Have you seen the price of a decent piece of avocado toast though?

1990: “We don’t do that, do that yourself at home. GTFO”

2024: Starts at $11.95 just for avocado, addons are extra

Avocado toast on this is $11.99. You’re saying I can have a slice or day for only $360 a month? Not a bad deal!

I can get 4 avocados for $5, a loaf of good sourdough for $5, and a dozen aggs for $8. $18/week ($3/day) and I can eat a healthy breakfast of avocado toast with 2 eggs every day.

That $72/month is what’s breaking the bank, not my $2500/month rent.

Avocados are $3 each here and man is it a gamble.

Yeah they can be finicky. I live in the mountains in CA and they’re definitely fresh, but you can tell they’ve travelled and the altitude here turns them shitty real quick so it’s a delicate balance of getting just the right ones that’ll be ripe at the right time in sequence to eat before they go to hell the next day.

Eh, McMillan is a republican who endorsed Trump. We don’t need him.

At this point we need somebody who will just come out and say it: it’s everyone else versus landlords.

Fuck them. You cant outsource an apartment building to China. Make their lives hell and if they decide being a landlord isn’t worth it and sell their property at a loss then everyone is better off for it

What we need is more housing, and that means looser zoning, which means fighting the NIMBYs. I would love to see mixed zoning become a more common thing in the US (and everywhere TBH).

And when Bill Shorten proposed to change the tax system to slow down speculative capital gains that are driving house prices, the people voted for Robodebt Scotty Morrison.

This is hard to read after decades of useful idiots telling me it’s just a blip and everything is OK.
