I honestly think Tucker hasn't ever been to a grocery store in the US. I watched the grocery store video he released. He thought the carts you put a quarter in was exclusive to Russia.

He's probably too rich to be bothered, but I don't see it as a claim of exclusivity, just remarking how it's good to see policy being built into the system that encourages neatness, decency, and order. Even in the little things.

We have the quarter-cart system in the US, at Aldi's...and that's about it. Everywhere else is fucking trash, carts everywhere, better or worse just depends on the day & foot traffic. I sure wish they did it everywhere.

"So I guess you put in 10 rubles here and then you get it back when you the cart back. So it's free but there is an incentive to return it -- and not just bring it to your homeless encampment."

This is Tucker's quote from the video. Not only did he explain to the audience the concept as if it didn't exist in America. He also fantasized about how it would potentially hurt homeless people.

Public speaking isn't easy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I think I would briefly explain the concept for the benefit of anyone unfamiliar, and I would remove the "I guess" part from the front. My area didn't have an Aldi's until...idk. I want to say 2009. So it's old enough news to me, but maybe there's some people that have a Kroger/Walmart/everything else.

In America don't they only do that at Aldi?

[-] Evilbunbun@hexbear.net 3 points 9 months ago

Aldi and one other smaller chain i think

All these articles are by people who suck, so YMMV

But the short of it is that Tucker pulled a Boris Yeltsin and geeked out over a Moscow grocery store during his Putin Interview trip.

Yeah a bunch of libs are geeking over it, but hes still a dumbass lol.

He was “amazed” how you put a coin in, and gives it back once you bring it back. Like yeah dum dum, its called Aldi. Wouldnt expect a rich failson to ever shop at one of those though lmao

What was he expecting? Bread lines?

[-] zifnab25@hexbear.net 23 points 9 months ago

That's basically what the MSM implies for the rest of the non-Western World.

ummmm if you have to line up at a cashier and pay for the bread, that kind of bread line is good. if you don't have to pay, that's BAD.

"I went to a russian grocery store, and do you know what I saw? No soy milk. None of it. Russia is fighting back against the woke with their own beverage, which they call являюсь молоко."

[-] SSJ2Marx@hexbear.net 9 points 9 months ago

Tucker's angle was "the sanctions aren't working, therefore the Democrats are incompetent." There's a section of the ruling class that wants to wedge China and Russia apart, and use Putin to contain Xi. This is of course a terrible plan that would never work (although it's not like the "pretend it's still the nineties" plan is working either).

If Orange man wins again that will drive the two even closer as well. Bidens brain may be pudding, but Trump is pretty in his own world lol

I can't believe a half full shopping cart doesn't cost $400

[-] kristina@hexbear.net 7 points 9 months ago
