  It's sarcasm (and I enjoyed it).

    Yes, and I'm asking what the context for that sarcasm is.

      the political and financial elite of New York are coming to terms with the fact that they have completely lost the faith of the lower and middle classes in terms of maintaining or improving living standards. it has been interesting watching the media try to contort themselves to address this.

        > rotisserie chicken It has to be a deliberate joke, right? Isn’t rotisserie chicken the poster child for loss leaders? For all the reasons to buy it, luxury is the bottom of the list.
