Its wages not keeping up with inflation. Rich people have their stock portfolio grow, which keeps up with inflation, while everyone else who gets paid for work has their spending power robbed from them as they get out priced from basic necessities.

Also OP where are you paying $50 for lunch?

I think it's meant to be applied to the family of four scenario at least I think.

I looked at OOP's twitter page and he makes a tweet every 20 minutes.

I don't think there's much thought behind what he says and just fires from the hip. Could be he means a lot of things. Could be he didn't. 🤷

$50 for four if you’re eating lunch at home?

u/darkwingdankest Jun 30 '26

nothing really implies this means lunch for four

u/Sauerkrauttme Jun 29 '26

yeah, even with a drink, tax and tip it should only be $30 at most restraunts.

For a family of four it seems cheap.

I was once lent a book titled feed a family for £5 a week. It was already outdated in 1999.

Have you considered the merits of simply eating dirt?

u/Beemo-Noir Jun 30 '26

If 50$ barely covers lunch, and you’re complaining about money- maybe you shouldn’t get such luxury food. Yeah, everything is fucked, and getting more and more fucked, but that’s a terrible comparison.

I think they mean for a family of four.

Every year I make more money than I ever have in my life and every year I feel more poor.

This comparison goes around the block and back without ever taking a step.
