  1. He's more of a dickhead than a loon. He knows exactly what he is doing.
  2. Some of the best food I've had was in Croatia.
  3. So if anyone is in Miami, there is a place called El Carajo that has unquestionably the most legit paella I've ever seen outside of Spain. Seriously over the top good. But that is only half the story. It's changed a lot since I first learned of it, but originally it was wild as hell. I found this place during a sailing event on Biscayne back about 15 years ago. I drove down from Virginia, and a girl who was sailing another class asked if I could tow her boat down for her. So when my crew and I got down there, she took us out to dinner as a thanks with some other sailors. One of the local hosts picked a place that did real large pan paella, you call in advance, tell them your party size and roll in. She text us the address and we head out. When we get to the place on the map, all I see is a gas station, so I'm like shit, we are in the wrong place. As soon as I start to drive off, I see her come out if the gas station quicky mart. I think to myself, wtf. So we park and go in, and literally through a gas station store, past the motor oil and the pork rinds, is a doorway to the most majestic wood paneled room with hundreds of bottles of wine. It's absolutely mind bending. Turns out the best Spanish restaurant in the states was in the back room a Miller Mart. These days they actually took over damn near the whole building so it's not as wild. Still phenomenal food though.
  4. Made some last week, always a winner!
  5. Sheeit. Spain crushes it.
  6. Not probably, definitely. As I said, Europe, and pretty much everywhere other than America, had a wildly different food distribution system. We have industrialized it beyond any recognition. If you look at dollars per calorie, the US is certifiably insane in how cheap it is.
  7. One of the my favorite sayings, which I get to pull put every time someone says "Man consumer spending is really holding up", is give an American 5 dollars, and he will spend 6. The truest thing I've ever come across
  8. It is. And it's hard to do, we are human and we feel things. A bunch of which are irrational. But I don't take anything for granted and feel immense gratitude for my life. I don't think he means like that
  9. In what is sure to be a wildly popular opinion, I've said for, oh I don't know, 20 years now, food needs to be considerably more expensive than it is.
  10. The problem as I have always seen it, is that these sorts of consequences are usually so slow and insidious for the population writ large that no one notices until it's way too late.
  11. Since when has Barro been a moderatel liberal.
  12. Honestly, that's already happening pretty widely. We are down to just a handful of contractors in our segment.
  13. The concrete guys are definitely going to take an ass whipping
  14. Cost of material will absolutely go way up. Work load is tbd though. I have a suspicion we get a sugar rush high then collapse ala 2008.
  15. Yes, but what I think most people miss is there are many labor pools. It isn't just "construction". We essentially nothing to do with say framing, or concrete, or structural, among others.
  16. Believe it or not we have zero immigrants on payroll. We had a brief flirtation in the early 00's but it did not go well. I'm honestly not sure if we even have anyone of Hispanic background right now. I think we must, just because of the odds, but I can't think of anyone off hand.
  17. A lot of that is because the food delivery system is so much more localized and less industrialized than the US. Which the upside is much fresher food in most countries.
  18. Trifling eating motherfuckers in this thread.
  19. Because it takes a much longer time span than I think most people realize. Yes, he can make ot nominally shittier short term, but as @wood and @956 Worldwide and @InkaUtexas will tell you, there is also a shitload of inertia. It takes a long time to turn an aircraft carrier. And the military doesn't take kindly to being told how to do things.
  20. Do you even USA bro
