(74,396 posts)The young man struck up a conversation with me, because, well, they cannot ever shut their mouths.
He began spewing how much better russia is than the USA because they don't have to pay taxes.
I told him I don't know a lot about russia because their govt always has lied consistently about conditions there. I told him, though, "one thing I do know is they don't have access to food like we do here." That got his interest.
I continued, asking him how he would like to stand in line for hours to buy only a loaf of bread. Then, when it was his turn, only to be told there was no bread for him to buy.
All the color drained from his face. Lol
I continued, but if you really love russia, I'll buy you a one-way ticket so you can live your dream. (Of course, I wouldn't, but I could see this kid, skin & bones, likely loaded with parasites from the pervasive pattern of walking around without shoes on, would have quite an aversion to hunger.)
He declined the offer.
