The economy is fine! We just have… money dysmorphia. /s
The gaslighting is at warp speed now.

That’s a big if.
A huge percentage of Americans (my family included) live paycheck-to-paycheck. There’s little or nothing left to save. They have everything from student loans to medical debts.
Criticizing someone for spending a few dollars a day on coffee to make their life a little more bearable is placing the criticism on the wrong party. You should be angry that anyone should have to make such unnecessary sacrifices. You should be angry that we can’t all get the shiny new thing if we want it.
You should never rely on luxury items to “make your life bearable”.
Pretending Starbucks makes you happy is literally half your problem.
How does it feel to be so weak your coffee literally owns you at this point.
You’re fighting giving up coffee harder than you’ve ever fought for higher wages.
You’ve shackled yourself and you blame the person pointing out your shackles?
Ignorant AF.
How is coffee a luxury item?
Should people be expected to live off of water and rice because they are poor?
Do the world a favour, go live in a cave, preferably one with no exits.
I’d love to see the starbucks/income ratio by year set next to rent/income ratio so we can finally put these kind of brain dead responses to rest.
