Food is required to live even if you haven't paid off your debt.

If you got hit by a car I would demand compensation be paid to the driver for the damages

Our tax dollars paid for a fat shaming add from Mike Tyson that told us not to eat processed food, but also don't eat food that costs a lot, like chicken.

what the fuck are you talking about

We're also going to leave you in the worst, most abusive old people's homes imaginable because you wrote things like this. Enjoy.

We could eat you instead. Would that be more financially responsible of us?

wow... what a crock of horse shit, like what you expect people to eat apparently?

"let them eat cake" is officially too generous a position for the WSJ

Oh my, have you heard the POOOOOORSSS are INDULGING in tasty food rather than gruel?!?! Have you ever heard such an outrage?!?! Jeaves, Jeaves, fetch my Orphan Beating Stick!!

Why won't the poors eat gruel as is their station?

20- and 30-somethings getting a small slice of joy out of eating *checks notes* slightly higher end rotisserie chicken than what Walmart offers. Wow what a journalistic reveal. I wish I could hope that journalists (or more probably, editors) would connect the dots with falling birth rates but

Man, fuck you.

gotta admit, if we cut down on healthy juices, we could build more guillotines is that what you want?

You could maybe talk about how economic despair affects spending habits instead of trying to blame the latte factor for poverty.

Fuck you

AVOCADO TOAST

Get fucked

Um can we have actual grocery stores that look like this now everywhere. I don't care if the stuff is all fake wood. I love the old timey craftsman look.

It's avocado toast, version 2.0. 🙄

This is on the same level of stupidity as when wealthy people criticize the working class for buying a new TV Because rich people inherently believe that the poor and working class shouldn’t have even tiny instances of joy, that everything should be suffering for us What a garbage article

shut the fuck up

Buy groceries and make a nice meal: we are splurging Refuse to spend even more cash at an expensive restaurant: we are killing the restaurant industry www.wsj.com/business/mor...

Time is a flat circle. This is just avocado toast repackaged

"Two full generations are largely priced out of the housing market but I dunno, chicken!"

Still flogging that "millennials are poor because they eat avocado toast" claptrap, huh

shut the fuck up, this is millennial avocado toast again

Meanwhile max itemized deduction you can claim on student loan interest is $2.5k but for mortgage interest? $750k! System is broken for working class!

God, y’all are so goddamn stupid.

Same energy 😂

Man, us Millennials would only have to forego at least 20,040 rotisserie chickens (or nearly FIFTY-FIVE years' worth of daily rotisserie chickens!) to afford a house at those prices!

It's extra fancy because it's COOKED !!! 🤯

Rotisserie chickens cost less

pathetic that we're still doin avocado toast in 2026

You caused this

"Splurging on chicken". God has 777,777 faces and speaks with 777,777 voices but you will never hear words of forgiveness even should ten thousand kalpas pass.

avocado toast again? writes a new headline for once in your lives

so fucking sick of these youngsters demanding to eat every damn day

Everyone who works at the Wall Street Journal spends $200 a day on lunch and at least half of that is booze

Are we deadass?

I need kombucha for stomach reasons and I only drink it every other day because of the price and then this article comes around and rips the wig straight off my head

Killing all the restaurants so buying rotisserie chicken from the grocery store is the only option 🙂‍↕️

imo it is truly corporate media as created through ideals/agenda of among worst dolts on the planet which is, more than anything, making people SICKER and POORER. the "luxury" of rotissarie chicken!? and this as literally as studies show how the poor have to buy lower quality food. absolutely F WSJ!

Went from "a chicken in every pot" to "dear me, I say, the poors sometimes have chicken in their pots! That's why they are poors I suppose" *adjusts monicle as a sign of how smart they are*

Worst thing is, if we eat less meat, we'll hear "millennials are killing the meat industry!" Like they said about fabric softener (con) and diamonds (ugly) and so on.

You'll never be out of debt and you'll never own a home thanks to us, but don't you dare enjoy anything else in your life, plebs.

I bet you skeeted this on a fancy iPhone too.

the only approprite repsonse

A rotisserie chicken costs $5 at Costco, less than $10 at stop and shop.

It’s ridiculous that a person living alone can’t have cheap food in a restaurant that has bulk purchasing power. Why do I have to eat the same meal a whole week to save money?!

Oh my god, shut the fuck up.

This is a joke, right?

God forbid people need to fucking eat

shut up

Rent $2,500 Phone $75 Car $500 Insurance $200 Rotisserie chickens $750,000 Need help with the monthly budget here.

Oh how fucking dare they enjoy creature comforts in this finite lifespan where you just pointed out they will never own anything. Fuck off.

Poor people considering their own health? We can't have that, I guess? I really wish you guys could maybe take a step back from self-parody levels of quisling bullshit, but I guess you wouldn't be the WSJ without fellating nazis.

Rotisserie chickens are famously one of the cheapest kinds of pre-prepared protein. They are usually old chickens, often laying hens, whose meat has gotten tough from a hard life. That’s why they are injected with brine and cooked for hours. That’s not a luxury, it’s literally poverty food.

I hope we don’t overlook outlets like the WSJ when the barricades of freedom get lit or whatever. What I’m saying is, there’s room in the stockade for people who write articles like this, right alongside people like Stephen Miller.

It is a day ending in y and the WSJ is getting angry at Millenials spending $6 on rotisserie chicken. Classic. Only the hits over and over.

the kids can't even afford avocado toast these days?

What the fuck is wrong with you?

We're going to smash your computers with sledgehammers

They could never eat another bite of chicken and drink only water for the rest of their lives and not save enough from it to buy a house or pay off their student debt. Sit down.

Fuck. Off.

Hey quick question what's more expensive a chicken or a house

"He knows people may balk at $16 bottles of pumpkin milk." what did I just read

"Are the boomers ruining music?" "Is Gen X ruining television?" "Are millennials ruining the housing market?" "Is Gen Z ruining the luxury grocery market?" are we still fucking doing this. genuinely how does this pablum keep getting made

fuck them kids for giving a single shit about their health I guess

A whole costco chicken is $4.95. How much is a house now?

Not this again 🙄

The most dishonest part of this is equating two generations of working class Americans to a minority of wealthy influencers.

Have to stay healthy bc they sure can’t afford health insurance. Suppose the WSJ thinks health insurance is also a “splurge”?

They would just as quickly spin the exact same article with "McDonald's and soda". Shit journalism never changes. They probably have 1000 articles ready to post with madlibs style blanks to populate with whatever bullshit.

They should do as their predecessors did, and eat from the chain of command

splurging myself on not dying of hunger

Sharpen the guillotines.

Won't somebody think of the jewelry stores or the luxury vacation designers?!!?

I believe the WSJ has already written about how the malignant scourge of millennials already killed all of those in the name of consuming coffee and avocado on toast. Now we find their campaign of villainy extends all the way to drinking juice and rotisserie chicken!!!

Fuck this false equivalence

Oh yes, the luxury splurge of...a rotisserie chicken????

Shame on them. They should be eating the rich.

How many times have you written this article?

I wonder which is more affordable, WSJ, a home or a chicken?

Find a rusty chainsaw and shove it up your ass

At risk of being banned, I will say that whoever wrote this deserves to have their ass beaten. Nothing gratuitous, just an old-fashioned ass beating. Flush their heads in a toilet and lock them inside a utility closet for a bit afterwards.

How many juices does it take to buy a house, you geniuses?

An iron bowl could fix me.

I'm sure that's what people like the writer of this article would tell us to eat

im already chewing cinnamon sticks to quit smoking and thinking about how clean farm-raised insects for food would be the protein of the future

Me, taunting upper east side grande dames with a gnawed up chicken bone

Yeah, why doesn't everyone just fucking starve

The framing on this is nigh on apocalyptic

“Splurging” on rotisserie chicken? I’m using the meat in stews, soups, casseroles, enchiladas — I can stretch a $7 chicken to 12 portions in combination with grains, legumes, and veg. And I’m using the bones for stock. Last week I used 2 chicken breasts in a pot of lentil soup that lasted four days.

Rotisserie chicken isn't a luxury food, dumbfuck

Splurging on… groceries?

Hey, go fuck yourselves 👍

those greedy gen Zers should be out licking off the crumbs on the sidewalk right and lifting up them bootstraps

“gut-healthy juices” is by far the most revolting way you could have phrased kombucha.

You can tell the economy is taking a turn for the worse when they stop using avocado toast and lattes as their go-to and have to resort to the luxury known as "$6 chicken from Walmart" to make the poors feel bad

Chicken, the wyagu of birds.

Please just shut the fuck up forever

"Nice debt. Couldn't help but notice you're buying healthy food and drinks thouuuuugh...tch." Perhaps, show us how it's done then? Hmm? :)

Mountain dew for me

Pretty sure they want everyone suffering, which means starving.

🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕

What about the Epstein files????

Shut!!!! Up!!!!

Gen Zers and millenials attract enemy radar. They attract sharks. They insist on being placed at the Captain's Table. They get up late, they nudge people whilst they're shooting. They muck about.

So, whoever wrote this is saying that it is Gen Zerrs who are at fault for not being able to buy homes? I think you should have made that sentiment more explicitly, if it is indeed what you meant. Very poor writing. Should have got into debt to learn better. Tsk tsk.

Fuck... and I say this with all sincerity... right the hell off!
