like i know these people are technically meant to be our allies because they don’t own the means of production, but how the fuck do you spend more than my family’s annual income on fast food? how are we meant to find common ground with people who are able and happy to do this?

edit: turns out this is a repost. sorry. but still, i standby my disgust

This is why people think “oh just stop eating out” is valuable advice. They have no idea that people are trying to live with smaller incomes than what the middle class spends on just food alone. Telling an entire class of people to “just get better job” is not a solution either. This just admits that the job is required but people doing the job aren’t worthy of comfort or savings.

Seriously. It’s like, okay, I’ll spend $15 less per week on food and that will magically solve everything, I guess.

Imagine spending 25 THOUSAND DOLLARS and not realizing because it didn’t impact your quality of life or housing or ability to obtain food

I’m middle class, and I think it’s stupid and wasteful.

Middle class isn’t really a thing. Rich kid could be either bourgeois or wealthier working class but the idea of a middle class is not as it’s not a thing. The middle class was an invention by the bourgeois to divide the working class and create divisions. We should resolutely oppose the usage of such terminology

I mean there are working people who get all their money from wages and but still make 10x more than some of the working class. Those people could be considered middle class.

They aren’t a different class. Those people still don’t own the means of production and are hence working class

I probably have my own set of disagreeable vices, but this is a wild amount of cash for marked up, shit food.
