Really stepped in it this time. Salaries are one sixth of American salaries and food costs are 1/4-1/6th. Poor Russians. They should overthrow Putin right now, turn their country over to BlackRock and go on to live a great life being raped while supporting “our” democracy.
If Russia is so much better than the USA like he says, Tucker can move there.
They don’t have to go backward, but they can pick a better leader than Putin. Although, he made it so he can be president forever. Poor Russians are screwed.
That was good
Compared to the mid-1900s, wages and salaries are now only a small fraction of a US farmer’s costs. The Daily Mail might be correct to criticise Carlson. But their reasoning makes them look like silly, out of touch, Brit academics.
In 1960 I worked in hayfields in the summer. The farmer cut the day with a mower, raked it, then baled it into 50-pound rectangular bales. Four of us teenagers would load bales onto a flatbed truck going through a previous day’s field, with bales stacked by a guy riding on the truck, being driven by another guy. Then we would unload the bales and stack them in a barn.
Not including the farmer, that is up to 6 guys working for a daily wage. Now the farmer cuts the hay, rakes, it and bales it into ~800-pound round bales, then uses a hydraulic lift on the tractor to move the round bales onto the flat bed or just leaves them in the field wrapped in netting or plastic. Those six guys drawing a daily wage? They ain’t there no more. Most farm work has similarly eliminated human labor and wages.
Tucker just said that to trigger the zeepers. After all, what would we do without our daily onslaught of Tucker Carlson threads? 😁
