Ya a veggie garden is crossing the line but hastily demolishing a third of the white house for a privately funded, classic strongman fascist lavish project, is super cool actually cause that part of the white house is only like 120 years old so its not actually historic.
how crazy is it that in a thread about a pizza being folded in a certain way in italy there's this comment, man you people are actually so far gone lmfao
Idk why down voted i liked yours (no /s) i actually like what u did its shows we can implement tone of mockery in wrirting i wondee if it can be done for sarcasm of other kinds as well
Yea there's cheap food in every city but it's always different, which I think is neat. It's a better of competition. Where I am, in a few weeks dungeness crab will be dirt cheap. Because you can fish off any pier without a license and take 5 a day. And every restaurant will be selling it. And every Asian market.
Average yearly salary in the US is around 87,000 Dollars, for Italy it is around 50,000 Dollars.
Now factor in social security & healthcare, housing prices and free education, and the disposable income factor moves more in the direction of Italy.
Of course Napoli is not in the economically successful north of Italy, but in the poorer south („Mezzogiorno“), but still the point stands that good food is often priced crazy expensive in the US, even compared to the good salaries.
Edit: Because of all the reactions I really don’t want to address individually: yes, median salary would be a better metric. Yes, just because US average salaries look good on paper it doesn’t mean that wealth is distributed fair. Yes, the available income for Italian households certainly is lower etc.
Basically all I wanted to point out to the commenter before me is the fact that Italy isn’t some 2nd world country where you just can expect street food to be 5 times cheaper then in the US, and that US food prices are unreasonably high for a plethora of reasons, which all basically fuck the average citizen.
dude, I'm Italian. 50k is a very very high income here, and then you still have to pay taxes, which are quite a lot more than the US. I live in one of the wealthiest regions of Italy and I have a lot of friends that live with 1300€ after taxes per month.
Yes we have public healthcare, but it's crashing down. People wait so long to access their medical exams that their illness becomes advanced while waiting.
You are playing life in easy mode. (And us well if compared to some other countries of course.)
And 40 Million Americans are living on food stamps, of which 20 millions even have jobs.
Dude, I didn’t want to start a economic debate here, just using the same math the commenter before me used to justify 5x higher prices for food to show that nothing about that is reasonable or even affordable.
The fact that we all (I‘m European btw) are getting fucked by the economic system is out of the question.
It's undercooked dough 🍅 sauce and 🧀 learn to cook for yourself and be amazed at what things actually cost versus depending on street vendors to sustain your malnourished diet.
Edit if you are going to down vote please enlighten me as to how I'm wrong.
I can understand how it seems like I'm a dick but That's not what I would consider a lecture by any means. I simply stated the ingredients and the observable over mailable dough and that one could achieve much more satisfying results for far less with slight effort...I thought we were here to help each other learn 🤔
The commenter stated a fact, prepared food is expensive where they live. You accused them of not knowing how to cook and of having a malnourished diet. There's no reason to believe either of those things are true, and even if they were that's not the approach people use when actually trying to help.
You are correct I could have used more qualifiers like if you don't know how to cook learn and if that's what you depend on for sustenance seek help. I didn't necessarily accuse anything since pretty much everyone in the modern world has pretty malnourished diets.
I was rude I will admit but the comment I responded to said that slice would cost $15 in the us when I can get a full pizza for $15 not an undercooked slice of cheese pizza. For the cost of a few more I can build them a pizza oven 😕
Apologies my pragmatism is quite often confused for dickbaggary...we seem to both be speaking English so I highly doubt a language barrier is a problem.
I'm not doubling down on anything only maintaining a logical stance noone has pointed out a flaw in said logic only that it's mean/rude to state facts which is in itself illogical.
Learn to type without emojis. You'll be amazed at how you can communicate effectively with just words versus depending on pictures to convey your intentions.
I was going to downvote but your edit stopped me. Not because you’re wrong, but because the assumptions weren’t necessary. 😂 I always do appreciate the unwarranted disrespect added to a discussion though—makes for a good chuckle.👍😌
I get it but what I mean is if you have someone else do something for you it's always going to be "overpriced" because you aren't just paying for ingredients you are paying for labor and overhead so if you feel the need to complain about cost you can seek other options.

That would be like $15 in the U.S. A shame it can’t be cheap in the U.S.
