    Not that it makes it a better argument, but the meme was that millennials were going out to restaurants for an 11$ latte and 15$ avocado toast instead of staying home for breakfast. The whole point, to them, was that coffee and avocado toast had some of the cheapest ingredients you could ever ask for.

      If you are struggling for money then doing that sort of shit regularly does sound dumb

        It’s the best way too argue. You take a situation that is very rare, but argues against the problem other people claim exists.

        Happens a lot for financial aid for poor people. Just find the person who takes advantage of a social plan and then claim a majority of people does that.

          Unfortunately I know quite a few people who are financially struggling and still spend money like that on small things here and there. Adds up.
