    Also if you’ve ever drank a latte or eaten a piece of Avacado toast, you might as well just find a dumpster to live in for the rest of your life, there’s no coming back from that economically.

    There was one really staggering statistic I saw in the past few months, and I’m only paraphrasing here, but it some something along the lines of “If you were to collect and save $17 per second every second since Columbus set sail and (accidentally) discovered the Americas, you’d have almost as much money as Musk has lost on Twitter in the past six months.”
