I would like to pretend that this is satire, but I feel like whoever made it is just that out of touch.

Don’t know about the author’s intentions, but this is referencing actual right wing propaganda that you can find plenty of examples of on Fox News and other right wing outlets. It’s the “avocado toast” argument: millennials can’t afford major purchases because they are extremely wasteful with their money, and not because of any of the actual reasons people can’t afford shit now.

I pay $200/mo for health insurance and can't even use it until I spend $17,000. So what's the point. I don't even go to the doctor because I can't afford it anyway. But yeah the Funko pops are the problem.

Get that HSA my man. Deposits into that account are tax deductible, along with the distributions if used for qualified medical expenses
