    I wish I had enough money to build a factory in the USA. Instead I’m here struggling with the weekly increase in my grocery bill.

      Just like Gen Z fucked up by being in elementary school or even diapers instead of buying property in 2008. You’ve goofed by not building factories instead of eating, where’s your grind mentality?

      I could hear a handful of podcasts out there saying this unironically. Society is cooked

      Funny word, “grocery”. A bit older, but some people still use it.

        I don’t understand. I think it’s still used pretty widely. There is a chain called “grocery outlet” here in the northeast.

          It’s a reference to Trump going on about “groceries” - repeatedly. I think Jon Stewart had a bit on it.
