@StealthQE4 Our average restaurant meal was $45 to $55 (two people). Most expensive meal was $91 next to Saint Mark’s square in Venice. Last year in the Outerbanks, we spent ~$110 at a BBQ pit and $400 a night for crappy Hilton Garden Inn. There’s no value in USA vacations.
@FmrRepMTG The Republicans have no energy policy. In fact, with AI and “Bring Back Manufacturing” type policies, we need more capacity than ever — including wind and solar (China produces ~25% with wind and solar—arguably the country that is growing like the USA 100 years ago).
@StealthQE4 Since a Ribeye costs 2X+ here, you’d think the rancher would be wealthy right? Nope, dirt poor. All his buddies at the country club who he allowed to M&A themselves to wealth are collecting all the $$$.
@StealthQE4 He says a lot of nonsense, including his rant on Communism. I just came back from a two week trip to Europe. Our average restaurant bill (two people) was $40 to $50. Highest was $91. In Italy there is an Outback knockoff called Out West, 18.99 Euro Ribeye (no tip either).
@MGuntherCE@unusual_whales Do you know in Italy there is a knockoff chain of restaurants called “Out West?” A Ribeye dinner is $18.99 Euro, and since you don’t tip in Italy — that’s all you pay. I thought the USA is the beef Capital of the World. So why is the same dinner in Outback Steakhouse 2X?
@MGuntherCE@unusual_whales They are also getting marginalized. Soon it will be the top 10% and 1%. USA simply has no value. We spent two weeks in Europe, our average meal in a restaurant was under $50 for two people, $91 next to St Mark’s Square. Came home, $145 dinner on Saturday, $100 at Outback.
@theficouple@bryan_johnson@MichelleObama Plus Trump’s wife is also an Epstein call girl and if she wasn’t married to Trump, she would have already gotten deported by ICE (which she used to deport a former friend, turned enemy ironically).
@theficouple@bryan_johnson@MichelleObama TBH, I was hopeful on Trump in 2016, but he’s bankrupting the country like he did the Taj Mahal, and he’s grifting us to death like he did selling Trump University, his airline, and his steaks on QVC. Plus he has no class. At least the Obamas are smart and classy!

@Skye_Borg With Ionna, I finally see a life after Tesla in the USA. I took a 2,000 mile EV road trip in Europe in May. You don’t need a Tesla, but in the USA, it’s hard to do a road trip with anything else but a Tesla. I charged my Tesla 3X recently at Ionna. It’s actually cheaper.
@OrevaZSN Now the bigger question? Do you even need to watch a show if you can’t remember it? This is what I tell my wife when she is constantly telling me about new shows. I’m a busy person, I can use my time for other things.
@SawyerMerritt I had a Ram 2500 roll coal on me in my 2026 Tesla Model Y Performance. I dusted him so bad. The act is retarded. I just came back from a 2,000 mile road trip in Europe, including the Autobahn. I came back, rolled coal on. Americans are getting so stupid, country of degenerates.
@sweatystartup I auto schedule my emails to respond at 5 AM and 11 PM that way everyone knows I have incredible work ethic. I only really work 2 hours a day. I take 5 weeks of vacation a year and every federal holiday.
@brandenflasch We were in Europe in May. Our hotel in southern Germany and the Dolomites had no air conditioning. Our hotel in Venice never got below ~75-76. Our ~$1,000 a night hotel in the Galleria in Milan, never got below 78-80. Only good place was the Western alps where they had a split.
@LarryJones Are you a German Shepard? This is about the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen. I bet you are the idiot going the speed limit on the highway in the left lane in your dumb dually not towing anything. Every time you see a Tesla/EV you roll coal, yet the Tesla can “smoke you.”
@shawngorham ~$10K is Trump Tariffs. People don’t think these things affect them. Hispanics voted for Trump, and then they got harassed by ICE. Americans are eating expensive rotten fruit because of ICE.
