I'm just assuming as I'm not them, but US companies have a tendency to use these incidents as justification to increase costs far beyond their actual effects as the populace does little in response.

    Meh idk if that's true, compared to the rest of the world USA has the best food for the best prices. Europe is all skinny because they can barely afford to eat.

    Whaaaat now? I've recently been in the States and Germany. German supermarket prices were about 2/3 the cost of the same in the US, and the quality was leagues better. US produce and meat is rubbish.

    If you would put an American midwesterner to Europe. They would literally starve to death because they're not used to having such few calories. When all the Europeans came to America for the world cup, they were amazed by our variety of food. They praised us for having the best food in the world from all over the world. So many of the soccer players decided to just apply for Visas because they don't have to pay tax like they do in Europe and they could actually get their calories in and perform better. So many of them said that compared to the United States Europeans are rationing every single day. Fox News ran a report on how amazing Trump made everything them

    We need to talk about quantity. For example, Costco's don't make sense in Europe because people just can't buy that much at one time. Socialism forces you to not have the freedom to buy it! In the US I just need to take one trip to the store and I'm done for 2 weeks, but in Europe they don't allow you to do that because it will break their socialistic system. Also, the amount of meat that I could buy here is just amazing. Europeans can't have barbecues because they just can't have the meat like it's illegal
