That doesn't account for the time value of money. The reality is even worse because the price of the house is continuing to increase as you push the purchase off into the future. (I haven't done the math, but it could very well be increasing faster than $5 day, so in reality foregoing the rotisserie chicken doesn't make you make progress at all, but only fall behind slower.)

I'll just be satisfied with knowing what this guy is about to do, but not actually seeing the footage myself.

$5 for a whole chicken? That's cheap as fuck. What does the WSJ expect gen z and millennials to eat? Their mom's cooking?

A single meal for $5 would be a deal. A rotisserie chicken can feed a family, or a single person could eat it for days.

This is just more "anyone who isn't a millionaire doesn't deserve to eat" rhetoric from the world's billionaires.

Also, as a 30y.o. millennial, I object to the characterization of the "oldest gen z" being 30. I've earned my place among 20th century-borns!

New day, new generation, every single day

Can feed a family yes, but isn't truly a meal on its own. Add some rice and beans, and now you've got a decent meal that has a tad more nutrition/balance than just straight up chicken.

[-] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 months ago

You're right, it needs some veggies too. But honestly if you're having rice and beans, and something iron-rich like broccoli, then the chicken isn't even necessary.

But we all know the people complaining about this aren't advocating for vegetarianism...
