The Tucker Carlson grocery price video (Russia is so cheap you'll be radicalized, folks!) is tragic & funny.
My guy, the grocery bill you're rhapsodizing about is ~SEVENTY PERCENT of a median Russian weekly salary (13.4k RUB) 🧵

2/ Ignore Tucker & the many accounts spamming the video.
Russia is in a well-documented food affordability crisis.
Even before Putin's disastrous invasion, Russians struggled to afford food.
Now it's so bad Putin felt compelled to apologize for skyrocketing *egg prices*
3/ Tucker probably shouldn't retire to Russia & take a pension.
With his fancy taste in groceries & as an average Russian pensioner, he'd spending 43% percent of his MONTHLY pension on a single grocery store trip.
But actually, I wonder about that Ballet he attended...
4/The ballet.. I place Carlson in the best seat, VIP Lower Boxes.
Tried & failed to find pricing for the ultra-exclusive seat.
Upcoming ballet: *cheapest* LB zone starts above $1000 dollars. He's in the best.
So, probably *multiples* of an average Russian's monthly income.
6/ The man is trapped.
His Angry Everyman act pays the bills.
But real Tucker, Posh Tucker, fancies Ballet, nice things, & the company other elites.
Now that he's unmoored from Fox's giant production team, the act keeps slipping.
Like this bizarre sequence.
