@@SteveInLava As helpful and sensible as the Marshall Plan was, it cannot be assumed that it had much to do with the fact that there are so many delicious types of bread in Germany. Not least because many of the recipes predate the Mayflower landing, but also because the plan only resulted in an annual increase in gross domestic product of around 0.5 percent per year for three years. ;-)
@@jakebarnes28 It's based on calculations by Prof. Barry Eichengreen, who I assume for the time being that he was not wrong, especially since you can at least roughly check the whole thing yourself: Germany accounted for 1.41 billion US dollars of the ERP, about 10 % of its total volume and GDP in the years in question was between around 50 and 75 billion US dollars. All figures are publicly available. However, the Marshall Plan was still extremely important because of its political signaling effect. The liberalization of intra-European trade and overseas trade with the USA, which was formulated as a condition, alone played a major role in Europe's rapid economic recovery. For the US, this investment also paid off quite quickly. Win-win, if you will.
At the same time, North American cities are full of European delis and bakeries because of the people from around the world. Youre probably eating Wonderbread

Finding a European style supermarket in Moscow (Russia), which is geographically, culturally, historically in Europe - Why would that be surprising to anyone?!? This type of supermarket (trolley system, in store bakery, etc.) can be found across various European countries…
It shows he doesn't do his own shopping in the US either. You find supermarkets like that everywhere across the US, yet he busts a nut over some bread? What grocery store doesn't have a bakery with tons of fresh bread? And the fact he thinks the average person spends $400 for a WEEK of groceries proves how out of touch he is. I'd love to see someone go to a grocery store by his house & reenact all the stupidity he showed here.
you would be surprised. I live in Romania so not far away, and was called putinist by several people when pointing out at the beginning that Russia will never hunger unless artificially enduced, since they are a huge food producer. Many people are convinced Russia is basically North Korea, and only survived because Europe provided it with everything. Which is true in some domains, but not in many more.
You can go to any freakin big-box store in Amerca even the cheap ones and they all have a cart-escalator these days, too-- Tucker is just a wealthy little Lord Fontlaroy who inherited millions and has never had to dirty his own hands doing his shopping before a single day in his life, so it is literally ALL new to him....
@@Алена-ь5ы7ч it's in Moscow, of course it looks like that. Compare the supermarket in the wealthy area of town to the incredibly poor area, there's a big difference wherever you live.
I’m a multimillionaire American in Russia. I saved 30 bucks on my weekly groceries!!! I’m overly impressed at the shopping cart return system that’s exactly the same as Aldi(a super discount grocery store) has had for 30 years but I’m ignorant of that because I never have to shop at Aldi because I’m not poor. Yup that’s Tucker’s hard hitting journalism in Russia.
@@bodyloverz30 you are crazy if you think that, they are super common in the midwest, like in chicago alone there are 11. and in Milwaukee there are 16 within 20 miles of the center.
Common sense is another thing that seems to be rare in " we are number 1" country and the documentary show "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" really shows how ordinary people live in America
Also the shopping cart escalator- our local Safeway in a midsized Canadian city has had one for at least the ten years I've been living here. He's never shopped for groceries in his privileged life.
As an American, I think there are two things going on here: 1) Tucker has never left the states--like most Americans. Americans build out, they don't build up. So the first time I ever saw an escalator for shopping carts was four years ago when I left america. Same with the shopping cart coin lock--also everywhere abroad but not in America. The other thing 2) Tucker is too rich to go into a grocery store and shop for himself. He must have his servant or someone do it. Also, $100 US for a week's worth of groceries is a out what I paid when I lived in the states so unless things have REALLY ballooned out of control over there, it seems on par for a normal person. How much does Tucker actually pay for HIS groceries every week? That's what I want to know. What does that piece of shit buy that he thinks is "normal"?
It's not that. Tucker knows what he's doing. He's trying to romanticize Russia which is popular with the more populist conservative wing. Look at the conservative Canadian family who moved to Russia because they want to escape 'wokeness' in the west. Funny enough they posted a video about their negative experiences since arriving in the country and the kremlin contacted them to remove the video 'or else'. I guess they must sorely miss freedom of expression in the west.
These are some of the most unimportant issues ever discussed n this platform! Also displaces the phrase any exposure is good exposure? Is that how Americans say?
Tucker spent $104. for a week of groceries. Average salary is $200 -$300 a month, utilities just went up because of the heating/freezing fiasco. Gas just skyrocketed and food prices are still rising. Health, Education and Social Services got drastically cut when russia went on war footing. Plus all the factories burning means many russians have now lost their jobs. Pensioners get $150 a MONTH in russia. Republicans in USA are welcome to move to Moscow now.
Average salary 200-300? Maybe some unofficial jobs in remote villages. 1000$+ is pretty ok for Russia, and there’s really small amount of people who gets less than 500, and it’s pretty real to earn 2000+
Tucker thinking $400 is the "average" amount American spends on groceries per WEEK blows my mind. It just shows what kind of world HE lives in compared to someone like me. If I'm spending $100 on groceries for the week, then things are going well & I'm set. But $400??? HELL NO. And maybe he should visit places outside of Moscow to see how people are living? I may not be the most well-traveled person ever, but something tells me pointing to a country's nicest city & extrapolating that standard of living to everyone else isn't exactly the most accurate way to determine overall economic health.
What doesn't help us when the doomer comments come out of the woodwork to reinforce Tucker's comments by doom dumping about skyrocketing food/gas prices and poor quality of life and act like it's representative of the whole country. No shit you people are seeing skyrocketing prices, half of you live in expensive shit hole cities like LA and Chicago. I'm doing fine in my area. Our country has plenty of problems and our leaders are dimwits, but Christ Almighty it's not apocalyptic. It can be fixed.

@@sitara68 Oui… A national treasure lol. Russia is the second country with the most Auchan stores, behind France. They don’t face any consequences, only petitions and bad press for now.
@@n0rmal953 What makes you think the French are still running that place? It's run by russians and sells russian made good. It's food stuff, it grows in the ground and on trees, not just in France. And every big western food manufacturer built factories there in better days. These factories are still there, are run by russians and use russian grown raw materials. No way on earth you can stop that.
Dude, he just made shopping of about 9000+ rubbles. Given what you said, the minimum wage in Russia being around 20,000 rubbles, the shopping he just made supposedly for a week, you can only live for 2 weeks or so (probably even way less depending on where you are) off that wage? That's also not taking in account any other "small and insignificant" expenses, like rent, bills, clothes, taxes of all sorts, medical things like insurance, hygiene stuff and other daily life related things. That's a nightmare! Edited for a more precise and realistic approach.
@@Meem_Begorski I have "the feeling" that not so many Russians, in Russia now, go too much over 20,000 rubbles. In places like Moscow or St. Petersburg, there's no chance on earth you manage with that type of salary.
@@shatzinorris1417 you don't manage even in a village living in a shack with that 20,000 rubbles salary man. I call bullshit on anyone who says they are ok with it.

"Grampa, why is there a giant statue of Tucker Carlson?" -"Well you see, back in '24 all the people of the world united in the shared belief that Tucker Carlson was an idiot. That unity lead to the world peace that we have today."
He must have been rich his entire life. In the states we have carts like that in some places. Especially south of where Tucker is from in LA. Looks like he has had someone shopping for him for a very long time now. This does not shock me.
I’ve never seen shopping carts like that at the grocery store in the states, but I could see it being more prevalent on the East Coast in high crime areas. Not seen any in Tx, az, or Nm…nm could use them😂
We have them in lots of supermarkets in Canada, but dollar coins are more common here and they require a dollar. I think it's less common for Americans to carry change so maybe that's why it's not as prevalent in the U.S.?

Sanctions aren't supposed to affect snickers bars and razor blades, they are meant to slow down the production of military equipment and weapons first and foremost.
Да, но Кока-Кола, Икея и прочие компании не связанные с военной сферой ушли и прекратили свою деятельность на территории России. Если Икея не поставляет в вооружённые силы РФ стулья и столы для штабов, то не вижу смысла их действию. Конечно, тут может быть вопрос морали, и компании просто не хотят зарабатывать в стране начавшей военные действия против другой страны, но тогда почему эти же компании не поступают точно также с Израилем? В общем нет здесь никакой морали, а простой приказ/рекомендация вышестоящих органов государственной власти, которая в любой момент может пресечь работу частного бизнеса даже компании международного уровня.
Well yes. However it bothers me the amount of loopholes left over and just now, after Avdivka has fallen, they're thinking about closing them. Also China benefits from having Russia as buffer, so throwing them a lifeline benefits the CCP in the long run
@@cheesium238 на счет Китая. Было мнение у наших представителей левого движения, что Навальный если бы сумел взять власть, то будучи европоцентризким националистом (если что, то Навальный свою политическую карьеру начал с ультраправых взглядов), то ради обещаний Запада начал бы широкую конфронтацию (пускай только торгово-экономическую) против Китая на радость США.
@@MasterBot98 Also, the "West" as a whole isn't imposing sanctions, anyway, since it's up to individual countries (like the United States) to enact these kinds of laws.
Yup. It's insane how many people think the west cares about sanctioning food. The legalese is available online. They literally make the effort to add loopholes so food and medicine aren't unnecessarily impacted by sanctions.
Also we have grooved escalators too, the wheels of the trolley lock into the grooves so your trolley doesn't start rolling back down with you and knocking others taking the escalator behind you, pretty much common sense. I can't tell if Tucker is out of touch with avarage Americans that he hasn't seen them or if America generally doesn't have these things, either way Tucker is a propagandist and should not be taken seriously by anyone.
I'm from Turkey and our shopping carts are also like that where you have to insert a 1 Lira coin and the cart will detatch from it's lock. Tucker is dense as shit.
@@donkeydik2602Well... Yeah. Other stores hire people to literally collect the carts all the time. We pay for baggers and cart collectors with higher prices in the store.
Average monthly income percentage spending on groceries in the US is ≈7%, In Western Europe it’s about 10-15% and in Russia it’s over 30% (2021 numbers, but due to global inflation the margins are still there today) Tucker obviously knows this, but his boomer viewers he can make money off and manipulate doesn’t, they will just blame Brandon 😅
Yeah Tucker with the never ending questions all of which are easily answered for a journalist if they just spent 30 seconds thinking about it, but any real answers would of course defeat what he's trying to accomplish with his questioning. The best thing is of course that eternal confused dog look he's got plastered on his face.
@@dzonikg Considering that the average minimum wage salary in Russia is about 240$ per month, and the average Russian salary per month is about 600$ (and the average rent in a Russian city center for a 1 bedroom apartment is 400$ or 270$ outside the city center according to Numbeo) I highly doubt that you spend less than 50%, let alone 1% of your income on housing/rent. If excluding extremely expensive and among the most attractive global cities like London, NYC, Amsterdam, San Fransisco etc most average people wouldn’t afford (Just like most provincial Russians couldn’t even dream of moving to Moscow or SPB) - I would say housing/rent costs as percentage of average income is fairly similar in Russia vs the West. If not a bit higher in Russia. But this obviously depends on where in the country you live, what type of housing you are in and how much you make between minimum wage vs average wage. And the real metric showcasing total living costs vs income (disposable income) clearly shows that westerners have significantly more money to save or spend after rent, groceries, utilities and taxes has been paid adjusted for average income - AKA Russians are living significantly more “paycheck to paycheck” than western countries with all expenses taken in to account.
@@Fluxwuxhousing market prices are very elastic to income, which is why in any place in the world the rent/mortgage to income ratio will be roughly the same.
This might be the first time in Tucker's life he was in a supermarket, having grown up an heir to a frozen food mogul . His amazement is sincere. Now he sees what his servants deal with every day. Next? Visit a Piatorichka for a real taste of Russian life.
Similarly as our former Czech president Václav Klaus who found out in his 80s that supermarkets have more than 2 kinds of yoghurt and it was a shock for him. 😀 Or our today prime minister when he finally realized that food here in Czechia cost twice price of what it costs in Germany or Poland, everyone is talking about that for years how they cheat us and when he visits German or Polish supermarket, he is like "wow, it's so much chepaer here!" Such "captain obvious" moments. These people are completely cutted off reality.
really? how obtuse are all of you? the all point was just to show that the sanctions have clearly not affected russia as the media are trying to portrait.
There have been 0 sanctions against foodstuff. So of course “the sanctions dont work” because there are none. We dont want russia to starve. We want them to not produce rockets and tanks. And we blocade industry related to that.
In Russia, it looks like you spend 1/2 your paycheck on groceries. In America, it's more like 1/10. I don't know how Russians can be satified with that.
В Америке все остальное уходит на налоги и медицину? В России налоги 13%, медицина в основном, бесплатная - включая и операции, но есть и частная, платная, можно выбирать. Причем , государственная зачастую лучше. Но даже платная намного дешевле, чем в США. И к врачу попадешь в тот же день, ну, если узкий специалист, возможно, придется записаться на ближайшее время, в течение недели. К нам из Америки ездят лечить зубы, потому что стоматология у нас тоже намного дешевле и лучше. У нас, по сравнению с вами, очень дешёвый более быстрый интернет. Бесплатное образование. 90% россиян имеют собственное жилье и абсолютно никто не живёт в коробках или трейлерах. И ещё. Карлсон пошел в довольно дорогой магазин и купил дурацкий набор продуктов. За ту же сумму можно купить в три раза больше продуктов и куда лучшие. И у нас мало кто ест Сникерсы и Марсы - это мусор, а не еда. Российские сладости намного лучше и полезнее. Даже Кола российского производства лучше.
here are some fun facts about groceries in Russia: since summer of 2023 cucumbers have become like 40-50% more expensive and some of them now cost as much as chicken. egg prices also grew by around 50% last year and that created a wave of memes "hey government, how are your eggs?" cuz "eggs" is a slang for "testicles" in russian.
@@Thixico thanks, now I can feel the power of the Internet: I'm discussing how testicles are called in different languages with people I'll never see. Quite a unique experience lmao
You have to realize that Tucker Carlson probably doesn't ever go to a supermarket. He is at the income level where he has people who do that sort of thing for him. Many stores have the coin-deposit carts. Most of them have electronic wheels that lock up when the cart is taken outside of the parking lot though. People stealing carts used to be a big problem for stores. Yes, homeless people in the US do steal the carts, when they can. I have also seen the escalators that have grooves that the cart wheels fit into. Every IKEA store has those, for example. Tucker doesn't get around much.
I did not get the point in the video. You can take the cart if you have a coin. Nobody is blocking you to steal them. It's just a motivation to bring the cart back and don't leave it in tha parking area.
Tucker really though that 100$ grocery shopping sounds like a utopia, had he shopped in an Indonesian supermarket he would’ve probably got a heart attack (you’ll probably get all the stuffs he bought there for around 20$)
In brazil we have a 1200 minimum wage (55.7% earn less then that but we will ignore that part) we pay 376 on average on super maket for roughtly Basic life needs, 80% of the rest goes for taxes loool
In America an average shopping trip for a week can go for upwards of $300 and that's on a minimum wage salary of $2100 per month. Rent is on average $1700-2000 for a studio or single bedroom in most cities nowadays.
@@digitalxrealism your telling me yall waste 100 USD on freacking dish cleaning products? Yeah thats not what i hear on quite litterally every american dude out there.

Like in brazil we earn everything but the money, because pretty much everything goes to pay the debts, in the USA yall get nothing or are forced to pay rent???
as an obligatory dick measuring contest for SEA, I will say that $20 is more basically the standard here and I cannot really say Filipinos can even go beyond $20 per month for daily necessities if not for the constant price freezing and changes on logistics.
We have ALDI in the US and every single ALDI has a $0.25 cart deposit, and we've all been to IKEA and they also have a cart escalator. Tucker has no idea what a self own this is, it just tells me he's never done his own shopping in his pampered life.
Those are both European companies. Many Americans have never stepped foot in an ALDI before, I imagine same goes for Tucker. The vast majority of stores in America do not require a coin to use a shopping cart.

@@RedtoboxThere are no sanctions on food or other supermarket items, this is just the typical Russian spin of "sanctions aren't even working, lol!" while simultaneously trying to pressure the West into lifting the sanctions. Why would Russia care so much about the sanctions, if they weren't doing anything?
Tucker was the perfect person to bring to russia. Dude doesn't even know Cyryllic and can't distinguish between flour and sugar. Never seen a package lol
There are two possibilities in terms of Tucker's comments regarding the cost of his grocery store trip: 1. He understands full well that what he is purchasing is incredibly expensive for a typical Russian, and he's just being disingenuous, or, 2. He actually doesn't understand basic math and cannot appreciate the disparity in wages between his home country and Russia. Or, hidden 3rd option: the logic centre of his brain shut down when he saw that beautiful, beautiful bread and had a massive hormone and endorphin dump. Sidebar: when I saw the "Tucker in Russia" videos online, I was eagerly awaiting all the hot takes from Roman.
Tucker Carlson has always been an average malicious journalist, nowhere near CNN bad but still did not help deescalate rising situations during 2016 elections. After he got fired from Fox News he must have simply decided to evilmax and suck off Russia.
He's actively being disengenous because he and people like him desperately, desperately wish that the US was a fucked up kleptocracy with a sham democracy like Russia
What makes it even funnier is the fact that I'm fairly certain that Tucker has never visited a grocery store in his life. He's the epitome of Rich. His family owns the Swanson frozen foods line and is very rich from that. Which I think is why he's amazed at the coin operated shopping carts that have been around in Aldi's for decades. Most stores in the US do not do this. There's other anti-theft deterrents but largely you just go and get a cart and shop. Aldi, being a EU store though kind of brought that to the US. Edit: To answer the question about how good the bread is there. As a US person that has traveled abroad to EU, whenever I jump the pond, I cant wait for the bread. Unsure how or why bread is so crappy here in the US....it's crappy *and* very expensive. But getting over to the UK or Germany, breads are cheap, fresh, and so damned good. So I can *almost* understand Tucker's fascination with the quality breads there. I would imagine Russia has similar baking standards and practices as the EU. And it doesnt even seem to be unique to "the West" as I've heard many middle eastern countries are similar with their breads. Edit 2: With how large Russia is and the serious diversity of lands in all the provinces and such, I would be shocked if Russia relied heavily on outside imports to produce their foods. So, unless there was a really bad crop or something I wouldnt expect shelves in stores to be empty these days. I think the biggest impact would be some foreign products, such as Coke or something to be scarce or expensive vs pre-sanctions.
American bread has additives that are banned in the rest of the world to keep American bread fresh, American bread has a additive that comes from bird feathers, here in Ireland bread only lasts a few days and my family will only use it for toast after 2 days, the bread we buy is made fresh every day in Lidl called Brennans crusty white bread 800g and you have to cut it yourself, it's goes stale after 2 days and is only 2.59 euros, we won't eat bread when in American unless some sourdough because most of it just tastes sweet to us and in fact it would be classed as cake here in Ireland because of the sugar content of American bread, subway got upset because the government classed its bread as cake when they first opened in Dublin
@@dogwhistle8836 this isnt the same across the board, and yes there are some preservatives used in the commercially produced and packaged breads. But even the fresh baked bakery breads where it gets stale after a day or 2, it's expensive and while better than the commercial breads is just not the same as I find across the pond. Very hard to articulate and using the "americans use additives" is complete garbage. Yes, if you're comparing wonder bread in the store vs an actual bakery that's the only time that comes into play.
@@DGPHolyHandgrenadeaditives are defo a thing, but more importantly sugar, and ofc the flour itself, i've heard, heard, can't confirm that a lot of filler is used instead of flour, even heard stories about sawdust, from americans themselves, but could be the type of wheat, the processing etc, maybe for mass production they process something differently, some modified yeast or something, i can't say, but i do know that bread is one of rare things all americans will agree that it suckcs comparatively, similar with chocolate, but that is the processing of milk that makes american chocolate tastes different than here, but bread is objectively worse. As for middle east, yeah ofc they are good, the best in the world probably, their entire culture for thousands of years revolves about it, and yeast is usually the afterthought there..
I want to say the coin thing used to be thing with the heavy duty baggage carts at airports in the US, granted this was decades ago and before most luggage had 2-4 wheels, and way before being incentives to not bring checked luggage.
Love from Germany. I'm laughing through this video, it's hilarious. Tucker Carlson seems to be a "clueless at everything" American. It's like a sketch show or something. He's his own caricature. Untoppable humor almost 😂
Yeah well, not too long ago, I seen some Germans in a Walmart. They were having similar reactions as Tucker. I don't know what it is about euros wanting to go to Walmart, especially looking at the guns, but it is strange. I also see Euros taking pictures of themselves next to cactus too. If they are happy, then good for them.
Tucker Carlson: 'Maybe ideology doesn't matter if people can't even afford their groceries.' Also Tucker: Against minimum wage, against publicly funded healthcare, against student loan forgiveness. So what is it, Tucker? Do you want people to afford living, or do you not want to take any meaningful measures to alleviate the financial burdens of people?
@@rebeccap1441 problem is that Russians do not use dollars in the domestic market and they have a phenomenally low public debt compared to Western countries.

Barely any food has been put under sanctions, it just doesn't happen with any other country as well. Sanctions are about tech and material to build weapons, not food.
There is a hypermarket called Auchan in my hometown, Strasbourg in France (the closest is Auchan Hautepierre, there is a second one in Illkirch, south of Strasbourg). Auchan is present in Russia and Ukraine too (like Leroy Merlin). Seeing Tucker Carlson being amazed by a French supermarket in Moscow makes me smile. When I go ti Auchan, I'm not amazed. I just do my shopping. Don't the Americans know what a supermarket or hypermarket is ? It would be weird...
@@laptinek5753 Sorry, Walmart is actually a supermarket or hypermarket. You are right. But the way Tucker Carlson has been amazed made me think he has never been in a supermarket in his whole life.
Probably his first time in a grocery store abroad. Europe is the best place for bread. The US has "bread". And what the fluffy stuff they sell as bread in Asia definitely isn't bread. Different countries, different food. $100 for a week's food sounds about right for a typical family in most countries in eastern Europe if they avoid really expensive stuff, but wages in Russia are about half that of EU eastern Europe countries.
i want to see tucker in other countries. i want a netflix series. india, chile, turkey, japan, china, south africa... it's like that show about kids going shopping but with an ignorant grown man. absolute gold.
I have to be honest... I found your channel because I used to be obsessed with international grocery-shop videos. I'm pretty sure I landed on Niki Proshin's channel and that led me here so many moons ago. Thanks to UA-cam, a lot of us ignorant westerners got to see what life abroad was like.
I've never seen a shopping cart that required a coin deposit. People do steal shopping carts, so that is true. Homeless and also people that live in apartments steal the shopping carts. Grocery stores hire people to track down the shopping carts and return those to the stores. A coin deposit would not stop that though. No one is going to walk a mile or more back to a store for a 25 cent or whatever deposit refund.
I also live in Sweden, but I have to admit I've yet to see an escalator inside a grocery store. Every ICA, Coop or Willy's I've been in has always been on a single story (of varying size). Maybe it's a thing in Stockholm somewhere.
“Yeah, just a typical weekly shopping trip for a family of 4. Bread, cereal, cookies, and wine! Can’t wait to make my famous boozy carb casserole and all the fixings, which only costs half my monthly income! We’re super healthy because after we eat it, we practice intermittent fasting for the rest of the month!”
I like how Russia has a shopping center named after the first man in space (Gagarinskii). Why don’t we have an Armstrong’s chain here in the US?!? This is the question that Tucker should really be exploring!
Honestly, you could probably make a reality show with half of the on air personalities in the US just sending them to experience normal people and places in America. Would be an unending tour of delight, amazement and radiacalizing.
I work as a grocery broker in the US and i can tell you the reason its going up so fast is in part because of inflation, but brands take inflation as an opportunity to increase their margins and make it seem like inflation is larger. It fills me with rage when i get the updated costs and msrps and i see the costs go up by 1% and the msrps by 7+%.
@@tday891 not a bad deal, but keep in mind if a brand advertises steroid, antibiotic and hormone free chicken thats not a great sign because those are requirements for chicken to be sold in the US. Kinda like saying your brand of bottled water doesnt contain pond scum

As a non-German I feel insulted by the fact that GERMANY is still a thing after the horrors of Nazism. Every time Russia sneezes, the Western World feels outraged. Germany, in just 10 years of Nazism, did what it did, including barbaric and systematic murders and even medical experiments on CHILDREN, and it's like... Nothing.... f*cking... happened. Oh now, I forgot. It's PALESTINIANS who pay the price for Nazism! And now Germany rules Europe AGAIN, through the EU, with the usual imperialist arrogance. What a parasitic cancer, Germany is. Always was, since the Roman Empire. I wish more people would realize that. Specially in Southern Europe.
It is not the same, bread quality in US is worse and a good one costs good money, in Russia it is the opposite. Taste of bread is better and more healthy choices like we call them the black bread. Food quality in Russia and especially dairy products are on another level, it is just the fact.
@@floydlooney6837 Not more than Germany or France, that I bet. You grossly overestimate the variety of bread there is in the US. Also he's talking about quality not quantity
@@floydlooney6837plenty of videos of US expats in the UK say how much better UK bread is than US and a far bigger selection. The US food quality is overall much worse than Europe with too many additives banned in Europe and an over reliance on chemicals as a substitute for good hygiene practices. You are just talking rubbish, probably never left your home town. 😂
As you said, Tucker has never been to an Aldi Food Market in America where shoppers deposit a quarter to unlock a shopping cart for the same reason so that people instinctively return the cart into their locked position and get their quarter back. The store doesn't have people gather carts all over the parking lot.
@@JuniversalDon't be so harsh on Tucker. Someone has to be a useful idiot and let Americans see Putin and hear the crazy dictator ramble about his reasons for taking over the world and then swear it's not his intention. It's priceless. To people like me a former Soviet, all this middle school recitation of history is laughable, erroneous and ignorant. Ukraine can't be so blatantly denied existence. He clearly stole Ukrainian history and now trying to erase Ukraine from physically existing. It's a futal attempt. I grew up on this drival and then I learned a wider and broader real history. Too bad that to many Americans, it will either sound like a bunch of comma-separated words or a really impressive speech they hardly understand.
This is the principle of the enemy of my enemy is my friend, only at a preschool level. In other words, the highest level that these kind of people can just about keep up with.
only the government, the rich, the corporations and the educated (indoctrinated) are on the left. 75% of all Americans are not in that club, so we are on the right. Putin went to war to protect Russian borders. Biden does not even enforce border controls, millions of foreigners are invading the U.S.A. every year. our country is one matchstick from civil war.
Russia helps them in many ways to get power, and in return they do this. Its a win win for them. People like Trump or Viktor Orbán have no moral, all they care power. They sell their country for the devil in a blink of an eye if they can be the president forever.
Weird how the people who *scream* about how much they love America hate it the most. We get it, you want to live in a dictatorship you agree with, now move to russia.
This shopping would cost $400 in America. Here, it's only $104. As though that is meaningful. What he *should* have done, is compare the average *wage* of an ordinary Russian person to see just how affordable that $104 is. What percentage of their weekly wage it relates to. You can't just say "oh in this or that country, groceries cost a *fraction* of what they do in America.
Tucker's too lazy to bother. He wanted to make a certain point & any "inconvenient" realities would've spoiled it for him. He's a career propagandist & conspiracy theorist; honest journalism just ain't his cuppa tea. 💁♂️

@@SteveInLava As helpful and sensible as the Marshall Plan was, it cannot be assumed that it had much to do with the fact that there are so many delicious types of bread in Germany. Not least because many of the recipes predate the Mayflower landing, but also because the plan only resulted in an annual increase in gross domestic product of around 0.5 percent per year for three years. ;-)
@@marcromain64care to back ANY of that up, or should we simply take your word for it?
@@jakebarnes28 It's based on calculations by Prof. Barry Eichengreen, who I assume for the time being that he was not wrong, especially since you can at least roughly check the whole thing yourself: Germany accounted for 1.41 billion US dollars of the ERP, about 10 % of its total volume and GDP in the years in question was between around 50 and 75 billion US dollars. All figures are publicly available.
However, the Marshall Plan was still extremely important because of its political signaling effect. The liberalization of intra-European trade and overseas trade with the USA, which was formulated as a condition, alone played a major role in Europe's rapid economic recovery. For the US, this investment also paid off quite quickly. Win-win, if you will.

Finding a European style supermarket in Moscow (Russia), which is geographically, culturally, historically in Europe - Why would that be surprising to anyone?!? This type of supermarket (trolley system, in store bakery, etc.) can be found across various European countries…
It shows he doesn't do his own shopping in the US either. You find supermarkets like that everywhere across the US, yet he busts a nut over some bread? What grocery store doesn't have a bakery with tons of fresh bread?
And the fact he thinks the average person spends $400 for a WEEK of groceries proves how out of touch he is. I'd love to see someone go to a grocery store by his house & reenact all the stupidity he showed here.
you would be surprised. I live in Romania so not far away, and was called putinist by several people when pointing out at the beginning that Russia will never hunger unless artificially enduced, since they are a huge food producer. Many people are convinced Russia is basically North Korea, and only survived because Europe provided it with everything. Which is true in some domains, but not in many more.
You can go to any freakin big-box store in Amerca even the cheap ones and they all have a cart-escalator these days, too-- Tucker is just a wealthy little Lord Fontlaroy who inherited millions and has never had to dirty his own hands doing his shopping before a single day in his life, so it is literally ALL new to him....

Also the shopping cart escalator- our local Safeway in a midsized Canadian city has had one for at least the ten years I've been living here. He's never shopped for groceries in his privileged life.
@@bodyloverz30yes they are
As an American, I think there are two things going on here: 1) Tucker has never left the states--like most Americans. Americans build out, they don't build up. So the first time I ever saw an escalator for shopping carts was four years ago when I left america. Same with the shopping cart coin lock--also everywhere abroad but not in America.
The other thing 2) Tucker is too rich to go into a grocery store and shop for himself. He must have his servant or someone do it. Also, $100 US for a week's worth of groceries is a out what I paid when I lived in the states so unless things have REALLY ballooned out of control over there, it seems on par for a normal person. How much does Tucker actually pay for HIS groceries every week? That's what I want to know. What does that piece of shit buy that he thinks is "normal"?
Shopping cart locks exist in the US but I have only seen them at Aldi and IKEA.
It's not that. Tucker knows what he's doing. He's trying to romanticize Russia which is popular with the more populist conservative wing. Look at the conservative Canadian family who moved to Russia because they want to escape 'wokeness' in the west. Funny enough they posted a video about their negative experiences since arriving in the country and the kremlin contacted them to remove the video 'or else'. I guess they must sorely miss freedom of expression in the west.
These are some of the most unimportant issues ever discussed n this platform! Also displaces the phrase any exposure is good exposure? Is that how Americans say?
And 100$ is ~1/4 of the avg monthly salary in Russia, so.....
I have seen a shopping cart escalator in the US but it was the kind where you put your cart on it and use a regular escalator yourself.

Average salary 200-300? Maybe some unofficial jobs in remote villages. 1000$+ is pretty ok for Russia, and there’s really small amount of people who gets less than 500, and it’s pretty real to earn 2000+
Tucker thinking $400 is the "average" amount American spends on groceries per WEEK blows my mind. It just shows what kind of world HE lives in compared to someone like me.
If I'm spending $100 on groceries for the week, then things are going well & I'm set. But $400??? HELL NO. And maybe he should visit places outside of Moscow to see how people are living?
I may not be the most well-traveled person ever, but something tells me pointing to a country's nicest city & extrapolating that standard of living to everyone else isn't exactly the most accurate way to determine overall economic health.

What doesn't help us when the doomer comments come out of the woodwork to reinforce Tucker's comments by doom dumping about skyrocketing food/gas prices and poor quality of life and act like it's representative of the whole country. No shit you people are seeing skyrocketing prices, half of you live in expensive shit hole cities like LA and Chicago. I'm doing fine in my area.

Sanctions aren't supposed to affect snickers bars and razor blades, they are meant to slow down the production of military equipment and weapons first and foremost.
Да, но Кока-Кола, Икея и прочие компании не связанные с военной сферой ушли и прекратили свою деятельность на территории России. Если Икея не поставляет в вооружённые силы РФ стулья и столы для штабов, то не вижу смысла их действию. Конечно, тут может быть вопрос морали, и компании просто не хотят зарабатывать в стране начавшей военные действия против другой страны, но тогда почему эти же компании не поступают точно также с Израилем? В общем нет здесь никакой морали, а простой приказ/рекомендация вышестоящих органов государственной власти, которая в любой момент может пресечь работу частного бизнеса даже компании международного уровня.

Also, the idea that sanctions are supposed to make it so all or most of their grocery stores are empty is idiotic.
In fact, the nuance that "West" doing precision sanctions instead of complete embargo is so that empty food shelves don't happen(among other reasons).

I am from Ireland and we have those types of shopping carts too, same with many European countries. Is Tucker seriously this dense?
Also we have grooved escalators too, the wheels of the trolley lock into the grooves so your trolley doesn't start rolling back down with you and knocking others taking the escalator behind you, pretty much common sense. I can't tell if Tucker is out of touch with avarage Americans that he hasn't seen them or if America generally doesn't have these things, either way Tucker is a propagandist and should not be taken seriously by anyone.
I'm from Turkey and our shopping carts are also like that where you have to insert a 1 Lira coin and the cart will detatch from it's lock. Tucker is dense as shit.
We also have ALDI'S here in America and they do the same exact thing. I'm guessing this dumb, rich guy has never shopped before.😑
You'd be surprised that Aldi in the US has the same coin operated carts. It's just to encourage people to put them back, nothing more.

Average monthly income percentage spending on groceries in the US is ≈7%, In Western Europe it’s about 10-15% and in Russia it’s over 30% (2021 numbers, but due to global inflation the margins are still there today)
Tucker obviously knows this, but his boomer viewers he can make money off and manipulate doesn’t, they will just blame Brandon 😅

@@dzonikg Considering that the average minimum wage salary in Russia is about 240$ per month, and the average Russian salary per month is about 600$ (and the average rent in a Russian city center for a 1 bedroom apartment is 400$ or 270$ outside the city center according to Numbeo) I highly doubt that you spend less than 50%, let alone 1% of your income on housing/rent.
If excluding extremely expensive and among the most attractive global cities like London, NYC, Amsterdam, San Fransisco etc most average people wouldn’t afford (Just like most provincial Russians couldn’t even dream of moving to Moscow or SPB) - I would say housing/rent costs as percentage of average income is fairly similar in Russia vs the West. If not a bit higher in Russia. But this obviously depends on where in the country you live, what type of housing you are in and how much you make between minimum wage vs average wage.
And the real metric showcasing total living costs vs income (disposable income) clearly shows that westerners have significantly more money to save or spend after rent, groceries, utilities and taxes has been paid adjusted for average income - AKA Russians are living significantly more “paycheck to paycheck” than western countries with all expenses taken in to account.

@@Fluxwuxhousing market prices are very elastic to income, which is why in any place in the world the rent/mortgage to income ratio will be roughly the same.
This might be the first time in Tucker's life he was in a supermarket, having grown up an heir to a frozen food mogul . His amazement is sincere. Now he sees what his servants deal with every day. Next? Visit a Piatorichka for a real taste of Russian life.
Similarly as our former Czech president Václav Klaus who found out in his 80s that supermarkets have more than 2 kinds of yoghurt and it was a shock for him. 😀 Or our today prime minister when he finally realized that food here in Czechia cost twice price of what it costs in Germany or Poland, everyone is talking about that for years how they cheat us and when he visits German or Polish supermarket, he is like "wow, it's so much chepaer here!"

You have to realize that Tucker Carlson probably doesn't ever go to a supermarket. He is at the income level where he has people who do that sort of thing for him. Many stores have the coin-deposit carts. Most of them have electronic wheels that lock up when the cart is taken outside of the parking lot though. People stealing carts used to be a big problem for stores. Yes, homeless people in the US do steal the carts, when they can. I have also seen the escalators that have grooves that the cart wheels fit into. Every IKEA store has those, for example. Tucker doesn't get around much.
For a country with the largest number of sanctions, everything doesn’t look bad at all.
Homeless in the USA? Sir, what are you talking about? Where do the homeless come from in the USA, and even those who steal carts?
I did not get the point in the video. You can take the cart if you have a coin. Nobody is blocking you to steal them. It's just a motivation to bring the cart back and don't leave it in tha parking area.
TBF, I hadn't seen the grooved wheel cart escalators before, just because most of the shops where I live are single story. 🤷

Tucker really though that 100$ grocery shopping sounds like a utopia, had he shopped in an Indonesian supermarket he would’ve probably got a heart attack (you’ll probably get all the stuffs he bought there for around 20$)

There are two possibilities in terms of Tucker's comments regarding the cost of his grocery store trip:
1. He understands full well that what he is purchasing is incredibly expensive for a typical Russian, and he's just being disingenuous, or,
2. He actually doesn't understand basic math and cannot appreciate the disparity in wages between his home country and Russia.
Or, hidden 3rd option: the logic centre of his brain shut down when he saw that beautiful, beautiful bread and had a massive hormone and endorphin dump.
Sidebar: when I saw the "Tucker in Russia" videos online, I was eagerly awaiting all the hot takes from Roman.
Tucker Carlson has always been an average malicious journalist, nowhere near CNN bad but still did not help deescalate rising situations during 2016 elections. After he got fired from Fox News he must have simply decided to evilmax and suck off Russia.
1 with a caveat, he knows his followers don't
Tbh not even hot takes, just facts
He's actively being disengenous because he and people like him desperately, desperately wish that the US was a fucked up kleptocracy with a sham democracy like Russia
This is a problem with propaganda in general. Often you are not sure if the person is honesty ignorant, or malicious and pretending ignorance.
"100$ for groceries - surely this is a great thing to give up your freedom for" exactly!!!!🥰🎉😊
😂 but also 😱 at the same time.
What freedom?
What makes it even funnier is the fact that I'm fairly certain that Tucker has never visited a grocery store in his life. He's the epitome of Rich. His family owns the Swanson frozen foods line and is very rich from that. Which I think is why he's amazed at the coin operated shopping carts that have been around in Aldi's for decades. Most stores in the US do not do this. There's other anti-theft deterrents but largely you just go and get a cart and shop. Aldi, being a EU store though kind of brought that to the US.
Edit: To answer the question about how good the bread is there. As a US person that has traveled abroad to EU, whenever I jump the pond, I cant wait for the bread. Unsure how or why bread is so crappy here in the US....it's crappy *and* very expensive. But getting over to the UK or Germany, breads are cheap, fresh, and so damned good. So I can *almost* understand Tucker's fascination with the quality breads there. I would imagine Russia has similar baking standards and practices as the EU. And it doesnt even seem to be unique to "the West" as I've heard many middle eastern countries are similar with their breads.
Edit 2: With how large Russia is and the serious diversity of lands in all the provinces and such, I would be shocked if Russia relied heavily on outside imports to produce their foods. So, unless there was a really bad crop or something I wouldnt expect shelves in stores to be empty these days. I think the biggest impact would be some foreign products, such as Coke or something to be scarce or expensive vs pre-sanctions.
American bread has additives that are banned in the rest of the world to keep American bread fresh, American bread has a additive that comes from bird feathers, here in Ireland bread only lasts a few days and my family will only use it for toast after 2 days, the bread we buy is made fresh every day in Lidl called Brennans crusty white bread 800g and you have to cut it yourself, it's goes stale after 2 days and is only 2.59 euros, we won't eat bread when in American unless some sourdough because most of it just tastes sweet to us and in fact it would be classed as cake here in Ireland because of the sugar content of American bread, subway got upset because the government classed its bread as cake when they first opened in Dublin
@@dogwhistle8836 this isnt the same across the board, and yes there are some preservatives used in the commercially produced and packaged breads. But even the fresh baked bakery breads where it gets stale after a day or 2, it's expensive and while better than the commercial breads is just not the same as I find across the pond. Very hard to articulate and using the "americans use additives" is complete garbage. Yes, if you're comparing wonder bread in the store vs an actual bakery that's the only time that comes into play.
Wow they have bread !! Can they go to corner local market and get a 1" thick , 1 Lb Black Angus Prime Rib for lunch.
@@DGPHolyHandgrenadeaditives are defo a thing, but more importantly sugar, and ofc the flour itself, i've heard, heard, can't confirm that a lot of filler is used instead of flour, even heard stories about sawdust, from americans themselves, but could be the type of wheat, the processing etc, maybe for mass production they process something differently, some modified yeast or something, i can't say, but i do know that bread is one of rare things all americans will agree that it suckcs comparatively, similar with chocolate, but that is the processing of milk that makes american chocolate tastes different than here, but bread is objectively worse.
As for middle east, yeah ofc they are good, the best in the world probably, their entire culture for thousands of years revolves about it, and yeast is usually the afterthought there..

i want to see tucker in other countries. i want a netflix series. india, chile, turkey, japan, china, south africa... it's like that show about kids going shopping but with an ignorant grown man. absolute gold.
Bruh he would be rolling on the roadside if he found that we Indians have traffic lights here and they actually works.
Love that idea!!!
Yeah but in those countries he'd visit the worst cities. That's how propagandists work.
Our Man in Japan parody
Believe me he Will soon take evry gig he can, especially after Russia has lost the genocide & war in Ukraine.
Do a deep dive on Trucker... He is a Trust Fund Baby RICH AF and I don't think he goes shopping like regular people...
And couriers must fool him, since he got a price shock
* smells the plastic wrapping the bread *
LOL
I have to be honest... I found your channel because I used to be obsessed with international grocery-shop videos. I'm pretty sure I landed on Niki Proshin's channel and that led me here so many moons ago. Thanks to UA-cam, a lot of us ignorant westerners got to see what life abroad was like.
I knew nothing about Ukraine until the invasion happened. Now I love the country.
😂😂😂😂 Time educated yourself more then ffs
Seriously! I’ll never get to afford travel so videos are the best I can manage.
@@carolwilliams8511 Average American falling for war propaganda and psyops:
Tune in to Sanctioned Ivan and watch him eat knockoff McDonalds cheeseburgers every day
I was amazed at russia's futuristic interlocking shopping carts that no one else has. It is truly the age of miracles.
Doesnt exist in the US or Canada lol
For us in the Netherlands it's a look back into history. We don't have had that anymore for years.
@@telebubba5527 I was having a laugh that they're only at interlocking carts? We moved on to hovercarts back in '21.
I've never seen a shopping cart that required a coin deposit.
People do steal shopping carts, so that is true. Homeless and also people that live in apartments steal the shopping carts. Grocery stores hire people to track down the shopping carts and return those to the stores. A coin deposit would not stop that though. No one is going to walk a mile or more back to a store for a 25 cent or whatever deposit refund.
What's next, automatic sliding doors?
We have all this in Sweden too, its just funny how amazed he is hahah
Your from Sweden assalamualaikum
I also live in Sweden, but I have to admit I've yet to see an escalator inside a grocery store. Every ICA, Coop or Willy's I've been in has always been on a single story (of varying size). Maybe it's a thing in Stockholm somewhere.
Be careful, because to Z this video is now proof that Sweden is historically ruzzian territory.
Tucker could go to a Swedish supermarket and be just as amazed at how advanced a supermarket in a 'socialist' country is 😁😁 compared to America
@@JagdDachshund🤢
“Yeah, just a typical weekly shopping trip for a family of 4. Bread, cereal, cookies, and wine! Can’t wait to make my famous boozy carb casserole and all the fixings, which only costs half my monthly income! We’re super healthy because after we eat it, we practice intermittent fasting for the rest of the month!”
I like how Russia has a shopping center named after the first man in space (Gagarinskii). Why don’t we have an Armstrong’s chain here in the US?!? This is the question that Tucker should really be exploring!
That is because it is situated near Gagarinskyi square check out the soviet monument there) lol
But we do have Pigly Wiglys down south, named after a historical Civil War battle. " The Battle of Pigly Wigly Ridge
@@tday891 That’s just right outside of Porkysburg, right?
Honestly, you could probably make a reality show with half of the on air personalities in the US just sending them to experience normal people and places in America. Would be an unending tour of delight, amazement and radiacalizing.
I work as a grocery broker in the US and i can tell you the reason its going up so fast is in part because of inflation, but brands take inflation as an opportunity to increase their margins and make it seem like inflation is larger. It fills me with rage when i get the updated costs and msrps and i see the costs go up by 1% and the msrps by 7+%.
NY/NJ Shop Rite : Steroid, antibiotic and hormone free chicken legs $ .89 C / Lb On sale this week. Cheaper than popcorn
@@tday891 not a bad deal, but keep in mind if a brand advertises steroid, antibiotic and hormone free chicken thats not a great sign because those are requirements for chicken to be sold in the US. Kinda like saying your brand of bottled water doesnt contain pond scum
Not to mention shrinking package sizes
Thank the corrupt corporations which have been given even more power by our corrupt Supreme Court's ruling in "Citizens United," leading to elections being influenced by dark money and Super Pacs.
Its not all inflation, its marked up prices for profit because they know people will buy it anyways.
Tucker's reporting radicalizes me against Tucker...
Tucker is Lucille from Arrested Development: "It's one banana, Michael. What could it cost, $10?"
As a German I feel insulted that Tuckers first thought about which country is famous for its bread, is Russia
As a non-German I feel insulted by the fact that GERMANY is still a thing after the horrors of Nazism. Every time Russia sneezes, the Western World feels outraged. Germany, in just 10 years of Nazism, did what it did, including barbaric and systematic murders and even medical experiments on CHILDREN, and it's like... Nothing.... f*cking... happened. Oh now, I forgot. It's PALESTINIANS who pay the price for Nazism! And now Germany rules Europe AGAIN, through the EU, with the usual imperialist arrogance. What a parasitic cancer, Germany is. Always was, since the Roman Empire. I wish more people would realize that. Specially in Southern Europe.
Even the Russian word for open sandwich, Бутерброд (in Latin alphabet: Buterbrod), is a loan word from German.
@@Tuzganaq And the world "alcohol" is an Arabic word. Yay. 10 points. Your point being?
@@HeathenDance I don't understand the context behind your comment.
@@HeathenDanceCongrats, you completely missed the point.
The bread thing is hilarious because I literally work at a BREAD FACTORY is the US and it’s literally the same.
It is not the same, bread quality in US is worse and a good one costs good money, in Russia it is the opposite. Taste of bread is better and more healthy choices like we call them the black bread. Food quality in Russia and especially dairy products are on another level, it is just the fact.
You don't have such culture of "normal" bread anymore
@@DD-dp4pj The US has a wide variety of breads, we have just about every kind of bread you can imagine.
@@floydlooney6837 Not more than Germany or France, that I bet. You grossly overestimate the variety of bread there is in the US. Also he's talking about quality not quantity
@@floydlooney6837plenty of videos of US expats in the UK say how much better UK bread is than US and a far bigger selection. The US food quality is overall much worse than Europe with too many additives banned in Europe and an over reliance on chemicals as a substitute for good hygiene practices. You are just talking rubbish, probably never left your home town. 😂
Tucker in Belgium: why do they eat so much fries? It s called " french fries", not " belgian" so whyyyyy?
As you said, Tucker has never been to an Aldi Food Market in America where shoppers deposit a quarter to unlock a shopping cart for the same reason so that people instinctively return the cart into their locked position and get their quarter back. The store doesn't have people gather carts all over the parking lot.
I always thought Americans dont use coins any more, only credit card. OK, Aldo is a German company 🙄
Surprisingly, we still use coins and cash. And yes, Aldi is a German supermarket but we love it. It's pretty common around too.
I live in Ohio in the U.S. and all our aldis have the coin operated carts. Tucker did nothing but make himself look out of touch.
We do use coins. And we do love Aldi Food Market. We know it's a German Company. Thank you for sending it here.
@@JuniversalDon't be so harsh on Tucker. Someone has to be a useful idiot and let Americans see Putin and hear the crazy dictator ramble about his reasons for taking over the world and then swear it's not his intention. It's priceless. To people like me a former Soviet, all this middle school recitation of history is laughable, erroneous and ignorant. Ukraine can't be so blatantly denied existence. He clearly stole Ukrainian history and now trying to erase Ukraine from physically existing. It's a futal attempt. I grew up on this drival and then I learned a wider and broader real history. Too bad that to many Americans, it will either sound like a bunch of comma-separated words or a really impressive speech they hardly understand.
With 160€ pension its more than expensive!
But on a box of corn flakes you can make it one week.
It's crazy how the right in America went from hating Russia to loving it. Really sweet in a ultra fd up way
This is the principle of the enemy of my enemy is my friend, only at a preschool level. In other words, the highest level that these kind of people can just about keep up with.
I remember when they would use Russia as the excuse for why the election was “rigged” which it wasn’t Biden won fair and square
only the government, the rich, the corporations and the educated (indoctrinated) are on the left.
75% of all Americans are not in that club, so we are on the right.
Putin went to war to protect Russian borders.
Biden does not even enforce border controls, millions of foreigners are invading the U.S.A. every year.
our country is one matchstick from civil war.
Russia helps them in many ways to get power, and in return they do this. Its a win win for them. People like Trump or Viktor Orbán have no moral, all they care power. They sell their country for the devil in a blink of an eye if they can be the president forever.
Weird how the people who *scream* about how much they love America hate it the most. We get it, you want to live in a dictatorship you agree with, now move to russia.
This shopping would cost $400 in America. Here, it's only $104. As though that is meaningful. What he *should* have done, is compare the average *wage* of an ordinary Russian person to see just how affordable that $104 is. What percentage of their weekly wage it relates to. You can't just say "oh in this or that country, groceries cost a *fraction* of what they do in America.
Yes and ? Did you do the math
Tucker's too lazy to bother. He wanted to make a certain point & any "inconvenient" realities would've spoiled it for him. He's a career propagandist & conspiracy theorist; honest journalism just ain't his cuppa tea. 💁♂️
@MrJopijopa Why, did you? If so lemme crib offa your notes, I'm crap at math.
@@MrJopijopa⬆️👀
I’m a German who currently lives in Washington state and I can confirm the bread here is garbage.
And I’m Czech/Ukrainian living in the Germany and I feel sorry for the shity bread there in the US, but hey !! Still better shops in the US than somewhere in the small town in RuZZia 😂😂😂😅
Try Costco.
@@Mar1an163try a bakery! Mom n pop style small bakery, they still exist here and there
@@-oysterthief4444 he is in Washington State.....maybe he can and maybe he can't...
You live in Washington State ?? What the hell would you know !!
Ngl as an American, shopping cart escalator is kinda mind blowing😂
They're common all around Europe
Very common in Germany too 🤭
and Australia@@sns4748
I can't help but ask why they have it, just have the grocery store on ground level
@@DakotaTheRota a shopping centre or mall will have multiple levels and people use the trolleys to carry their other shopping too
I must commend Tucker on his keen observation. There are NO SANCTIONS on FOOD or MEDICINE...
He wasn't paid to make observations... He was paid for propaganda and to make Putin seem somewhat sane and adequate... He failed 😅
@@bl8346 Who? Tucker or Putin ... or both? ;-) (Will we ever see Putin grocery shopping?)
what do you mean? all the big usa fastfoods left russia...wait, not. :))
@pelephotography some companies left Russia because they wanted to, it has nothing to do with sanctions
Pro-Russian right-wingers. Never thought I'd see the day. (And with a 'useful idiot' vibe too.)
