    Why is every politicians answer to everything “make the poor pay more money!”?

    If I go buy the ingredients to make cheeseburgers for my family nowadays, out will cost just as much as if I went to burger king to buy them. The so called junk food is many times the cheapest option. These fucks just want to kill off the poor with taxes

        Yeah but you’re missing the point. It costs the same, and I’m wrecked from work and don’t have time or energy to cook, so I’ll take the fast food every time

          How is BK cheaper, they are so expensive? It’s like 5.99 for a whopper. Or is this something like feeding your family the 280 calories saver burger which is £1.50?

            work requires long hours to get by

            doesn’t have the time to make food from scratch every day

            entirely their fault

            ???

            Not to mention the cost of electricity has skyrocketed in recent months, so cooking (esp. using an oven) is massively expensive.

            I cook my own stuff from scratch, but that’s because I have a job that I can work from home for, and that I can flex hours with. But I have the empathy to recognise that I’m privelaged in that regard.
