News media keeps painting "Americans can't afford _____ anymore" as "Americans choose to forego _____".

I think hybrid work is only a small part of the issue. if it was even remotely affordable id just lunch delivery rather than busting my ass cooking in the middle of the day but then i end up spending $20 + tax + tips + fees just to eat some mid food when it just takes a bit of effort to get some amazing homecooked food for cheap. if people do return to the office id bet people would pack their lunch until prices go down.

By $20 + tax + tips + fees, did you mean 5000 fucking dollars
