40% of your weekly take home wages is cheap?
I'll take the US and its inflation.
If I were living in Russia and getting pa id US wages, that would be another story. But if I'm Russian, I'm walking around with my arse hanging out saying, "come on, I'm giving it up for free"

Tucker is embarrassing himself at this point
Libs calling him a traitor were certainly out of line, but honestly, the Putin's lap dog comment was pretty accurate.

Dem Government policy is an open order with massive subsidies to all comers? “Idiocy”much? The Russian People may be relatively poor and Putin is a ruthless oligarch but at least he defends their culture and people. Now that we know what our government was and has become over the past 50 years, it is not “idiocy” to abhor the vile corruption up in DC. Putin will laugh at our downfall.

Anyway he told me that once you get out of Moscow, Russia is a third world country. So go roughly 30 miles outside Moscow in any direction and you’re in a poor country with no infrastructure and services.
I dare you to walk 3 miles from our capitol building, Ill give you a map.
Walk 3 blocks above Bourbon, I dare you.
Go to most cities in the US at night. Go ahead.

I mean what places are groceries more expensive once you exchange the dollar? Switzerland?
There is a big misconception about "exchange rates". If the US dollar is worth 12 pesos and you can buy a beer in a bar in the US for 2 dollars that means you will pay 24 pesos for a beer in mexico, you wont get 6 beers for 2 bucks.

I’d be shot if I walk outside of New Orleans, Washington DC, or any other major demorat run big city including my own. In fact, the risk is almost as high within the city itself even at noon in broad daylight.

Putin does not give a shite about the " culture". He trolls us and you fools buy into it. He cares about staying in power and will do whatever he needs to accomplish it including killing people like Navalny and starting a war with Ukraine. The only culture he defends is keeping him and his oligarch friends...all 150 - 200 of them fat and rich

There was literally a shooting at the edge of the French Quarter the other day

Yep Russia’s economy is a bit smaller than the state of New York’s if I remember correctly
And it’s heavily weighted towards NG.
They don’t export much of anything in the way of manufactured goods outside of weapons.

OK. There was a shooting by the Canes and McDonald's in Mandeville recently as well. I'll still go there sometimes as well. Walking up to Rampart from Bourbon does not intimidate me in the least.
Maybe you need a testosterone shot to counter all the estrogen in your system?

The Russian propaganda isn’t even that good anymore. Hate to see what many would have swallowed back in the 60s.

You have no concerns casually walking around there after 9pm?
A decade ago I’m with you all the way, I’ve had a lot of fun over there… but the area has changed. The police aren’t in charge there anymore after dark and the criminals know it.
I’m not a “big city hater”, but if you walk through there the last couple years and don’t perceive danger you aren’t being situationally aware of your surroundings.

Done it several times....last time was about 2 months ago. There's a lot of activity in the area. Now, go above Armstrong Park, I'm with you on the danger. But Rampart Street.....I'd be more aware in Fat City.

Tucker and his crew all guessed it would be around $400, it was $103.82 USD.
If Tucker and his crew have to spend $400 to buy just one week's worth of groceries for a household of four, then they absolutely suck at grocery shopping.
Look, I like my steaks, and I work hard to be able to afford nice stuff every now and then, but if someone told me to go to HEB right now and load up on groceries for my household of four (which I have) to eat and wipe our butts for a week, I could do that with $103.82.
Does Tucker not know how to cook red beans & rice and rice & gravy?
Ground meat spaghetti?

Damn, I didn't realize so many people don't understand exchange rate and economics.
It's amazing how many people evidently never took ECON 101.

Reminds me of the movie The Interview.
