Thanks for watching guys ;)
you know the total opposite of this? lobster. it used to be garbage food and was used as the punishment food in prisons, now its really expensive.
@Sik In Tha Head! well it looks terrifying so id understand why it was punishment, also placebo
@Sik In Tha Head! I don't like seafood like that. Fish is it. Nothing else. So spending so much money on something I wouldn't use for anything is very much a punishment for me
@Sik In Tha Head! Considering it's basically a big water bug I can see why it was used as punishment. There used to be laws saying that they could only serve inmates lobsters 3 times per week, not more because it was considered inhumane.
Same for salmon. It used to be the cheap fish nobody wanted to eat during the Middle Ages.
Lobster isn't the only victim of this. Salmon and brown bread (since it took less work to mill the flour for it, as opposed to white bread) also used to be considered peasant food.
Is lobster good? I've never tasted it before. The closest thing is crab, which I really like
Nerd culture in general

Merchandise costs line twice as much as it used to
I save up money when i want something. But e be n then i might not be able to get it because of jacked up prices.
It’s just??? AH?????
Sorry, i love the stuff you make but i cant watch this, reason why is because it pisses me off so much for the reasons this stuff is expensive
It's not longer about the love of it. It's just pop culture bullshit now.
A pretty significant one to me is "Living in Hawaii." Rich people buy sacred Hawaiian land from the government, build their multimillion dollar homes and drive up the land value tenfold. Makes it hard for local people who have pretty low income to survive and live comfortably
Honestly fuck the rich.
Sad update to this comment with the fires.
@@ChaosAngel667yea this comment hits different now damn
That is wrong..
Happening in Puerto Rico too. They've even bought beaches and blocked the locals from even crossing it. It's the American way.
Funfact: John D Rockefeller once tried out lobster soup, which at that moment was almost discard meat, and liked it. Ever since lobster is a delicacy. So, yeah, rich people sudenly decicing things are no longer beneath them and making them unacessible to everyone is an all time thing.
Who's John D. Rockefeller?

I have also read that because petroleum oil was replacing whale oil he actually saved more whales than anyone else (and he might have saved more whales than all “Save the whales “ groups combined).
The whole punk clothing aesthetic. The whole reason that leather jackets and ripped jeans and such were so popular was that more people could find them in thrift shops and get them for cheap. Now they're expensive as all hell >:(
I know my cousin, hes really into that look and he bought one pair of ripped skinny jeans like $80 it's ridiculous.

When did rip jeans 👖 come back? 🤔 It was a dumb fad, 1980s & the early 1990s. I see it now & its lame. Just like black motorcycle jackets 🙄.
@@DavidLLambertmobile well that's your opinion 🤷🏽♀️some people like them tho and there's nothing wrong with that
And bot being able to find modest clothing for teens sucks. It's always a crop top, or short shorts.
Currently, grunge fashion. You're supposed to find old clothes that you make your own bomb designs on, and even customize your own shoes too. It was made due to garage bands not being able to afford other alt fashions. It was made to be affordable. Now you got pre-ripped fishnets, oversized shirts with skulls and everything on it for a whole bunch of money.
Thank god its still not dead. I can still get safety pins so im dying on the free and thrift hill... sadly thrift is being gentrified.
@@scythescythe884 I've seen a video about ThriftCon before and have never felt so angry. Disregarding the fashion and ideals behind it, the prices that are gonna go up is going to make it more difficult for a lot of poorer families to afford clothing
@@ange4154 then it'll have to be department stores or fast fashion labels
This applies to punk as well, pre patched jeans, vests and "old looking" jeans being sold for a higher price and ruining the whole purpose of what punk stands for
This was a big problem in the second half of the 90s too.
"Organic food" aka brown rice and brown sugar. My dad told me that, as a kid growing up in Puerto Rico during the '50s and '60s, white rice and white sugar was more expensive bc it was "purified" and brown sugar and brown rice was "poor people food".
White bread has been purified of all it's life sustaining nutrients 😂
We all know whole grain is much better for us but we are like meh tastes less like sugar
Minimum wage. It was introduced as the minimum someone would require to be able to afford a house and necessities and now its a stigma implying the person earning it is incapable of conscious thought.
ok commie
doesnt help that people intentionally use a minimum amount of effort to justify minimum wage.
@matthewbarabas3052 when a company can afford to pay what their staff is worth yet doesn't then the minimum is all they should expect. Insert image of McDonald's being ludicrously out of touch by lecturing their staff on the cost of living with numbers they evidently pulled out of their arse to justify not paying them better.
I remember wearing all thrift-store clothes in elementary and middle school and got called poor. Nowadays, those same people who bullied me are on Instagram/Snapchat showing off their thrift-store “hauls”. As a late teen/adult I always found myself getting clothes at my local Value Village and could only get maybe a shirt and pair of jeans unless I wanted to spend more than $30.
Sorry to hear that. Fuck them. They just never outgrown their need to feel elevated or be pretentious.
could get 3 pairs of jeans and 3 shirts around here for 30$ macys one shirt is 80$ jeans 150$... nope
The last time I went to a thrift store just buying two pairs of pants was around $40. Buying one pair of shorts alone at the Walmart I shop at was $23 in total.
So now I literally have to treat what clothing I have as a precious commodity because even trying to buy "cheap" clothes isn't so cheap anymore.
Ah yes the trendy "zero waste" movement, never trust people who show off too much in instagram
@@aeoligarlic4024 Idk about the "zero waste" stuff, I'm pretty sure they were just jumping on the thrifting bandwagon. But yeah, I wouldn't trust people like that either.
speaking a different language. for some reason, a non native english speaking person gets harassed and mocked for speaking in their mother tongue but yet with the upper classes, being able to speak more than one language fluently somehow conveys that you're a highly educated, cultured individual. i remember princess charlotte being bilingual at the age of 2 making headlines and needless to say it was so redundant because that applies to pretty much every infant child of an immigrant.
edit: let me reiterate. my point is that people shouldn’t be harassed for speaking their own language, i never said that they shouldn’t learn english. it doesn’t really have anything to do with it anyway because the fact remains that people, regardless of their english literacy and oral ability, still face linguistic discrimination
And its only cool on rich/famous people. The rest of us have to "go back to your country" smh.
To be fair, it's kind of impressive when a 2 year old can competently speak a single language, let alone 2. Little kids are like tiny drunk people, they don't always to the whole speaking thing so well.
Really depends on the country and the language in question. You can speak English just about anywhere and nobody will bat an eye. It’s mostly more exotic languages that tend to throw people off.
yeah fuck them for expecting to be able to communicate with you.
I speak both tagalog and english i learned english through barbie..
Man, I remember when I went to middle school I would get made fun of because all my clothes were from Goodwill and similar places because my mom would blow like 90% of our family's income on her failed house-flipping projects. Imagine unintentionally being 20 years ahead of the trend.
If you don’t know how to do the work yourself or have no idea what you are doing p flipping houses has kinda low margins

Yes, I don't get why old videogames are so fucking expensive! Thay are old, and have less content than new ones, yet are always so high (Don't get me wrong, I love old videogames). Luckily there's emulators.
@@Shrek_es_mi_pastor For some old games, it's because working copies of them are hard to find. For example, they may have only had limited runs, like the PS2 games Kuon and Rule of Rose, so finding one is extremely hard due to the small number in circulation that will only decrease over time.
For others? Yeah, definitely people bumping the prices up.
@@Shrek_es_mi_pastor not to mention with video games now you have to pay 30-60 more dollars to get the rest of the game on top of a $60 game.
Dlc for games now is pretty stupid
(I'm looking at you destiny 2 and any Ubisoft's games now)
Especially destiny when even though it's free to play now you still need to spend at least 40-$50 for all the dlc content

Yup we gonna eat literal shit sooner
@@werewolf4358 even in the west mcdonalds could be considered a fancy restaurant if you look at their prices
there is already gourmet ramen (though it's fresh ramen noodles). it's still 2-3x the price compared to japan even for the same (chain) brand. might have to do with cost of renting and ingredients too. What I laugh at is I heard some shops were selling "ramen" but using spaghetti and it seems like naive hipsters buying it.
Cheetos have a chance of becoming gourmet too because it’s being put into recipes, one of those recipes might become big just because Cheetos was in it and then Cheetos becomes expensive so they can make the most money out of it because of the people wanting to eat it.

I am an outdoorsman who enjoys hunting, camping and fishing, It amazes me that some of the basic and ancient human past times are now a rich man's game.
Yep. I totally agree. With hunting, all the land is being bought up to be leveled to build houses noone can afford pushing all available hunting onto public/state managed land (WMAs) orleaving only private hunting clubs, resorts, and private ranches that are expensive af to hunt on. And with fishing, it's a similar story in terms of access to a good fishing spot. Most is bought up leaving state run access points being the only thing left if you don't have a boat (this is true in fresh and saltwater)
That's actually not really 'new' in the sense that it's only a modern problem. Back in the late medieval period nobles owned the vast majority of land, including wilderness in many places in Europe, and they would strictly control who could hunt there and how much. Since peasants were usually restricted from being able to travel either financially or legally it meant that many people even back then didn't have access to hunting/fishing.
(As an important caveat: obviously this varied quite a bit from place to place as we're talking about an entire continent and a time period spanning a few hundred years, so the point is not to say that it was super like this everywhere at all times, just that this problem has existed before which is something I find interesting.)
@@werewolf4358 it is a newer problem in the US. When people think hunting and fishing in the US, some get imagery of poor country folks going into the woods/wilderness to put food on the table to supplement food costs.
In Europe, those problems were how things were for hundreds of years.
If y’all want hunting and just come to Mississippi😁
@@taylormccraw5998 Dont invite them, don't need city folk waving guns around. Leave the hunting to people who enjoy it, rather than who pays more.

As someone who doesn't get out much [Even pre-Covid], ComicCons are my only real world source of feeling like I belong somewhere. I live in a very small town with less than 8000 people, so finding other people that are interested in what I like should be easy, but it's not. I've lived here 12 years and never met anyone with an interest in the things I like.
But ComicCons.. Those are different.
In 2020, I was all set to go to a ComicCon in my hometown that was taking place on my birthday.
That didn't happen, obviously, and it crushed me.
To me ComicCons aren't just some nerd shopping spree, it was an entire environment where I felt like I finally fit in. It's a whole experience in itself every time I go, a memorable one that'll stick with me for years to come. I still remember my first one from 2014. I met Chuck Hüber.
I doubt ticket prices will go down after covid which is absolutely sucky for a lot of people. It's really going to deter people from going.
Though I hope I get to go to another one, some day. I miss the cosplay.
My con wasn't as packed but $40 for a box of pizza had us cackling $7 for a slice. The booths were not even bad price wise but humans have become more and more obnoxious. The wait in line for an autograph was 3+ hours depending on the celeb. 😭😰 I dropped my friends off and walked around and checked back in.
From what I've heard, weddings. Getting married apparently used to be a simple affair until the rich started to make it a huge event that became the standard. Then the diamond industry came in, and now it's an entire business where you're expected to drop the downpayment to a goddam house into a party that accomplishes something you could do for free.
Shakespeare
Used to be fairly low or just regular people theatre. Now is high art and the professional performances have tickets that are priced above what most poor people can afford
The original shakespear theater that was reconstructed still offers cheap standing seats.
That's why I love the free stage shows offered in the park here in the US. No tickets. No cost. Just a good fun listening to Shakespear and Greek plays.
300 dollars for Hamilton tickets for decent seats. Like really? I have the money but I am not spending 1200 dollars for family of four to go see it.
poor people do not like shakespeare lol just stop
@@FermentOG Yeah we do. I love Shakespeare.
5 dollars for a taco?! That's absurdly expensive, really, really absurdly expensive. In Mexico you can get a taco for anything from 10 cents to 75 cents and really expensive ones cost like 1 dolar or such. Even a big quesadilla don't tend to cost more than 2-2 and half dollars.
May I get a quesadilla the size of a pizza with every meat and some hot sauce topped with extra cheese? How much is that?
I guess it really depends on where you buy them. I live in southern texas, we have a huge hispanic population. Some of the absolute best and most authentic tasting tacos come from tiny run down looking restaurants or food trucks where the tacos will be around $1-2 at most, piping hot and insanely delicious. Stupid $5 per taco places like Torchy's or those in big chain restaurants are actually worst and don't taste nearly as authentic or fresh. It's so not worth the restaurant dine-in experience.
And they taste better in Mexico 😁
I don't go to any Mexican place that I don't see actual Mexicans patronizing. If I see only white people there, I'm out. If the Mexicans won't eat your Mexican food, something's very wrong, and the place is most likely just taking advantage of clueless suburbanites who'll pay ridiculous prices not knowing any better.
@@wareforcoin5780 least you have a brain I've met people who eat my moms food *we're Hispanic* and go, this doesn't taste like *so and so restaurant chain* well no shit its authentic not that processed crap

Not just rich people, but greedy businesses are also the culprit for why things are expensive today.
Everything is always just about making the most amount of money while spending the least
Business has always been greedy, it's only in the last few years or decades that people were willing to pay exorbitant prices for cheap crap.
Saying 'greedy businesses' has always confused me. What do people think business *are*? The whole point of a business is that it makes money, so saying a business is 'greedy' for doing everything it can to do exactly what it was created to do is like saying birds are morally reprehensible because they fly and therefore crash into airplanes.
@@werewolf4358 They are narcissists who literally think the business existed for them. So many are "waaa people also want to buy what I want it isn't fair!".

Retro gaming, especially since covid started. It wasn’t that long ago that I bought a ps1 from my local game store for $30. Now they are $100.

Foodies have basically ruined eating out
Now that it's "trendy" to eat certain foods, and in certain places, restaurants start selling these foods for a more expensive price.
Even food trucks are becoming way more expensive because food bloggers think they're trendy.
many years ago we want and try to make the "roadside food stall" have more value and become another tourist attraction, and then now be complaint about foodies trend make it more expensive. I so confuss with this society.
if you think they're too expensive and hate it because foodies trend, just eat another, or learn to cook.
Pizza hut also tried to rebrand themsleve to appeal the foodies, but failed.
And now everyone is doing muckbangs.
Not only that, but the food tastes shittier but looks better on Instagram.
I don't know if it's because they are complete dumbasses and don't realise or just don't care but it's infuriating every time there's a new food trend which makes the food suddenly tenfold in price for no damn reason other than the fact that some Instagram thot thought it was cool
Look up "Bigtop Burger: Zomburger"
Zomburger is the embodiment of the internet influencers ruining food trucks.
When my grandma bought her land on the river, ppl like her were called "River Rats" - she built a reallly nice multi-level house but it's being torn down now b/c massive mansions are replacing all the normal & small houses. She wanted to live on the river b/c she loved to swim & the river was wide & quick so pretty clean.
I used to rely on goodwill clothes and get called poor for wearing used things. Now that thrifting has become popular, the rich kids are taking advantage of thrift stores and wiping all the good stuff for themselves when they can afford new clothes. Also the resellers, I cannot express the amount of hatred I have for those people. Thrift stores are not meant for you to come in and steal all the good clothing just so you can resell it. I can never find anything good in thrift stores anymore because of inconsiderate assholes.
thats why you adapt, and find a different place to shop at.

Living in Florida, it used to be a mix of cultures were the bottom rung of the US all went until the military (especially in the 1800s) and real estate owners virtually annihilated any culture in the state and overworked the land for tourism that is unsustainable.
It's unlivable now unless you are rich, own a business or have connections. They keep building apartments that no one can afford and it just keeps going.
I currently live in Florida. It's not unliveable, but it's certainly not cheap and every time a lot gets bought up I cringe a bit. There's a subdivision being built down the road from my house where all the houses are apparently going for $900000. Not apartments, just basically huge mansion-type houses that no one can afford and just sit there until some rich old person decides it's good enough. A cheap 1 bedroom apartment is around $800 a month. The big problem is that anything that's anywhere near affordable is either demolished for mansions or bought up for overpriced rental houses.

So true about thrifts. I was going only in thrifts for everything except underwear along with my whole family, and I was always told to be silent about it. It was considered shameful and my grandmother always hid me behind herself when we were going there so no one would ever see me and associate me with thrifts. Now I see influencers posting thrift hauls, encouraging everyone to thrift because it's good for environment. And not like I don't agree. I'm happy for the people who do it. But the problem is, they're taking opportunities from people who can't actually AFFORD themselves anything else. You're taking clothes from those who don't have any other source. For every "oh look what a good quality/beautiful clothing I found there" is "oh damn oh sht I can't find the right size of a sweater for upcoming winter, guess I don't have a sweater anymore, well I still have a jacket I guess". Plus, the prices skyrocketed. I always bought clothes carefully (so if I have like, two pairs of trousers/jeans/whatever, I won't buy any more trousers), but now I can't afford buy basic necessities in a literal THRIFTS (and I can't find them often, too, thanks to people clearing out thrifts leaving only heavily damaged clothing and a very few sizes to choose from) without squeezing myself out. Sorry for my rant.
I agree. Was at my local charity thrift store today and a pair of pants are $8.25 Even if they were Walmart brand or Old Navy. Or not in good condition.
theres the expectation that you stop being poor with hard work and a lot of time. so....
Walmart brand sweatshirts that used to be $5 until instagram honeypots got their manicured hands on and walmart drove the price to $60-$100
Right! I was completely shocked that a pair of sweatpants at Walmart was about 45$. Like we wore these things because they were cheap. Now rich people are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to look poor
And I bet the quality is the exact same
Definitely mountain towns. A ski village with a population of a few hundred which used to be mostly ski resort employees now turned into massive air bnb with completely unaffordable housing costs. Now resorts are constantly short staffed and not worth commuting from the city.
Something really needs to be done about it. People who lived in my town for over 40 years and longer suddenly couldn't afford to live in town anymore. Housing prices skyrocketed, it became trendy and hipster, and the local community was utterly devastated in a way that it has not recovered.
Mine too. Can't drive anywhere cause of traffic. Can't go anywhere cause it's all blocked off now. Can't but anything to live in housing is out of control. Locals hate all of them.
Happened to all the lakes/hunting land in my area.
Air bnb is just a matter of time before the laws catch up and the entire industry collapses. The minute regulations sweep in the entire Air bnb industry will just cease to exist.
Yes, I live in tuscon arizona, the most snobbish people I have ever met are in the foothills, downtown, and people who go to university of Arizona. They act like they run the town.

Classical music. Guys like Mozart, Beethoven, and Chopin were the rock stars of their time and people would go just as crazy at their symphonies as people today do for rock bands.

@@michealdrake3421 thanks, I had forgotten who it was.😁
thats not accurate. Classical music had a long history of being something that was exclusively something for the rich due to the cost of pianos and the need for live performing artists in an economy where most people had yet to specialize and were still farmers. Classical music was always a rich person thing, and by the turn of the 19th century where the economy diversified enough to a point where the average joe could occasionally start going to professional concerts, avant-garde and jazz happened.
I don't know about other insturments, but some piano composers, such as Listz, wrote pieces that are so difficult you can snap piano strings playing them.
I remember attending cons when I was in high school, it used to be affordable, there’s lots of people but not too much to the point where you can’t see where you are going, and cosplaying is much more fun back then
I’ve always gotta cheap clothes off of eBay or a local thrift store, I remember the first time I saw a relatively popular girl from high school who always wore expensive brands in there and going “did she fall on hard times?” Then realized she was in there wearing a Nike sweater and American Eagle jeans with a nice pair of shoes and knew something was up. Went home and looked around online and found out thrifting was now trendy😂
Oysters, they were once cheap and common food in New York City, due to ships having loads of them stuck to their hulls

There's one thing I've taken from this. I'm gonna enjoy all the 'poor' stuff in my life because some day in the future a very stupid rich man will pay triple for the same thing.
Yeah I just got a dresser for like 300$ new and now it’s selling for like 600$ used because some influencer had it in their room or something like that
As one person said, you are the enjoy it until you can't afford it anymore.
Buy a bunch of “poor people stuff” now, and sell to a bunch of rich idiots later😂😂
Lobster was ruined cause of the Rich, I remember stories of how Lobster was considered the "Cockroach of the Sea" and that Native Americans used it as Fertilizer or Fish Bait, then the Settlers did the same thing
Well in fairness, I don't see something being used as fish bait and then being seen as a delicacy that humans eat that much of a "ruin".

I agree with everything. They've literally ruined the whole world in MULTIPLE ways. As someone who lives in a house of which over $160,000 is still owed and my family got it for $210,000 22 YEARS AGO AND LITERALLY CAN'T AFFORD WASTE MANAGEMENT AND TO GO GROCERY SHOPPING FOR FOOD EVERY WEEK, I'd consider myself in the very low fifth of the middle class, just above poor only because I have a roof over my head. The healthiest cheapest options there are around $2 (without tax). To pay for 2 weeks' worth of food buying that alone goes to about $112, and thats just for one person. I live in a family of 4. We've basically stopped shopping for food for the next 4 months so we could save up enough money for gas (transportation) and to pay what we can of our taxes and bills. They've ruined FOOD (including resturants and food trucks), CLOTHING, SHELTER/HOUSING, AND BASICALLY EVERYTHING.

What does this have to do with anything
Boracay Islands in the Philippines. Before it was voted best beach in the world.
If your a Filipino, going there used to be a place where you can have a fun cheap time in the Philippines.
The sea is a real, clear, teal, blue color (kinda like dropping food dye in the water) and sand so powdery white it was the whitest you'll ever see.
The food was once cheaply prepared by the locals with newly caught fishes, urchins and crustaceans with a side of coconuts and mangos.
There were hotels, but it wasn't extravagant just a simple place with lots of native furnishings and decor
Then it became a known tourist destination, all of a sudden commercialism destroyed the land.
What was once a big open beach became jammed pack with hotels, the locals who owned small businesses went bankrupt when Macdonald's and other clothing brands came, and the food quality diminished.
The Australians were rowdy and obnoxious, who flaunt their race and expect you to give a shit and serve them like royalty.
But the worst tourist were the Chinese, you'd expect them to be humble as they started from rags, but no they're worse racists than white people, and they dont even clean up after themselves. They trash the place like colonizers they claim they hate.
Ironically for the coastal owners climate change is destroying their hotels and restaurants, as much as I hate mother nature's wrath, I now have peace knowing our beautiful island will be restored
I decided to vacation to lesser known islands in the Philippines.
The champion thing shocked me to , when I was in school you got picked on for being poor when you wore it . Which BTW was true , but didn't bother me , we were poor .
Yeah I was shocked at the champion one too, I remember when champion was a good brand up there with Nike and reebok then it just kinda disappeared out of the sports stores and reappeared in the bargain stores but the quality wasn't the same and the price dropped so much even the shoplifters wouldn't go near the brand 💯
Thrift store shopping! It's starting to fall out of fashion or you have to find a really obscure store that's nowhere near a college campus or where wannabe influencers are. But when I started going when I was in my early years of college you can get some pretty nice things that were gently used for under $10. Then the Hipster crowd took over and started upcycling and things like that. And now you can't find anything nice anymore. And when you do if it's a really nice-looking there's a higher price for it and don't start me on vintage looking clothing at these places are especially close or near a college campus or upscale area. Then stores like the Buffalo Exchange came around which is literally a thrift store if hipsters are ran it where is all these old ratty looking clothes are being sold for $20 to $40 DX but recently I have been seeing more and more thrift stores having nicer and nicer things for under $10 but these stores are usually under different names and they don't advertise themselves as thrift stores but that's what they are. I think it's mainly to keep the hipsters and influencers away LOL

It's artificially inflated. Being a college professor was once a prestigious job but paid a normal wage one could retire on with frugal choices. Then ppl that grew up in college and never wanted to leave turned education into a large business, still not paying profs and forcing them to force students get books that they don't use, and partnering with financing firms to make education absurdly expensive.

Capitalism. There is your answer.
I don't mind rich people, but what grinds my gears are the pretentious types. The poor wanna be rich people, but can't afford actual rich-people stuff. So they take things around them and pretend it's for rich people only. They did it with Mac and Cheese.
Your mad at something you can't control
The wealthy-elite are mainly scum of the Earth trust fund kids. Yet many put them in annulted positions in their view. It may sound ironic. But I find most of the wealthy-elite are actually the most worthless of people. I actually make a very good amount of money now. However, I still drive the same vehicle I drove in 1996, live in an ordinary home, do everything myself and never higher a thieving, "professional," and buy used clothing. I am constantly repairing things, doing yard work, and modifying things so new clothing would be stupid. I learned to rely and myself when I made a low amount of money. When things got tremendously better, I continued to live the same. Depend only on yourself and start deleting people out of your life. Most of them, if not all of them, are simply in your way to a less stressful way to live. They are users, abusers, and will stab you in the back when they sense a moment of weakness.

Since I’m Mexican myself, seeing the one about Mexican food really hit home. Street tacos are like $2.75 where I’m from, mind you they are pretty small. My order is typically 7 to 10 tacos, and depending what meat you’re getting (chicken being the cheapest, al pastor or fajitas being the most pricey and the ones I get) and if you get multiple orders, you’ll easily spend $50 to $100 on just tacos wit 2 drinks
Mexican taco place opened up near me and tried charging silly prices for their food, they closed down after a year 💯

Close-to-the-city-villages: I grew up in a small village that was maybe 20 minutes away from a decently sized city. When I was young it was mostly farmers, and maybe some tradesmen like construction companies. A single school, a small store, and that was it. Then the more affluent people started moving in, looking for a quite place raise their kids. They started complaining about smells, about cowbells, about tractors driving around on sundays, didn't want their genius and pure offspring to play with the common scum... I've driven through there recently, and the village is basically a suburb now. Now there's hipster cafes, yoga studios, like 4 different schools with different buzzwords, and if it weren't for people walking their designer-dogs the streets would be empty. And realty prices are over 10 times as high as they were in the early 90s.

I remember when it was looked down upon to have clothes bought from Walmart. Like, if you had anything of a "lower quality" it was seen as Walmart brand and people made fun of you. Now it's trendy to look poor. I swear, I used to be able to go in and buy an entire wardrobe for around $200 including bras, panties, jeans, shorts, tanktops, socks, 3 pairs of shoes, sweaters, and t-shirts. Sometimes I'd even have enough left over from that to buy a few movies and cds. And this was money I saved all year to go restock from the year before. I would have worn all of my clothes completely out and went to get more. Now? One pack of t-shirts is $7, a pair of jeans is anywhere from $15-20 and a pair of flip-flops cost 12. Tennis shoes are even overpriced. Hell, even the candy bar at the checkout has jumped from $1 to $1.50 because of this crap. It's the rich wanting to stay rich and the other rich shrugging at raised prices and telling the rest of us to work harder. Fuck them.
One person mentioned flank steak for carne asada. There's an even more important influence -- London Broil. Flank steak used to be the cheapest cut because it was hard to cook it so it wasn't bubble gum. Then some jerk discovered poor people braising it low and slow, and stole the idea. He called braised flank steak "London Broil" and made it sound all fancy and high end, and what used to be trash meat that poor people bought for cheap started getting snapped up by fancy hotel restaurants for high prices.
Braising and cutting against the grain made flank steak edible and delicious, and rich people stole it. Now, poor people can't get it anymore.

Tha Air BNB thing was so bad, we had builders have you sign a contract you have to live in the house for 3 years and can not rent out the house or they will take the house back and sell it to another person. Reason being these empty houses with no one living in them for 5-10 months would drive down prices.
Buying second hand furniture. Rich chicks saw how creative and artistic average women could buy a $35 piece of furniture and use paint and a bunch a creativity to make it something beautiful for their house. So then the rich women put on their jeans and paint splattered t shirts and started going to buy that same $35 piece except they re-do it to feature it on their youtube channel so they can sell it to other rich women for $350 and call themselves "artists". So now when you try to buy second hand furniture it costs a small fortune so regular woman can't get it to re-do for their home anymore. UGH.
The lake I grew up loving was tranquil. Now it's filled with big big, boats big homes, seawalls. No plants for insects to fall off and eat, no shade for fish.

I know this is a 5 month old comment but there's a fucking BANGING documentary called "The Men Who Sell Football" which explains this phenomenon and the hyper-rich scumbags who facilitate these international acquisitions of clubs.
Came out a couple months ago, on Al Jazeera English funny enough (knew they did good middle east reporting but didn't know they did such good journalism in other areas).
Anyway, basically explains how billionaires trade football clubs to launder enourmous amounts of money, and brokers are more than happy to facilitate with zero regard for UEFA/FIFA/FA rules and UK and international laws.
Shit, they managed to get a man who *didn't exist* the promise of a Cypriot passport (which would change his name to hide his purported criminal convictions in China and get him EU Citizenship and the right to own property etc.) *from a member of the Cypriot Parliament.*
They also had this guy, Christopher Samuelson - the guy who helped Abramovich buy Chelsea - explaining how he could own Hull F.C. through a web of trusts owned by a master trust in Gibraltar so he wouldn't have to declare his identity to any of the organisations (the guy, had he existed, would've been illegible to own a club due to convictions for financial crime) and basically explaining all these ways he could break the law if he had enough money. He literally drew up an acquisition plan for Seville lmao.
It's just all so hilariously corrupt. I implore you to check out this documentary if you're interested in how association football is being corrupting by big money and becoming complicit in large-scale international money laundering.
It might sound outlandish but it's worth seeing for yourself. *Best* piece of journalism I've seen in a few years.
But yeah, it's clear to see how football is degrading into another cash-cow trading card game for the super-rich with a thin veneer of sport, and this documentary gives a very clear look into how that's happening and the people who are involved in it.
