How are they measuring the costs here? Even fast-food burgers have significantly shot up in price.

If we go by raw ingredients, then healthy food can be considerably cheaper than pre-made garbage and fast food.

If we add the time cost of traveling to a grocery store, shopping, and then preparing the healthier food, then it could become more expensive.

There’s also the fact that most of the USA has absolute shit public transportation which increases the burden for people who can’t afford cars to get groceries in the first place. That and the time costs can be reduced with grocery deliveries, however. this might not be a viable option in all areas or work schedules; You want to be home when the groceries are delivered.

Then there is the fact that there are a lot of food deserts , especially in low-income areas. This can make it harder, if not impossible for people to even get healthier food.

Not sure where I’m going with my train of thought here…

This fixed it for me. It was already set to English and didn’t think to switch it to something different and back.

I play with the brightness/contrast/gamma until I can see everything.

It seems like video editors forget that not everyone is using a multi-thousand dollar display specifically tuned for video editing and most people are probably watching whatever on a cheapo Walmart special TV or monitor.

I think a lot of people here are confusing liquid assets/cash and genuinely believe millionaires and billionaires have this as pure cash in their bank accounts.

In reality, a lot of the money is tied up in non-liquid assets like property, physical assets, and stocks.

Sure these wealthy people can sell their shares for example, but if they sell too many at once, it will drop the value of the shares.

This is likely why Elon Musk can’t afford to pay his bills. Not only is he a grifter and a loser, he’s likely extremely cash poor and doesn’t have enough liquidity to pay his debts. It’s unlikely he’ll ever admit this however.

Arguably, the majority of the money these billionares have is essentially speculative.

The more you think about how the economy works, the more you realize how much of a facade it really is. The stock market is a huge sham as well. Most stocks simply don’t exist and the amount of value manipulation that occurs is astounding. It’s all fake.

I think the sooner we begin to realize that the economy is one giant paper tiger and if we just start telling banks and other “money” purveyors that lock us into our flawed system to go fuck themselves, we can really take away the power from “the rich.”

I’m curious how many of these POS (Point-of-Sale, not Piece of Shit) systems have the default settings to ask for tips. If so, I wonder how many of these places are committing wage theft by not actually paying tips out to the employees.

Is this the new Celebrity Deathmatch reboot we’ve been waiting for?

Nazis, probably.
