Liberal economists continue to rage bait me

These are the same assholes that told us to save money and stop buying avocado toast.
Came here to say this; I genuinely wish the entire left would never stop harping on about this; the right are more than happy to harp on about any nonsense they can and then turn it into a serious matter (like crying about DEI and turning it from a non-issue into one seriously discussed in government), so I wish every left or left adjacent content creator would point this out and never let it go.
It should become a thought terminating cliche against right wingers, “Oh I bet you think you could buy a house with avocado toast money, shut the fuck up moron”
Y’know what, that would be an interesting econometric. How many avocado toasts a house is worth. It would measure the relation between consumable and appreciable products, and possibly indicate how artificially inflated real estate prices are.
They’re also the ones saying the poor must do with less so the rich who totally earned everything can have bank accounts go up

20 years later most people can’t afford either
Supply and demand, bitches.
Restaurants supply overpriced, shit food, and there is no demand for it.
This headline isn’t an economic anything. This is propaganda making you feel a way about your actions.
“oh, but if we lower prices then we couldn’t afford rent”
so you agree the rent’s too high? You’re on our side?Funny enough, this was Henry George’s argument.
Landlords sit on their ass and do absolutely nothing but benefit from both labor and capital’s activities making land values go up. Landlording literally punishes success so he proposed a land value tax.
Of course, Karl Marx even addressed this as capitalist reformism but also admitted this would certainly be an improvement.

Add it to the absolutely MASSIVE pile of concessions we would gladly have and which would likely disperse most of the drive towards actual socialism (or radicalization that leads people to see its necessity) but which we’ll never, ever get, because the bourgeoisie are such radical ideological extremists that they can brook no compromise
The only thing I want just as much as socialism is to be proven wrong about capitalism.
“Your New Lunch Habit Is Hurting The Economy”
Good.
does it more
i will kill one economy every hour until my demands are met
The economy hurt me first.
If no jobs and labor is free so I still live in squalor even if I do get a job and all that is a “good economy”, then I want the economy to get worse.
But not buying lunch is how I’m going to be able to afford a house. Pick a lane, darnit
No wage, only spend.
Unironically the central bank is the only institution capable of unlimited spending, the coveted holy grail, but neoliberal economists cry too when there’s deficit spending
you asking for more wage is the only cause of inflation
Yeah baffling, I was specifically lectured about not buying lunch at work to be thrifty. Just admit that we’re in a slowdown.
aw gee. i wonder why people aren’t buying $20 lunch every single day. it’s only like, what, 3 or so of their working hours devoted to mid food?
Capitalists when justifying their spending: everyone should just act in their own self interests, and that actually produces the best outcomes for everyone!
Capitalists when the proles don’t spend how they want: won’t someone think of the economy???
“Hey, you! You! You! Guy eating the avocado toast!”
“Who… Me?.. This is an open-faced sandwich and you need to get your eyes checked.”
“The reason young people have no money is that they eat avocado toast!”
“Whatever.”
“Hey, you! You! You! You! Look at me! Other guy! Guy with the paper bag!”
“What is your problem? And stop yelling.”
“You got your lunch in there?”
“Not that it’s any of your business but - yeah, I do.”
“You’re killing the lunch industry!”
So which is it motherfuckers?! Am I poor because I spend money on coffee and avocado toast, or is it that I’m destroying the economy because I don’t spend money on coffee and avocado toast?! You can’t have fucking both!
Can we just turn liberal economists into avocado toast?
I WAS BUYING MY LUNCH EVERY DAY! I’M THE FUCKIN KEY MARKET FOR YOU FUCKERS! ADHD ADDLED LAZY CONSTRUCTION WORKER WHO MAKES A PRETTY OK WAGE CAN’T BUY THE FUCKING SLOP ANYMORE SO WHO THE FUCK ELSE IS GOING TO???
Pay me what I am fucking worth and I will think about buying lunch every day.
Well, I won’t buy it, but I’ll think about it
Do not approach a hurt economy, they are known to be vicious.
Doesn’t help how compliant all the chains are in genocide.
economy load bearing treats
