yea they nailed it when they said the real issue was between these lists she talks about how there's hidden costs in not letting poors die horribly to save a couple bucks. Most of her list was fine, but hearing how much the lady who literally said 'uuuuh sure fire prevention would have absolutely saved lives, but what if they just got into a car crash later????' loves ~kitchen gadgets~ is rage inducing for me too and I'm a big nerdy cook who also loves gadgets.
It's not complicated: McArdle has the time and money to collect and use thousands of dollars in kitchen gadgets because she makes six figures to poo poo out occasional blog posts for which she does zero research. If she was just a movie reviewer or whatever, it would be one thing, but she is actively an evil piece of poo poo.

The language surrounding kitchen gadget reviews is always this breathless astonishment about how it's going to fundamentally change the way you make food.

I felt the segment was kind of weak and that her recommendations weren't abhorrent, but the real highlight was the dichotomy between her farting out 1000 words about how easy the homeless have it versus how the vitamix is the end all be all of kitchen blenders.

when they became common and easily handheld.

Also again the point of the mockery isn't "UGH KITCHEN STUFF" it's 'you've spent YEARS going from explaining how the poor shouldn't be given basic support because there's a terrible ROI on it to breathlessly explaining how people NEED a device to make perfect custards and it's never once occurred you're a lovely person?'

They should have pulled some choice quotes from her other articles to contrast instead of being utterly befuddled that you have to buy quality products if you want them to last. Putting it after the insane Segal material didn't help. It just fell flat as a segment.

Her suggestions that are good are also ones that anyone could make, much less someone who probably owns six figures in kitchen gadgets. Like, the utensils at Target are pretty good. Did you know that no no-stick coating lasts forever? An immersion blender is handy. I am by no means a great cook, and I don't have a great attention span, and these are all things I learned from my mother in spite of myself.
