owiseedoubleyouLet them eat burgers! Austrian chancellor says low-income families should eat at McDonald’s
Sasuke [comrade/them]“So what does it mean that a child doesn’t get a hot meal in Austria? Do you know what the cheapest hot meal in Austria is? It’s not healthy, but it’s cheap: a hamburger at McDonald’s — €1.40, if I buy fries with it, €3.50. Now someone is seriously claiming that we live in a country where parents can’t afford this meal for their child,” he said.
“If I have too little money, I go to work more,” he added in the video, which was filmed during a wine-and-cheese event near Salzburg — with no burgers in sight — his conservative People’s Party confirmed to Plus24.
i hope he chokes to death on a piece of rotten cheese in his wine cave
space_comrade [he/him]Even disregarding this being a horrible choice for your child’s nutrition that’s a pretty horrible deal, you could get much more food by being cheap brands in the supermarket.
This guy is amazingly out of touch, normally EU politicians have the sense to refrain from such statements even if probably most of them believe the same.
lol, in my experience French conservative politicians are equally out of touch. They’re bourgeois fucks, they have no idea what a bus ticket costs. See this compilation from a few years ago
Pain au chocolat à 10 centimes, ticket de métro à 4 euros... Quand les politiques vivent dans un autre monde
Invité d'Europe 1, lundi, Jean-François Copé a évalué le prix d'un pain au chocolat à "10 ou 15 centimes". Mais ce n'est pas le premier politique à buter sur des questions de la vie quotidienne.
TheGreenGolem‘It’s one banana, Michael. What could it cost, $10?’
Or even better:
C.J.: It’s not that I wanna don a shroud, I just think the Polly-Anna act’s not wearing well. Sir, I’m worried that at some point avoidance starts to look like maybe we just haven’t noticed. We run the risk of appearing out of touch, like one of those President’s who doesn’t know the price of milk. Sir, do you know the price of milk?
BARTLET: Not precisely.
C.J.: Neither do I. Do any of us?
wel to be fair I don’t know the price of milk and I buy milk at the store. That’s not information I memorise
You probably know the ballpark. They have no idea what the correct order of magnitude is
it’s been harder since the ukraine war as things keep getting more and more expensive rapidly
library_napperMilk has up to 30% pus in it where I’m from (legal limit). Who buys that crap anyway?
Bananas are less than a dollar per pound.
What country is that?
I’d assume Malaysia (from the @monyet)
United States
WoofWoof91 [comrade/them]€3.50 every day would be €108.50 per month for a single person eating a single meal per day
that’s way more than i spend at the supermarket and i eat two meals per day that are way more filling and actually healthy lmao
NotErisma [they/them, any]Not unless I take that fuckin 1.40 burger and [REDACTED]
which was filmed during a wine-and-cheese event
Not sure this is indicative of anything, there are many countries where such events are not luxurious at all, neither is wine as a drink. Dunno about Austria.
I can almost assure you it was one of those gatherings of pretentious snobs that extend their pinky when sipping from their Château Latour.
If I have too little money, I go to work more
Something tells me this guy has never had a real job in his life
