I am sure there are Somalians and Ethiopians who spend much less. You are welcome to go and dine with them.

Thanks, but I prefer to visit more advanced societies. Oddly enough, none of the food I have eaten during those travels has gotten me sick.
Even more oddly enough, it's you, not me, who is making arguments for the closer-to-free markets both these countries share.
Guess the free market isn't working in Somalia or Ethiopia, is it?
Next time you might consider thinking through the numbers you suggest are a measure of the point you're trying to make, so your response is something more effective than "why don't you just leave if you don't like it".
What's next, are you going to take your ball and go home and tell your mommy I've been mean to you?
No, but I ate sushi from an open-air fish market in Taipei. No issue. Ate at more than one place in China where I was the only caucasian. Zippo. Indonesia? The food was fabulous and dirt cheap! They warned me not to eat street food in Bangkok. My digestive tract was just fine afterwards. I guess I am just lucky.
In Singapore, the food was beyond fabulous. And despite being the most expensive place in the world to live and a country with virtually no farmers (fins, you will want to note that), the food is amazingly cheap. For instance, you could get lunch, say of rice, duck, and two vegetables for $3USD, and the food in Singapore is among the safest in the world. The same reason it's safe here: No some fantasy self-regulating free-market BS, but rather strong regulation.
Now, it's not all sunshine and roses in the rest of the world. The only place I could get a good steak on that side of the world was Tokyo, and, man, it was expensive! I think they said the cow was massaged every day. The Japanese are an odd bunch.
What was your experience in South Korea and Egypt?
Or do you just have such an aversion to any country whose flag isn't the Stars & Stripes that you believe everything you read on the Internet?
I only take advice from the few individuals in position to help me advance my level of profit. You are certainly not in their league.
Regarding Somalia and Ethiopia, ,, it was you who made the statement regarding places where less is spent on food than the developed non ****holes I pointed out. If you want cheaper food than the nations I listed,,, have at it.
As far as your childish closing comment,,,, In business, I play to win. Not to be fair, not to look good not for honor. I play to win. Nothing else matters.
If I leave with the football,,, it means I beat your *** to the point you didn't want anything to do with that ball anymore and left it on the field of play.

I'm quite sure I've lead to more profit in my career, where we measure results in millions and billions, than you have, but think what you want.
Thanks, I got it the first time....and I would continue to ignore the second edge on that sword if I were you, too.
Your profit-at-all-costs attitude was clear long before you posted this.
Who's talking about winning in business? We're talking about your childish responses, like the misdirection to Somalia or Ethiopia, not football or your business. We were talking about how your numbers did not -- at all -- make the argument you were making.
So, instead of simply saying, "You know what, Mike, you're right and here's a better number", instead you've again chosen to focus on the ad hominem instead of the factual part and where you're simply mistaken.
It wouldn't kill you, you know.
And what happens if you poison the water we drink or the air we breathe?
I guess we should just move rather than saddle you poor farmers with more soul-cruhsing regulation, right?

It's not just the farmers it's the handlers along the way.
I eat organic fruit and produce and do not eat beef or pork or mutton.
I do eat fish. Local snapper and Norwegian farm raised salmon.
I do not trust minimum wage employees to prepare the food that I put into my body.
That's why all corporate food chains are on my "do not eat there list".
Tell that to Flint Michigan.
Oh, yeah, those dreaded environmental regulations!!!
Then the whole host of health problems and diseases that follow are just the price to be paid for your type of "progress", I suppose.
Or are you still under the delusion that the market will just self-regulate itself, all the science to the contrary is incorrect, and the Earth is so limitless that it doesn't matter what we do to it?
You know, kind of like your type of "experts" like to say....
"Today is MINE"
No false confidence whatsoever. Just stating facts, and you will note I didn't start the **** waving either.
In a way, you're right about one thing, I'm wrong all the time.
Just not in this thread.
Whatever you say revenue generator. Lol

Do you know who Rick Snyder is?
In this thread, it has been indeed.
You ready for your next lesson, villein?
If so, see post #49.

What I was suggesting is that your description of the Flint, Michigan water problems as a result of "the ineptitude of decades of Democratic leadership" is simply not true, and completely ignores the contribution of the single person most responsible for it.
Although you seem to still be a bit confused as to his role, now you know his name.
It's going to be raining for a little while longer..... Anything else I can clear up for you?
Not entirely true. While the local government leadership was lacking, one of the problems was their water being the Flint River. The water in the Flint River is of poor quality, and was severely degraded during the 1970s, due to the presence of fecal coliform bacteria, low dissolved oxygen, plant nutrients, oils, and toxic substances. In 2001, the state ordered the monitoring and cleanup of 134 polluted sites within the Flint River watershed, including industrial complexes, landfills and farms laden with pesticides and fertilizer.

So while it may have only been a minor part of the problem, Farming and regulation played a very small role in the water problems of Flint Michigan.

Not really interested in talking about me. If you'd like we can take it to PM and talk to either one.
You need another hug?
That is alright, , I have certain minimal standards regarding who I pm.
