These days 'cheap fucks' is a euphemism for survival mode.
Cost of living is rising faster than our pay increases. Hell, we just got hit with a 40% increase with our Enbridge natural gas...translates to $400 more per year. Along with that our hydro is going up. Our city just approved a 9.4% increase in water & sewer rates. Gas companies are bending us over at the pumps on a daily basis.
Beef prices are soaring this summer due to last year's drought and cattle farmers cleared out much of their cattle inventory.
I can't blame consumers for being 'cheap fucks' these days. Necessity does what it has to.
