47 year old here.

Shut the fuck up you lying shit.

[-] obsoleteacct@lemmy.zip 18 points 5 days ago

This is some let them eat cake bullshit disguised as ignorance off her own industry. I'm not even sure who the fuck this messaging is for.

[-] Dragonstaff@leminal.space 8 points 5 days ago

Rich boomers who are starting to suspect that they destroyed the world and need someone to tell them everything is fine, every single person under 50 is just whiny and lazy.

[-] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 35 points 6 days ago

Can someone make sure she’s already on the menu? Move her up the list a bit.

[-] reddifuge@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

She got added to the Italian package.

The 0.01% has stolen $75,000,000,000,000 from US workers over the last 45 years, but sure.

I don't buy Starbucks ever. Where's my home?

Oh, look. Another out-of-touch moron, with a useless opinion.

[-] paultimate14@lemmy.world 33 points 6 days ago

Who is drinking Starbuccks in 2025? Just last month Starbucks closed 400 stores and laid off 900 employees in North America.

This will inevitably become "Gen Alpha is killing coffee shops". Fewer Barista jobs are available. The small, local coffee shop that is a nice quiet place to hang out or meet up with friends closes.

The problem is ghouls like her scraping value off the top of everything and hoarding that wealth like a dragon. Removing it from the system so their own personal number goes up.

Stupid fucking bitch.

2016 - millennials should stop buying avocado toast

2025 - gen Z should stop buying Starbucks

2034 - gen alpha should stop buying socks

[-] GladiusB@lemmy.world 26 points 6 days ago

Some of us aren't buying Starbucks you dumb twat. But bills still keep escalating. We don't need just Luigi. We need all of the Super Smash Bros.

[-] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 36 points 6 days ago

Boomers needed houses 50 years ago.

Gen X needed apartments 30 years ago.

Now you need a nice Transit Van.

ok, avoiding starbucks is easy because six fucking dollars for a coffee so they can pay their CEO 6,660 times what a barista makes, just so he can fly between seattle and sfo DAILY, yeah, that's easy, but that's not going to transform the entire fucking economy.

what boomers faced 30 years ago? lol, record low interest rates, cheaper education, much higher % of union participation, help me out here what was the rough stuff the boomers went through 30 years ago?

NO FUCKING TELL ME I WANT TO KNOW

[-] PillowTalk420@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago

They had to watch women, black people, queer folk and transgender people exist and they were scared.

If a boomer was buying a house 30 years ago, they were between 32 and 50 years old. They were not buying starter homes 30 years ago. They already had equity.

im sure her name was just added to a few peoples lists for that statement.

[-] devolution@lemmy.world 22 points 6 days ago

Oh look it's an out of touch white woman giving advice.

[-] dumbass@aussie.zone 13 points 6 days ago

How much Starbucks do these rich assholes drink to think stopping that purchase would get me my own home?

[-] Dragonstaff@leminal.space 4 points 5 days ago

Giving rich assholes more credit than they deserve: this advice is from the 90s. Boomers had to tighten their belts, pick up extra shifts, and scrimp and save to get a down payment for a "starter home". If someone one is a fucking idiot who doesn't understand anything about the economy for the last 30 years, they tell their kids and grandkids to do what they did...there's no such thing as a systemic issue, all you need is grit and give the manager a handshake yadda yadda yadda.

[-] obsoleteacct@lemmy.zip 4 points 5 days ago

Isn't everybody drinking 25,000 worth of Starbucks a year?

[-] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 6 points 6 days ago

there are actually people who get it more than once every day on average, literally a hundreds of dollars a month expense

and the fucking dumbest part of it is that that's still not enough to put a dent in a downpayment

What could a house cost? $10?

[-] Baggie@lemmy.zip 17 points 6 days ago

It's really fucking weird for this article to not be pointed at Millennials. Not better, kind of worse actually, and very weird. Poor bastards have it worse than we did and they're starting to become the punching bag for no reason.

[-] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 16 points 6 days ago

It's just the sign that us millennials have gotten old enough to no longer be the young adults that these wealthy fucks punch down on

I think what we gen Z need to do is to nail her to a fucking tree and then use her as target practice. Or skin her and then use the leather we get from that so we can make a windmill that generates energy. At least that way she will have contributed something to society.

[-] SereneSadie@lemmy.myserv.one 17 points 6 days ago

Those teeth look primed to be turned into a necklace.

Stop buying everything. Trade shit. Food? Ok, buy that and nothing else. Let it all burn.

Yeah probably shouldn’t be listening to this person

[-] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

Moron, return to the 1950's and 60's, because that was the height of US consumer buying power.

[-] Mediocre_Bard@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

I love whatever program it is that is job-placing these otherwise unemployable idiots.

[-] AllToRuleThemOne@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago

As always there is something in german to respond to this (especially to this thumbnail):

„Du hast ein Gesicht wie ein Paar Latschen: Reintreten und wohlfühlen!“

Roughly translated to:

‚You have a face like a pair of slippers: step in and feel comfortable!‘ but with „reintreten“, here: ‚step in‘, primeraly meaning ‚to kick in‘.

[-] mlg@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Stop buying Starbucks coffee

They already did lmao, my old town was cheering because two Starbucks locations went out of business and got replaced by local cafes lol.

Although tbf that was in SE Michigan which exploded in the cafe business after Qawah house started a chain reaction by accident.

[-] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 10 points 6 days ago

Booo! Get some new material!

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

I guess I'd believe this if all the hard data didn't prove it wrong.

Maybe I should become a conservative so I don't have to bother with hard data anymore and I can just let an almost deceased obese felon rapist tell me what to think.

[-] hark@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

"900 corporate staffers were also laid off as part of a $1 billion restructuring following six straight quarters of sales decline.".

The idea that spending on coffee or avocado toast or whatever single food/drink item is causing a widespread drop in home ownership is idiotic enough, but this absolute moron managed to pick something with hard evidence of declining sales.
