Deserved Mockery
Generation Z is famously facing more dire financial conditions than previous generations.
We hear that constantly, and I certainly don't deny that in many respects, they have gotten a raw deal. Housing prices are high, and the job market is not particularly aligned with the education they were told would set them up for a comfortable life.
These kids, after all, were convinced that a degree in Women's Studies and Gender Confusion was the path to prosperity as they agitated for a communist revolution.
But you have to admit, these kids have no financial sense. It's obvious when you look at how they spend their money.
It turns out that Generation Z loves to eat out and get food delivered, despite not having the financial means to sustain the lifestyle they feel entitled to. You and I, when younger, made macaroni and cheese, ramen, and inexpensive meals to extend our food dollar.
When this is pointed out, our favorite indeterminate age journalist explains that it is not their fault. As poor people, they don't have the capacity to actually make meals such as mac and cheese, spaghetti with Ragu, salad, fresh vegetables, hummus, or any of the cheaper foods you can pick up at any grocery store and spend a few minutes making.
They have no choice but to order avocado toast for delivery to their door.
