+1 Particularly like his take on US cities compared to the gleaming glass and mirror cities of authoritarian countries. Bang on.
What is also kind of funny about Tucker's eulogising on Russian supermarkets is that he is actually praising German technology here. The Metro Group (German retail chain) has invested heavily in Russia (and still does business there despite the sanctions. Those carts that stick to the escalator and don't roll on the incline? They are standard here.
I'm surprised no one in the media that I know of, has pointed out the parallel of Khrushchev visiting the US and being taken to a supermarket and being amazed at the amount and variety of groceries available for anyone to buy.
I disagree with Fareed's takes far more often than I agree with them - when I actually bother to tune in. In this instance, he's 100% correct. Tucker's takes on life in Russia are utterly laughable - and missing so much context.
I dunno. It seems that TC is in favour of massive government spending on public works, which isn't restricted to authoritarian regimes - look at Singapore, as he cites. I could get behind that if they want to get the money out of taxes that hit the rich more than the poor.

A giant historic Wyoming ranch is up for sale, and in the local MAGAmaniacs facebook page, it has been the subject of many posts that assume it will be bought by Bill Gates or George Soros and terrible things will follow. One guy posted that Wyoming should buy it and keep it as is, a big cattle ranch, and then market the beef to Wyoming residents. I said Yes! Yes! Have the state own the means of production! I think you may be onto something there!" and now I'm blocked.

Did they take away your giant shit-stirring paddle at the same time?
