I though this was just a problem around here (I live in a 3rd world country... not exactly, but close to that). Shit, I mean, I can't afford simple things, like cheese or vegetables... they're so fucking expensive now 😔.
EDIT: A short story. I got together with my cousin the other day, he was eating a burger and I asked him how much he paid for it, he said $3. I told him that I just bought a flash drive for $3, 32GB and I will use it in the next 3 or 4 years, while he'll shit that burger in a few hours...
I mean... tech has gotten so cheap, while food is so expensive now. You could get a brand new 240GB SSD for the price of 2kg of cheese around here 🤨... that is just... weird if you ask me...

Once you get used to it you don't even notice that you haven't eaten in 18 hours. Just drink more coffee.
