And student loans and healthcare and transportation

Who tf is upvoting this? It's highly unlikely this person has the acreage, time, equipment, and knowledge to grow all their own food.

Even if they did, it's not a real solution to the vast majority of people.

I think it's a cautionary tale against forcing women to have kids.

We need access to birth control, healthcare (including abortion), sex education, and quality education.

These horrible things cannot be hidden, just like war images shouldn't be hidden. This is reality and we can't turn a blind eye. We have to address real shit that happens in the real world to learn from it and get better. Or at least face the reality of the things we force people into.

Grocery shopping and food prep is always an option. Cheaper and healthier too.

If you have time to browse Lemmy, you got time to throw some shit in an air fryer/insta pot/slow cooker.

Jesus, it's like they want you to order online from a third party instead of paying them.

The argument I keep seeing against fast food being too expensive is "use the app! It's cheaper". Fuck that. I bought frozen junk food and an air fryer. McDonald's can keep their 15$ meals*

*Disclaimer that I don't actually know how much a meal is these days, but I know it's gone way up. Also, I do still buy from McD when I need to shit out a hangover. Sue me.

What are you seeing? I only see people happy with this, and one idiot making a comment about Loli

Wow, pretty happy I haven't been on Lemmy for a few weeks. Thanks for cracking down on that garbage

Agreed! The look on her face sells the joke

There's also a non zero amount of people that don't like being home. Whether it's the spouse or the kids they're avoiding, WFH makes it harder to avoid whatever is going on at home.

Just my gut feeling, but I'm gonna guess lots of c suite rich dudes would rather have a reason to be away from their wives and kids than being at home working. And there's no cute coworkers to creep on either if everyone is home!

I've had regular co-workers not leave the office early when everyone else was because they didn't want to "have to watch the kid(s) alone".

I didn't think about the "ambassador" angle. It probably is harder to get employees to drink the company koolaid when they're not physically in the office.
