In Russia, prices are rising, as everywhere in the world. To understand how much a person can buy with his salary, you just need to know his salary in rubles, and the prices in stores in rubles. And if you take the salary in dollars, and buy in Russia in rubles, then of course for an American it will be cheaper. Simple math)
Avg monthly salary in Moscow is $1500 but in the countryside it is $300. The latter is difficult to live on. But rent in Moscow is very high like all capitals of the world.
In Russia, the production of GMO products is prohibited by law. This old man simply made a mistake, or does not know about it. But there are various acceptable food additives, now this is the case all over the world, and in Russia too.
I don’t think it’s that strange that people in different parts of the world with different cultures and backgrounds and ages still can still have overlapping concerns with their basic health and well being…we are all humans
Maybe Tucker should have tried going to a grocery store outside of Moscow? In the US you can go to the poorest county in the poorest state and find the same products. You will NOT find a grocery store outside of Moscow with this quality and quality of merchandise.
Why did you decide that? In Russia there are chain supermarkets and hypermarkets, and their range of goods and prices are approximately the same throughout Russia. I live 500 km from Moscow, and here there is the same grocery store as in Moscow, the prices are the same. Naturally, in Moscow there are more premium stores, in other words - for rich people, and ordinary people even in Moscow go to simple and inexpensive stores )
@ОльгаЮрс I didn't decide it. I went by the videos out of Ukranian occupied Sudzha and saw how poor the average Russian is. Now it may be propaganda or it may not be but it certainly is more reliable than Russian media sources. So take it with a grain of salt.
@@erikkovacs3097 Russians live as they can, there are rich, there are poor, as in any country. I don't understand what kind of economic miracle you expected to see in a small provincial town?)

I am neither poor nor rich, I have housing, food, work, I have a family and relatives who live in different parts of Russia.
Tucker Carlson has always been a disingenuous grifting clown since the beginning on CNN 25 years ago. Serious, intelligent people have never payed him any significant attention.
He actually does some pretty good interviews lately including with the New York city mayor and with Michael Shellenberger. He can be hit-or-miss but some of his stuff is quite good.
For example, sanctioned Coca-Cola is sold to bulk buyers through countries like Azerbaijan and Turkey and shipped into Russia through Georgia by truck, taking advantage of the existing supply chain that has already been established. Also, absolutely no products that you see in supermarkets has been sanctioned - this is a Russian propaganda myth intent for their population. I'm surprised it has reached it's way to you. Food has not been sanctioned. In fact, most things that are claimed to be sanctioned are not required to obey the sanctions - look in detail at the sanctions packages. These companies left because they understood what would happen to their Russian businesses if they stayed. Some stay as a legal entity, employing lawyers on retainer, so they can keep their trademark and prevent (for now) the Russian government from stealing it, which they have in a few cases, like what happened to Burger King.
Or one journalist showing the reality of misinformation from someone with more followers who is openly lying and was found in court for lying hence why he got fired at Fox
Tucker is just a journalist who doesn´t understand basic Economics. Comparatively, some things cost less in Russia, but on average people earn much less than in the US. There are known tools to make the comparison correctly: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purchasing_power_parity
It baffled me Tucker never considered the average wage in Russia vs. USA.
Really? Tucker Carlson being a complete shitheel on his show baffles you?
wait... you think Tucker acted in good faith?
Well that wouldn’t align with his pro Putin propaganda would it?

Brilliant! Thanks for doing this
Shoving what we don't want down to us is also what we have here in the U.S. and it's not just foods.
Thank you for posting this. ❤
You mean Tucker Carlson doesn’t know what he’s talking about!? No way! Lol.
xD
A prevalence of GMOs and palm oil? Sounds like American grocery stores to me.
It's just as bad in Russia. Worse with dairy products. There is no milk in cheap cheese.
Correct! You are smarter than TheFP reporter. Russians are trying to be like Americans....
In Russia, the production of GMO products is prohibited by law. This old man simply made a mistake, or does not know about it. But there are various acceptable food additives, now this is the case all over the world, and in Russia too.
We have options in US grocery stores.
More of this sort of reporting please, great stuff
They sound kinda MAHA with the dislike of palm oils
I don’t think it’s that strange that people in different parts of the world with different cultures and backgrounds and ages still can still have overlapping concerns with their basic health and well being…we are all humans
To Russians, palm oil = seed oil. They don't worry about sunflower oil. Soy and rapeseed oil are uncommon.
He says he’s in a Russian store, but Auchan is actually French.
Keep it coming -

Usually I find his most vocal detractors to be the partisan clowns, but YMMV.
Unsurprisingly Tucker doesn’t know about (or lies) about the concept of Purchasing Power Parity (PPP)
Russia’s attack on palm oils
Moscow is not Russia. Not even close.
How can they get sanctioned products? Brands just pretended to leave?
Importing from a third country. For example, German imports to Kyrgyzstan have skyrocketed in past 2 years. From there to Tuckerstan.
What is the point of "leaving" Russia and losing the market? I don't see any good reason for such stupidity.

@@ОльгаЮрс Sanctions from their home countries
Young people have a perfect poker face trying not to turn focus from their problems to the cause of the problems
I won't rush cause I an't russian
Sounds more like America than the posters would have us believe.
Russians would freak out if they saw what passes for food in a U.S. grocery store.
Tucker’s claim that he was radicalized by a Russian grocery store is hilarious.
So typical of a 'journalist' picking a fight with other journalists that are more successful. Its like they never left high school.
Or one journalist showing the reality of misinformation from someone with more followers who is openly lying and was found in court for lying hence why he got fired at Fox
You call this Journalism? This is a joke.
An even bigger Joke than Tucker Carlson.
Is he an ideologue or just stupid? The world may never know...
