@@mk6022 If you watch the video, its because he compares it to the USD and how much USD is spent on groceries, he does not review how much an average russian makes annually. If he did a little extra research on the russian side when it comes to income he would have known, its not that he is detached, its that he left critical research and statistics out.

We only care when you stop serving us. If you stop serving us at 9:30 then your closing time is 9:30! Imagine if stores told you they open at 6:00 but when you show up at 6:10 they tell you they actually get there at 6:00 and it takes an hour to warm up the grills and get everything ready so they don't actually seat you or start serving you until 7:00.

Russian Pensioner: Free healthcare (Healthcare is free for all citizens) ~$400/month (Moscow) not to mention ~85% of Russians own their apartments so they do not have to worry about a foreign landlord kicking them out when they're 85 years old on a ventilator and unable to make rent payments. American Pensioner: No healthcare until you turn 65 and paid Medicare taxes for a minimum of 10 years, ~$943/month maximum regardless of income (not livable in 42 states hence the homeless situation) and virtually no one in the big cities owns their homes. The more you investigate it the more the homeless situation makes sense. The RU social safety net far outclasses the US. Other European countries provide the same benefits but the social security payments are significantly lower relative to individual purchasing power. Again causing a homeless crisis or emigration (usually to the US or South America).

I am Australian. The locking shopping cart wheels have existed here for a long time, not as long as obviously in Germany though, yet it likely has existed here for 20-30 years. As far as the idea of putting the coin into the cart to get the cart and return the cart, this isn't used by our two large domestic giant Woolworths and Coles, however the foreign supermarket brand Aldi that made it here from Germany uses this coin thing for the carts, so most Australians are familiar with this concept since Aldi was introduced to Australia since the early 2000's. I don't know about the USA obviously. I am an Australian living in Australia. But it feels like the coin thing is a European supermarket thing, and I don't think European supermarket chains likely made it big in the USA, so the coin thing very well may be unknown to the US public, just how it was unknown to Australians until Aldi came here. However as far as the locking shopping cart wheels on the escalator, surely that exists in the USA, I find it hard to believe that doesn't exist there, so the fact that Tucker became excited about that only tells me that Tucker is likely some upper class person who has almost never had to do food shopping for himself, which is why he seemed so out of place in general in the entire video.

I have 70 years of observation and finally feel qualified to weigh in. People are naturally averse to bad news and someone has to keep pushing. It has always been known that capitalism only works with regulations due to some greedy, underdeveloped people in positions of economic power. Only recently have people begun buying into business’ position that all regulations are oppressive and unconstitutional. That’s dangerous. Bonus round, since you’re interested in these financial and social issues. Why are the Jewish people accused of a lust for money? Early on, the Christian Churches declared it a sin to loan money for interest, taking the position that loans were a form of brotherly assistance, and ineligible for the profit motive. Christians immediately recruited Jewish brokers to handle and loan out their money, reasoning that the separation cleared them from the sin. It is a tradition that has endured for centuries, but over those centuries Christianity forgot how the situation came to be, were envious of Jewish success, and now are actually critical of Jews for a situation they created. So many people suck. But you’re on the right track, keep pointing out the bullshit because people have forgotten the reasons for many of the things we do, keep asking why.

as a swiss, I always find it funny when people are shocked about horse meat. it's a pretty normal thing to eat here and is considered pretty good meat

[@magistradox39]

As a German living in Canada I never ate and never will eat horse meat. My main food is red meat: beef, Moose, Elk.

[@jurgnobs1308]

@@magistradox39 horse meat is red meat, too. it has a slightly sweeter taste than beef

[@obi-ron]

As a Brit who used to buy the supermarket burgers that caused a scandal in the UK when it was discovered they contained some horsemeat, I could never understand all the fuss. The burgers tasted fine and were around for quite a while before the truth came out and there were no complaints, but if you said that to anyone they would look at you as if you had ridden the horse to the slaughterhouse yourself before tossing the corpse on the barbecue. 😊

[@jurgnobs1308]

@@obi-ron i mean selling stuff ubder a wrong label is pretty bad. but gere we even have old butchers stores that are completely specialised in horse meat and advertise as such lol

[@doctorkdsify]

It depends on the country. A girl I met in Sweden gave me a sandwich with horse meat about 50 years ago. Tasted just fine. In the USA horse meat is to feed dogs.

[@trevorjrooney]

Youre absolutely right, I don't have to work that long to pay for those things. But pistachios still cost an arm and a leg in America too.

[@nukeputin420]

Main difference is here in the US I can buy about 2.5 bags of pistachios with 1 hour of work.

I subbed immediately after your opening music! 👍🏼🥰 Your channel makes me remember a kid’s show on our Public Broadcasting Station, ‘Big Blue Marble.’ As we get older, and are influenced by our government, and our peers, we forget that Humans are pretty similar all over the World…usually kind, sometimes with a great sense of humor (Ivan!), and an understanding that if We all had the ability to communicate in a meaningful way, we’d probably all get along, for the most part. Stay safe!

[@armybeef68]

Yeah, and I used to get bullied because of that show, I was the fat kid in 7th grade and for PE I'd wear these blue sweats because I didn't want anybody seeing my fat legs, they'd laugh at me and call me the big blue marble.

[@MickeyMousePark]

excellent video..i wish every journalist when they complain about prices they should state the price in amount labor it takes to purchase it..this makes it a more fair comparison...

[@birdworldist]

Bro massive respect for this video!! Tucker is so embarrassing 😂 great stuff!

[@amandarusson547]

In the U.S. we don't have any 2nd floors at grocery stores, so we don't have a need to have a cart escalator. We have escalators at department stores/malls, which, as a child, you always feared they wanted to eat you once you got to the other end! There are some horror stories... 😱

[@joycecrouch8700]

There are grocery stores with 2 floors in the U.S.

[@d.e.b.b5788]

@@joycecrouch8700 It really depends on where you live. I'm 67, and I've lived in 7 different states, and still haven't seen any supermarkets with 2 floors. The country has always been very spread out.

[@JaredJonesAZ]

When I was a child sometime in the mid '90s, I went to a two-story grocery store in San Diego. I remember there being a cart escalator and not thinking that was novel or high tech in any way. Shopping there was annoying anyway due to the escalator bottleneck. I live in the center of Philadelphia now and there are several multi-story grocery stores near me. However, most people around here don't exclusively do massive suburban style food shopping trips, and supplement food staples with what's available at the corner stores and local specialty places (grocery, butcher, bakery, etc)

I’ve been to a few Targets that have two stories.

First time viewer here in Texas. Very enjoyable video. Thanks. (and Tucker Carlson is the worst example of an American there is)

Your English is very good better than some in the U.S.. Thank you for showing the truth, not that it would matter to Trump supporters.

[@-KRT-]

You got that right.

[@lucasc3651]

Biden supporters care about the truth. ☠ delete your YT account and stop making me pay for your EBT card.

Trump for PRISON 2024.

[@lucasc3651]

Yeah, because Biden supporters just love the truth. ☠ The YT censors supporting your candidate won't allow me to say anything further...see how that works?
