I remember when a pound of ground beef was $3-4, a package of chicken breast was $5-6 and you could get a package of 4 really nice steaks for $20

Russia has prices that are to die for.

Average annual salary in Russia is around 1,240,000 RUB, or approximately USD 14,771.

As of January 1, 2023, retirees in Russia received a gross pension of approximately 19.3 thousand Russian rubles on average, or 236 U.S. dollars per month at the exchange rate as of April 18, 202

Yeah, welcome to the Biden economy.

I was hammered last night and posting in the wrong threads...

Here's the thing why I think it will make sense $$$ wise....My goal is to keep my wife out of the grocery store...the budget for a family of 4 for a week should be around $200 yet she manages to drop $250+ at the store..I have no fucking clue what she is doing. This is @ Marinao's not Whole Foods so I don't get it........so if we do a meal plan that's ~ $100-120 a week...and I can keep her from the fucking grocery store, I'm going to come out ahead. I'll run and get minor items for breakfast/lunch/drinks....etc..

Also Russia average wage is $1,231/Month. The average government pension is Russia is $236/Month. 23% of the Russian population still use outhouses and don't have indoor plumbing/toilets. Russia is very poor outside of Moscow and Saint Petersburg.

Even the poorest in America have cell phones, food stamps, and access to internet.

You mean the Trump economy? 2017.

Someone is making money. I took a flight from Cairo to China, Egypt last year and more than 80% of my tour bus spoke Russian. I couldn't believe it. I thought Putin sent his goons to throw me from the mountain in the middle of the night.

Because you are stupid, maybe read some books educate yourself.

I would hope that any major European capital would have better dining and architecture than, like, St. Louis, Cincinnati, or Oklahoma City.

I'd stop at a Pizza Hut Classic restaurant if I was passing one. You can always tell a converted Taco Bell too.

1.5 million in america without plumbing

Less than half of 1 percent of total US population vs. 23% of the Russian population. If your poor I would prefer US vs Russia anyway. Unless you like living in the Siberia using leaves as toilet paper with little to no social safety net!

If you're poor, America is easily the best country.

Maybe Venezuela, cuz then you could “migrate” to America and live in some rich lady’s house in Boston.

Someone close to him has to tell him how bad he looks.

The future holds the possibility to be great or terrible, and since it has not yet occurred it remains simultaneously both.

I'm sure his career isn't ruined by this one trip, but it should be.

More greatness in Moscow. There are no limits.

Should it though? I mean, I'm reading a bunch of guys who have never been to Russia making authoritative statements denying the reporting of a guy who is actually in Russia. I say to myself, I'm not sure what the truth is, but obviously the people who have never been to Russia but have such strong opinions about it have been thoroughly informed or propagandized by someone. Again, I can't be sure which it is.

Do you have to see everything with your own eyes to determine if something is true?
