It’s one rotisserie chicken, Michael. How much could it cost, fifty dollars?

I like how the second article's main photo is of a boomer and Gen Zer standing in front of an RV while the article talks about things Gen Z wastes money on.
Pfft, stupid millenials and gen z wasting all of their monies on fancy rotiserrie chickens and non processed fresh food. If they just lived on a starvation diet, they could afford their rent and insurance. They are just bad with money.
But wages have never had more buying power! The CPI and inflation adjusted numbers say so, and although we've changed the way it's counted to understate it, 2-3% from 5-8% under the old unimproved metric for the last half century, just by 2008, you can totally trust we wouldn't in bad faith understate the numbers to give every worker, every retiree, and every fixed income a pay cut every year automatically, and transferring that money to investors in gate keeping corporations. /s
Yeah I just want to know what grocery store food Wall Street journal is going to call Gen Alpha privileged for eating. Store brand hummus? Whole wheat bread?
Hummus?? BROWN bread?? thats rich people food
Rotisserie chicken, used for burritos, can make lunch for the work week.
Eat slop and work harder, Serfs! Your CEO needs a new Bentley!
Costco’s rotisserie chicken is cheaper than a raw chicken in most places and I don’t need to spend money on utilities to cook it. It’s also gross, but when you’re poor you don’t get a lot of protein options.
When I splurge, I buy hamburger at 9$ a lb.
They should splurge on savvier investments like third-world suffering
