Inb4: Millennials killing the economy by not eating.

[–] PM_Your_Nudes_Please@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

This just sounds like the “millennials can’t afford houses because of avocado toast” argument in a different wrapper.

To be fair lots of adults should probably skip breakfast.

[–] ItsABarmcake@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I skip breakfast, but make up for it with double brunch

[–] Neato@kbin.social 14 points 2 years ago

To save money, we should skip billionaires.

[–] tdawg@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

Jokes on you I already skip breakfast to save on calories

[–] pH3ra@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 years ago

Skip breakfast, eat the rich

[–] eochaid@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

To save money, maybe you should eat the rich.

Rember a while ago when there was the joke tweet "sleeping in and skipping breakfast, how yonprofot off your depression"

Well apparently this person saw this and the part they had a problem with was the sleeping in part.

I wanna see the article "how to make money by killing rich people and taking their stuff"

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

How about just die? You will save the government taxes and solve the housing crisis

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 0 points 2 years ago

Seems ridiculous but that article was written dozens of times during the pandemic except instead of solving the housing crisis it was solving the corporate real estate crisis.... of not making unlimited money for nothing.

Considering I almost never eat breakfast in the first place, not eating breakfast would not be a major change in my life at all. Hell, it's not even a financial problem causing me to skip breakfast. It's just that I don't like it.

[–] AgentGrimstone@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

I skip lunch. Breakfast at 10am, dinner at 6pm 😎

[–] Gerula@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

I can't read the original article but in the context I'm getting (cpi report) the title is either sarcastic or incredibly stupid.

The comunist spin is cringy. Please stop.

In a period where the biggest constant public health threat is obesity and food is wasted by millions of tons each year I somehow stubbornly don't think that the problem with having what to eat is a real.
