Here’s a nice (non-paywalled) breakdown of the original article and reactions to it. I just managed to get the first few sentences of the WSJ thing (despite disabling Javascript), but between the article and the breakdown, it seems the author picked a baity title to an otherwise uncontroversial (if lacking) analysis of food price inflation.
Journalists don’t write their own heds. It would have been an editor who wrote it. Your point stands otherwise.
To not get murdered, die right now…
“Instead of seeking happiness, save money with misery”
Thank you, I’ve finally achieved Capitalist enlightenment! The secrets of capitalism are mine!
I’m not ready for esoteric capitalism
" Instead of seeking happiness, save money on pussy" <– what my GF read
Struggling to get by? Have you tried forgoing basic needs of survival like food?
i wish poverty diet actually made it easier to stay in shape
instead i just have an eating disorder from chronic food insecurity
Haha the poors should just eat less food! Problem solved!
especially if we ate the rich instead!
The masses lack bread? Let them go on a “diet”
I really dont understand the hate on this post?
It’s just a catchy headline, I expect the article itself would actually discuss some of the reasons one might skip breakfast. And there are good reasons to skip breakfast, money aside.
If one suggests restricting how much one eats out of financial reasons, then that is a clear indicator that very likely there’s a big systemic problem in the room we aren’t discussing.
Your life is hard? Add malnourishment and see if that helps.
Seriously though skip breakfast
Yeah, I rarely have it unless I have to travel for a while and won’t have a chance to take an early lunch. I don’t usually get up til 8:55 though. I have to be at work by 9.
To save even more money, switch over completely to a diet of things you find on the ground.
To save even more money, stop bathing, showering and brushing your teeth.
To save even more money, stop living in a house and move into the sewers.
To save even more money, stop wearing clothes.
To save even more money, stop communicating with expensive words, settling instead for grunting, growling and maybe barking like a dog. Consider filing your teeth pointy.
To save even more money, stop using tools. Emerge from your sewer hideout only at night to prowl the streets on all fours, feral and bewildered, eyes grown pale and milky from years in the dark sewers darting maniacally back and forth while your filth-encrusted teeth and nails twitch in anticipation of the slightest movement.
This is how I was able to afford a starter house by age 30. This and a $400 000 loan from my father.
I hope whoever wrote this trips in their bathroom and gets a severe brain injury.
Can’t get a brain injury if I have no brain…
taps head
I think something like “taps elbow” would be funnier.
Man that’s kinda fucked up, who knows if they’d survive getting another brain injury
Same but for the editor who chose that headline
AIs don’t have a bathroom, or even a brain.
the person who greenlit this article for publishing does
Editor: “I could spend the next 10 minutes reading this article before publishing, or go to lunch early.”
News sites will do anything to get engagement and attention. ANYTHING.
I mean, it’s valid, if not for the incorrect reason. I personally fast past breakfast all the time , mainly because I’m not a huge fan of it. Otherwise, yeah…
I thought this was a joke, but no, it’s real.
Clickbait headline for a boring article 😪
“Save money by avoiding expensive foods.”
The headline is as valid as “just stop being poor”
