Hi Eddie. Couldn't agree more. We're doing a kitchen renovation, running to HomeDepot every day. Tiles we liked from the display, they don't have enough in stock. Plumbing supply is not in stock, can't get anyone on the floor to help me. On top of that price is "minimum" 1.5 times higher than the per-pandemic price. Standing on HomeDepot yesterday, waiting more than 10 minutes for help, I was telling my wife, when an empire dies, it dies slowly, and these are the signs.
Truer words were never spoken in this video. The only segments growing in US are the MIC and medical industrial complex. So many things are coming together to crash our economy. It’s going to be a bumpy ride. Good for you, you’ve found a wonderful new home.
Engelska Thanks for your nice videos! So the Russian Federation and China have soon outmaneuvered the USA and Europe! Here in Sweden and the EU, our leaders have not yet understood that they shot themselves in the foot. Unfortunately, those of us who work hard or are pensioners have had to pay dearly! As a pensioner here in Sweden, after 45 years of working life which was preceded by vocational training and university, I have been rewarded with a pension that is barely enough for the essentials. So, don't let the "American way of life" affect Russia. Better with Russian traditional food instead of "American fish burger"! Take care mate!
I spend $600 in groceries a week for my family (married with 4 kids). My husband makes just barely 6 figures and we are struggling to pay rent in Colorado. 😢 I’m starting to see the lies that the West is saying about Russia …but also falling in love with this country everyday.
I did try their food once im not a fan of McDonalds to begin with but the reality is that our fast food restaurants are better outside of America. Nice to see you again bro, I will say I dont like that in Russia and other European countries they charge for sauces.. thats insane. In america and mexico you can get as much as you want feels good.
@avonmoremilk1958 It’s called shrinkflation! It’s where they conceal the aftermath of monetary inflation with smaller package sizes. They must think that we are all stupid.

I can second everything you said as I am also living in Moscow. Fast food in Moscow got better when the restaurants started buying locally produced food about 8 years ago. Russian foods are produced to a very high standard. I was told this from two food scientists from the University. I've noticed that the fast food chains are doing very well, even adding new stores. Also I have read that their profits are excellent. To bad American restaurant chains, you lose. You left behind expensive assets that you developed in Russia at enormous cost. So these sanctions were designed to reward Russia? Oh no, I've got it, Western economies are about to enjoy a huge economic crash and they didn't want to bring down Russia with them. How kind!
I have recently come to the conclusion that actually they don't care about any economy, including their own.. this whole anti-Russia thing is purely idealogical. They just don't want Russia around in the world, period. So looking at what's profitable to whom and why they're 'hurting themselves' and all those other futile exercises in logic is completely missing the boat. Russia as we know it must die as far as they're concerned and that's all that any of this is about. The sanctions were intended to destroy it, or at least help destroy it.. it's been a multi-pronged approach, but they're not showing any intention of giving up. If one thing didn't work they're willing to try many others. Nobody gives a hoot about what McDonalds or anyone else lost or gained. They are on a satanic mission that is far beyond any single question even of profit. And the people of the wester countries, you might ask?? WHERE are they??? They are absent. They are here but not here. Just notice how complacent the american people have been over the past decades to some tectonic serious changes that have happened, some of which by their nature are virtually irreversible, or at least much harder to reverse than to have avoided in the first place. But is there a peep of protest anywhere? Where is everyone??! And BTW it's not outside the realm of possibility that Texas will flip blue in this next election and once again the election will be unexpectedly and most astonishingly lost(!!), and we will see sleepy Joe go on like nothing has happened. And so.. WHERE IS EVERYONE???? Maybe the American system is a flop after all? Wasn't it George Washington who said that this system will only work if the people remain Christian? If it wasn't him it was one of the other founding fathers. I have the same question about Ukrainians.. where were they all those years when their army was shelling and pounding civilians in the eastern part of the country, burning people alive, etc.???? They were SILENT. Where were any protests? They were complacent and complicit. And hey, sometimes you pay for that eventually. Americans may similarly have to pay for all their complacence in some way.
2:20 - agreed! I have dry clean business, till october 2023 and my deals is goes very very well. especially since January 2024. I do my first clean 1 million of rubles in last February, after pay all salarues and paid taxes.I invested 20 million rubles in the purchase of a place for dry clean and for the purchase of equipment. in general, I planned that I would only pay off for 5-6 years to reach zero, but it is gaining momentum so quickly. Now, my plans to reach zero in 2 years ("Reach zero" - this is when your expenses and investments have paid off and are equal to the profit.)
Oh my gosh, you won't believe this! They messed up the number for the USA. Things are getting crazier by the minute here. Prices in stores have gone through the roof! (I'm telling you this from Denver, Colorado)
Not only are Americans paying more taxes to fight all of these unconstitutional wars. They are also paying for it with higher consumer and capital goods prices. Most of what the government finances today it does through monetary inflation (money printing and artificial credit expansion). This is what Ron Paul referred to as the inflationary tax. To get a full understanding of what is going on economically around the world all one has to do is study Austrian economics….Mises, Rothbard and Hayek.
@@MoscowPhotog I absolutely agree, wholeheartedly. Ron and I have had many conversations about the constitution and about Austrian economics over the years in his office in clute Texas.
Good morning Eddie from Mississippi USA. I used to live in Texas and I worked there also in the state prison system TDCJ. I’m a new subscriber. I love your videos.
@@MoscowPhotog ofcourse I live way up here in Northeast Mississippi now about 19 miles from Tennessee. I like it better here than I did in Texas. Although I lived in East Texas in Spring, which is just above Houston and I like that part of Texas.. I guess it’s because I lived in the Woodlands, which is a higher class area than most of Texas
Yes!! Must have extra tartar sauce and have to eat hot. They charge for the extra tarter in USA too. Can’t tell you current price, haven’t eaten at McD’s in years😂
7:46 The most recent reported U.S. unemployment rate was 3.8%. Has it even been lower? Sure, but not by much. What’s the lowest unemployment rate you’ve ever heard of? Never zero. I think 2.8% is the lowest I’ve heard. Even in the best economy there are a number of folks out of work. And you can’t find a clerk to help you at Home Depot it may be because Home Depot can’t find enough people willing to work there, which is a sign there’s very few unemployed people in that area.
@@MoscowPhotog , and Congress is about to vote for $95 Billion in aid, which will boost an already fairly strong economy. (And thanks for your personal tax dollars, too.) What’s has Russia’s central bank set the interest rate to over there? What’s the average rate on a new mortgage? The real estate market here almost came to a screeching halt when rates hit 7%, so I can only imagine what it’d be like to try afford something with a 15% or so rate. But, hey, Russia is now allowing 14-year olds to work in the tank factories, so the kids should have no problem pitching in. And I’m sure some folks are gonna snap up some cheap properties as soon as the flood waters recede.
@@mitchrodee new residential construction in Russia is throughout the country, buildings are built not by one but by sites and districts, don't worry about it. Worry about housing in US no longer available to people other than doctors/lawyers...

I like your video but I think that you are like your friendly Russian neighbours and living in a bubble with horror and mayhem happening just across the border in the South. Russia is losing 30,000 men in the war every month and leaving many of them to rot on the Ukrainian fields. You are living is a city that is doing that to its own people all across Russia. The prosperity you see is because Russia is spending 35% of its Federal budget on the military, creating jobs but failing to address its growing problems in infrastructure, social welfare, oil and gas industry, population decline. Yes it feels great for you now, but eventually all of the above will have serious consequences. I'd like to see what you have to say in 5 years time. Stay safe
Stop watching CNN. Parroting Neoliberal/neocon talking points is not the way to start an honest discussion. Get your Russian visa and come visit for yourself. I’ll personally show you around. Check out my video on traveling to Russia for more information and please share this video. Thank you for watching.
@rogerlevy57 You are delusional and do not know what you are talking about. Russia is not losing 30,000 troops a month, where did you get those figures? The casualty rate in this war is 8 to 1 in favor of Russia and Ukraine is not losing 30,000 troops a month either even though they are on the short end of the stick.

Wow! That’s insane. Praying that things improve. 🙏🏼
as a matter of fact "it tastes as a real McDonald's" does not sound as a compliment here in Russia, rather the opposite
It was a nostalgic moment for me.
It's fine. It's McDonalds. It's not great. It's not that bad for the price. Both sides love to overreact about it.
I did try their food once im not a fan of McDonalds to begin with but the reality is that our fast food restaurants are better outside of America. Nice to see you again bro, I will say I dont like that in Russia and other European countries they charge for sauces.. thats insane. In america and mexico you can get as much as you want feels good.
The way to stay ahead of wholesale price inflation is to serve smaller portions for the same price. But sooner or later you have to raise prices.
Yup. You can ask for extra ketchup and they’ll hand you a handful of packets.
