What was said
"Can't stand it when I see kids that are making 70 grand a year spending $28 for lunch. I mean, that's just stupid. It's just, think about that in the context of that being put into an index and making 8 to 10% a year for the next 50 years."
Shark Tank's Kevin O'Leary criticized workers earning $70,000 annually for spending $28 on lunch, calling them 'stupid' and comparing them to drug addicts. Dillon argues this represents wealthy executives' disconnect from reality, noting that grocery prices have also risen dramatically and that the criticism ignores the declining quality of life for American workers who can no longer enjoy even basic pleasures like a decent lunch break.
