Yeah , airdrome are expensive but not * that * expensive .

Another day, another meme.

This one was started bymoderate/conservative columnistDavid Brooks, who posted a supposed $78 meal at Newark Airport with the caption, “This is why Americans think the economy is terrible.”

People on X quickly pointed out that the burger and fries cost about $17…not $78, therefore kinda ruining the whole “This is why Americans think the economy is terrible” thing.

Still, a meme was born.
