Americans are choking on surging fast-food prices. "I can't justify the expense," one customer says

  • I don't know your family composition, but even here in Europe, 30€ for a quick meal for 4 is fucking cheap. Like, under the poverty-line cheap.

  • "Isn't much cheaper" is still way cheaper than fast food. Just changing your diet to something with less sugar, less fat, less saturated fat, less salt and a more balanced amount of carbohydrates and proteins is going to do wonders in bare months. Even if you keep your calorie intake a constant (which, with healthy food, it means you're gonna eat a fuck ton more).

    Healthy food is cheaper not for the price itself, but for the net long term benefit. Less chances of diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, while improved vitality, energy and fitness levels.

    Should healthy food be cheaper? Yes, it definitely should. Should the estate subsidize or cut taxes on raw food and basic items? Hell yeah it should. Nonetheless, while we still fight and ask for that, eating healthy at home is still cheaper than buying in unhealthy fast food chains.

  • The UN is not a military defense organisation la NATO. It has military efforts, but they are all Pacific in the sense that they don't take part and only help the civilian population (e.g.: running medical and food supplies, or protecting hospitals, etc.)

    The UN could go for economic and political sanctions, or try to move this in the Hague Courts in case the request goes unheard.

  • Don't worry, third is the charm!

  • Let's add a third one and give them something smaller but comparably hard hard. You know, as a control group.

    • Argentina elects 'shock therapy' libertarian Javier Milei as president

    Jump

  • Let's all agree that, even Schiaretti being the most presidential candidate, none except for Milei has a political platform, or a plan. Larreta literally said "I'll comment on that once I'm president". And Bullrich made a poor joke of herself in the debates.

    So yeah... Milei was the unlikely best candidate.

  • 2015 elections. Actually, 2015 elections are a better example than this. Argentina wasn't half as bad as now. And people in the most important place (Conurban region) view for the change, because there was a solution that was not peronism. Unfortunately, Macri let everyone down with his gradualism strategy, instead of a shock strategy. That's why the peronism came back.

    I'm simplifying a lot of stuff, there are other reasons for everything. Like Cristina's legal issues, the kirchnerist party corruption, and the sort. In the same vein, Macri's lack of boldness in some cases created a crisis of its own.
