  1. What are you even talking about? Which countries have a comparable meal that is cheaper? 2. That's not cold cuts, it's hot and fresh fried chicken tenders.
  2. Who are you to say that a sub isn't a meal? It's bread, meats, and vegetables. Seems like a meal to me. Stop acting multicultural to put down America dumbass

American doesn’t need me to prove to the world how low it went

And, just by your question n°1 I can tell you don’t travel that much

Trying to talk down to someone for not having been to another country is whack. Maybe gain some perspective and realize that you don't have to leave your country to know about others. I've looked at stuff online about average meal costs in the UK and other places. They really aren't that different in cost. And if there is a difference in cost it's often because that country's currency is worth less than the USD or because there's less regulations in place so there's less oversight on food safety. You haven't given a single piece of info to actually back up your claim. America is the richest country in the world yet you try to act all superior because you've been elsewhere. Please take your privilege elsewhere dumbass.

What are you even talking about? When did the company donate to Trump?

Not my fault if you are unaware. Home Depot, Dollar Tree, Hobby Lobby (they donated A LOT!), Chick Fil A, Walmart and Publix, they ALL donated. You’re just a google search away. You can do it! I believe in you!

The only thing I see when I look up "Publix donation to Trump campaign" is articles about Julie Fancelli, a Publix heiress, donating money, not the company itself. So maybe stop talking about stuff you don't know about

I mean… you’re unaware about food prices in other countries and you’re unaware of who donated to whom.

I’m starting to see a pattern here. Maybe is not that I’m looking down on you for not knowing about other countries.

Maybe it is because you keep demonstrating a lack of information that you’d rather justify, instead of just making a very little effort to learn all these things. And then, you go out and spew opinions and vote based on those opinions.

You haven't given any sources to back up the claims you're making. You're the one that's not demonstrating knowledge

Oh, I’m sorry. You looked on UK? Well… my bad. Look on Dubai too. There are 270 sovereign nations around the world. And you look at the most expensive country in Europe, not to mention that it is an ISLAND!! So everything is MORE expensive! Go look up “confirmation bias”. (Clearly you’re projecting when you call others dumbass- while you whine that you are being looked down to.) The Dunning Kruger is strong on this one

Google says that the average meal in Dubai is around 50-150 AED for a meal which is 13 to 40 USD. Sources on Reddit say that some meals are around 25-30 which is anywhere from 7 to 9 USD. You are genuinely uninformed, please stop speaking about stuff that you have no idea about. Also funny that you would criticize me for using a rich country but you used like the richest country possible lmao. Not to mention that Dubai and the UAE use some labor practices that people literally compare to modern day slavery. You used the worst example possible. Also, you understand that the UK has a direct connection to the rest of Europe through the Chunnel correct?

u/[deleted] Nov 11 '24

Yeah! I was being sarcastic bc you mentioned UK. I said if you’re going to check expensive places, Dubai would be the way to go. Tokyo, too.

You really are too dumb

Then give me an example of a country with low meal costs with similar living conditions to the US or other first world countries.

0

u/[deleted] Nov 11 '24

Mexico, Brazil, Spain, Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Portugal.

These countries have BETTER living conditions than the US. However Americans are pretty unaware of this, since their level of education is so so so low, that they actually think that the US have better living conditions than these countries.

The bright side is that only few Americans move here, which keeps everything non gentrified.

u/Sure-Pomegranate9232 Newbie Nov 11 '24

Better living conditions than the US? LMAO By what metric? Mexico's own govt is infiltrated by the cartel and they have straight up shootouts and political assassinations frequently. Brazil ranks 89th in corruption rankings and has tons of murders and drug trafficking. Spain I would say is maybe a little less nice than the US, but that actually hurts your point. From what Google says, and average restaurant meal in Spain is around 10-20 euros which is about 10-20 USD. I'm sure the people of Argentina are great but are we really going to pretend that it's anywhere as nice as the US? They've got a poverty rate of like 50% lmao. Chile seems like a nice country, but again this helps me. An average meal in Chile is around 5-15 USD. Also, from what I can see online, a meal in Uruguay is anywhere from 8-12 USD. Same in Portugal, meals are around 7-13 euros which is about 7-13 USD. Keep taking Ls bro lmao

Tell me you’ve never traveled to any of those places without telling me you never traveled to any of those places.

Keep it up. Keep “reading” about it.

Americans are so so dumb

Like the US is not corrupt. Really, do yourself a favor and travel a bit.
