In 2026, Donald Trump and the Jews (by way of Iran) are the only acceptable excuses for why you're struggling financially. You have no responsibility for how you're doing, and it's definitely not the fault of how much money you spend on DoorDash delivery charges. That's where we're at it when people like Kevin O'Leary suggest people should spend money more wisely, and people like Sunny Hostin are unable to calm down about it.

I'm not even sure when the O'Leary clip is from. He's the new discourse where foreigners steal other people's past interviews with him and post them on X-Twitter as if they're new. An anonymous account from Lithuania is how we got the $25 lunch argument, which I'll revisit in a bit.

Here's what O'Leary says that Sunny was yakking about:

Most people, particularly working in metropolitan cities, making their first $60000, piss away about $15000 on stupid stuff. And that's what they would stop doing.

Sunny was most offended by his milquetoast, common-sense analysis:

It doesn't cost 99 cents to make lunch. It costs like $10 to buy eggs! So that's—he's so out of touch...

It cost me $2.99 for a dozen and half eggs literally yesterday, but go off Queen.

...because let's face it, he sold in 1999... he sold his software product to Mattel for $4.2 billion so I don't want to hear him telling me about the cost of living or the price of anything.

Right. This goes back to the $25 lunch debate on X-Twitter. There are people who think that because O'Leary has made a lot of money, he has no right to advise people how to make better use of their money based on how he made a lot of money.

This is what I've learned this week during the $25 lunch discourse. Calling someone by the wrong pronoun is less offensive to Gen Z than suggesting they make their own lunch. Meal prepping is literal war rationing. If you suggest that people make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, you should be arrested.

I'm also apparently malnourished, only eating chicken breast, roasted carrots, and a tossed salad for lunch every day instead of paying $25 for lunch at Chipotle.

And don't even suggest groceries.

Multiple things can be true. You could be struggling financially due to outside forces beyond your control. Also, you could be making dumb decisions with your money that cause you to struggle more than you have to. When someone who has done well for themselves makes a suggestion, listen or don't listen. That's up to you.

But don't lash out over the suggestion the $30 you just spent on Taco Bell could have been $10 cheaper if you went to the restaurant to pick it up yourself.
