Is this meme trying to say that trying to scrape what little joy we can out of the world… is a bad thing?
People are able to do multiple things, just not necessarily at the same time. And most don’t have the mental or emotional fortitude to spend 100% of their time on fixing everything that’s wrong with the world.
£500/month car payments, £80/month phone, £125/month TV/streaming, £250/month takeaways.
Is this really just a treat? You could buy a house with that kind of money. I know real people with monthly expenses like that and justify it as a treat for themselves. Other than takeaways they are all used as endless subscriptions, when the car or phone is at the end of its payment period they get another one.
Years ago when the cost of living became a popular talking point, it started to be something the middle class noticed. I remember seeing people on the news crying that they couldn’t afford food - while earning 4x my income at the time.
Middle class, don’t even know how to be poor properly.

You seem angry. A treat to me is a cookie. I get them time to time. It’s lovely.
