Bill Maher has had enough of Gen Z complaining about costs.
On Friday’s Real Time, Maher raged against young people concerned over inflated costs. He referenced a viral debate about the “$20 burrito,” igniting by Turning Point USA sharing a student’s complaint about the cost of burritos.
Vice President JD Vance jabbed Washington Post columnist Marc Thiessen over his weight after Thiessen dismissed the cost concern.
Maher was not convinced of the “$20 burrito” and noted there have been increased wages along with increased costs.
He said:
It doesn’t. It costs $20 because this kid factored in somebody bringing it to him in an Uber. Yeah, you can get one for two dollars and you could buy it in the supermarket. And somebody said they feed a family of eight on $20 by buying ingredients like we used to do. This is from the Fed, okay? Two-thirds of Americans consider groceries to be unaffordable. Maybe they are, but wages rose in the last decade, including in the pandemic, 46%. Food prices rose 34%. So wages outpace them by the numbers.
Inflation hit a three-year high in May at 4.2% and it has since fallen to 3.5%. Americans have also faced increased costs, mostly at the pump, due to the ongoing Iran war. According to AAA, the national gas average is around $4.10, an increase from less than $3 before the first Iran strikes in late February.
Maher focused in on Gen Z on affordability, which covers people born between 1997 and 2012.
“Also, Gen Z. I never realized this until people started writing about it. As they reach their late 20s now, they’re getting much richer than Gen X was. Millennials and Gen Z at age 30, their net worth is around $118,000. Gen X’s was $53,000, like half of that,” he said. “But Gen X never complains. You gotta love those Gen Xs. They are the quietest f*cking church mice.”
