    The gaslighting bothers me the most. “The soft landing worked! The economy is great! Look at all these jobs!” Are they good jobs? Do they pay enough to live? Why has the price of everything gone up so much? It’s eerie being lied to on such a massive scale like this. Very much a superb example of “don’t piss in my ear and tell me it’s raining.”

    I buy those dollar store packages of refried beans and rice, and cans of mixed vegetables. I put them in individual containers and freeze them to take to work for lunch. It’s pretty cheap, and it makes me feel a lot fuller than anything I could buy at a convenience store or restaurant.

    It’s also vegan and gluten free (I have celiac and severe lactose intolerance)

      I can also very much recommend lentins.

      They are good. There’s even pasta made out of lentins. It is gluten free. You use it like ordinary pasta. It’s good.

    Of course, it’s cheaper to cook at home. But the McChicken is, like the whole industry that is to blame for it’s existance, a serious threat to our physical health and thus to be avoided at any cost.

    This dudes reference is literally a capitalist giant bullshit product with completely imaginary prices.

    Like, McDumb raising random prices is no clear indication of inflation. Rice, noodles and stuff are
