Avocado toast

• alanfalcon 9y ago
  Artisinal avocado toast. (Artisinal? "It’s like stuff you would normally buy, but it costs a lot more. And it has ingredients from places I haven’t even heard of, like Detroit.")

  Bullshit. > it would cost more than 57,000 avocado toasts to buy a loft in Detroit. But also, while the joke implies that Millennials are stubbornly, consciously making the mistake of living lavishly instead of frugally a) avocado is nutritious (has Big Food has warped the national discourse so much that health is seen as an extravagance?) and b) capitalism encourages buying; it’s highly hypocritical to expect those who earn less to opt out of this model.

  To provide some context: this was famously mentioned as the reason why millennials can't afford property in Australia.
