    Really have to wonder why Democrats are increasingly seen as out of touch with the working class. That's as much money in one splurge as many families can afford to spend on food in an entire month.

      Idk how much that other shit costs cuz I don't drink or eat meat and cheese, but in a coastal area that produces shellfish, that's only $15 or so dollars of seafood which isn't unreasonable to split with three or four people. Assuming $10 for butter and lemons and stuff and $20 for meat and cheese it might not be more than $15-20 bucks apiece total if they're drinking cheap wine.

      'I wonder why we had such a hard time appealing to the working classes,' I ponder as I pour another glass from a $30 bottle of wine I bought for lunch. 'It must be because they're stupid racist dum dums.' I conclude as I carve into a loaf of artisan bread that cost as much as most people spend on a meal for a family of 4 and that I'll leave half of to go stale.

      Yeah but also that's not really very expensive. It looks more expensive than it really is.
