[QUOTE="Seadog, post: 4220002, member: 9018"] I think what a lot of people are missing with the price of these groceries in Russia is that there is a big difference in the conversion rate between the US dollar and the ruble. Maybe as not as much as there use to be. Back in the 90s it could’ve been as great 10 to 1 if not more. My memory isn’t great but I’d say the average Russian was maybe making $500 a month if not less. In the 80s over in Istanbul, the average soldier was making maybe $50 No different than down in Mexico. The average person making $10 a day right now. The difference in wages isn’t that these people are totally impoverished. That’s just how much our money is inflated compared to theirs. The average Russian makes about 14,000 a year which comes out to 1,240,000 ruples. Minimum wage a month is 16,262 roles a month or $194 US. I think the main point that Tucker is trying to show is that sanctions on Russia isn’t having the effects that the government wants or that the propaganda media is implying. Anyways, I’m about to post a link that explains the difference in wages between the US and Russia. [URL]https://www.timedoctor.com/blog/average-salary-in-russia/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
