Anyone who reads that should know Tucker Carlson is a kook at best.
He says ideology doesn’t matter because they had cheaper groceries.
Besides that being a totally misguided statement,
He doesn’t understand that PRICES AND SALARIES ARE LOWER IN EVERY LESS PROSPEROUS NATION ON THIS EARTH.
Whether or not we’re happy about the recent inflation, it’s always been true you could take your retirement money and move to Mexico, Philippines, Russia and a lot of other countries.
Our dollar goes from 4 to 12 times farther in those countries, which is great.
When making such decisions, one must balance infrastructure, corruption, crime, standard of living, political instability and repression, risk of war, climate, many many things.
Ever know a Russian in the US who isn’t shipping things back to Russia, including money, clothes and cars?
And that’s not only recent.
And a Russian Ruble is worth one U.S. penny.
And the average Russian worker’s salary is $750 a month.
I was there (Moscow) in '95. I dated a (pretty blonde woman) who was an economics professor at a college in Moscow. She made ~$100/month, US.
So her grocery bill would be ~1 month's wage.
Anyone who reads FR should know Williams is a cheap propagandist at best.
So what exactly is a kook, and how does Tucker fit the label?
The problem with you and your type is that you think a decaying and corrupt America is still great. It isn’t.
This should be a wake up call to you instead you choose denial.
We have a right as Americans to expect better than what we are seeing now. It is a disgrace.
We need to focus on this country and acknowledge how low we have fallen. Instead we blow money we do not have on foreign wars to set up some stupid world government and open our borders to every third world country to come here like vampires to suck the blood out of our heritage.
Tucker isn’t a kook, YOU are.
80’s mentality. My family use to travel to Europe and Mexico. We’ve seen the price differences and the use of less chemicals in the foods. Americans are not only being over priced on items, we are also being poisoned as well. Thank the F’ers who support the WEF and their cultish obsession to destroy America.
” He doesn’t understand that PRICES AND SALARIES ARE LOWER IN EVERY LESS PROSPEROUS NATION ON THIS EARTH. “
This is why comparing GDP is nonsense.
If Groceries cost 4x in the USA.
Gasoline costs 1.5x
Natural gas costs 6x
Electricity costs 2.5x
The basic living costs for ordinary people are far less. So 4x “per capita GDP” doesn’t actually buy anything more.
And we see this on the military side even more, where the typical munitions price for the USA is 10x. (because the MIC is even more inflationary and wasteful than the rest of the economy).
And that doesn’t even impute a value to squalid, filthy cities with unpoliced criminal blacks, and a non-white invasion deliberately created by a failing elite.

Apparently, you haven’t been reading the news about the state of the U.S.’s livability.
I guess pooping on streets, fentanyl addiction and brown on white bullying offsets all that to your satisfaction...?
