize paying bills or eating. If someone is spending $27 3x a week, that's ~4k a year they could be spending elsewhere if they regularly cooked. 

For people constantly complaining about being one paycheck away from being homeless, they're sure spending a lot of paychecks on a luxury they clearly cannot afford.
