When I was there I felt like a medieval adventurer because I could just find a market stall and pay for a meal with one coin
How liberating that must feel, that food is cheap and plentiful that you don’t have to worry about something that’s a human right. I joked about it
up there, but things are so dysfunctional in the imperial core that being food secure is a sign of having wealth, total peasant shit.Pretty much. My partner says I have a “great depression mentality” around food (stockpiling, etc) and it’s true…
i grew up poor in the US and i literally learned how to grow calorie crops and have some in my backyard right now that could keep me fed for like a month if needed. My idea of luxury is having the money to replace my old broken shit that barely works but i keep using.

Food is supposed to be a luxury item, sweetie
buys same t shirt for 20$ and the cheapest most unhealthy meal is $6 minimum
You can pry my $25 4-pack of plain black costco t-shirts from my cold, dead hands.
I found this brainrot in the comments:

Amazon.com, Inc. has a list of I believe 12 or 13 core tenets that they refer to as “Leadership Principles”. These tenets are supposed to permeate company culture and impact every decision made. Their hiring process vets candidates based on these tenets. One of the central tenets is Frugality. Amazon.com, Inc. is a company with a $2T market cap. It is the 5th largest company in the world by market cap. Are you, Mr. Los Angeles Times, saying that Big Business is wrong?
I love the irony of a company who’s most well known service is an ecommerce site that tries to manipulate people into impulse buying and overconsuming having “frugality” as one of it’s leadership principles. It’s up there with the Bezos Post using “Democracy dies in darkness” as a slogan or Google using “don’t be evil” as their motto.
