Why Breakfast Is Busting Your Food Budget
(www.wsj.com)
No, the price of food is what's busting your budget.
I read that headline, and your comment, and immediately inferred WSJ is victim-blaming people just for eating breakfast. The sheer audacity of it...
was it time to blame the poors for their own poverty again?
LOL you can't afford coffee
-wsj
I can't believe I'm saying this, but... to be fair to the Wall Street Journal, it read like an article with basic factual information. It even talked about why this is bad for Trump.
Nobody's accusing them of printing non factual info, the billionaire owned paper is phrasing the symptoms of wealth inequality as the fault of poor people for eating food.
They don't want to point the finger at the people responsible because they are owned by those people.
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives.
The article is an example of selection bias. Prices are up on most groceries, manufacturers are reaping record profits.
Well, coffee had a disease issue and oranges have weather problems so let's focus on those.
This isn't to say that the article isn't being truthful and what they are saying but they are specifically trying to paint a picture to hide corporate greed.
The funny thing is this article is still a big upgrade from their previous edition.
Prices won't effect me. I have heroin & doritos for breakfast.
You disgust me, no salsa‽
OMG!!! I gotta try that. Habanero!
my breakfast is limited to only 4 avocado toasts and a venti cappuccino from starbucks, so i should be ok
Hahaha I don't eat breakfast cause I am a poor pleb.
Not for me, my breakfast is 2 granola bars and a snack size apple juice. I dont really like breakfast anyway so it seems to work for me.
Just go to Starbucks and grab any of the 15 cups of coffee in pickup area and go. Imagine buying coffee when Starbucks exists
The downside to that approach is that the coffee it gets you is from Starbucks.
Yeah it's shit coffee but think of all the oj you can buy with the savings!
I mean, I don't drink coffee or orange juice, but I could see how other people would be impacted.
Separately, bird flu has egg prices up again. Which may or may not affect you.
