  1. Your very correct - here in Australia, during COVID-19, food prices skyrocketed - yes some were because of natural disasters and COVID-19 things: like supply and transportation and staff and lockdowns etc ......... BUT The supermarkets, both made record profits !!??

  2. I think the same is/was happening with the EPA ?

  3.  @jennifermcdonald5432  okay - yes, i what you mean. Perhaps over time with more Americans travelling and these videos, they will question there American situation and think - hang on, why are we the best, when SO much is wrong !? Lol 😂

  4. Sorry, it was suppose to say: sorry, I SEE what you mean - left the "see" out.

  5. This is when, they - Chinese / China turned to safe, cheap - exchange rate - milk, from Australia and baby formula type thingys ? LoL Relatives emptying shelves to send to China - China treats Australia and Australians with contempt. Same with the emptying of toilet paper at the beginning of COVID-19 Chinese man found and charged over reselling

  7. It slips through the cracks, because the government institutions, are corrupted. Via, connections, lobbying, political donations, jobs for the boys after government, shares, company connections/interests, etc Same old same old !! If they are all connected at the top, they have the power ( but actually very weak, and cowardly ), to avoid the scrutiny. This is worse than a movie

  8.  @MickH60  yep - and none of our petrol comes from Russia - seriously - with the take up of electric vehicles and better economy, the demand would go down, supply the same, so cost should go down, but they restrict supply to keep profits. Same with electricity - solar, wind take up, some off the grid - so demand down, supply higher than ever, particularly with feed in, so price SHOULD come DOWN ...... but, it has skyrocketed. With all the profits they have been making for so long - why haven't they invested in increased pole and line and grid capacity and getting the damn things underground - then storms and fires wouldn't have such an impact, physically and financially With everything that is going on - people don't need extra financial burden when it can be avoided

  10. I think we are being a bit harsh on Ian - after all, he wouldn't be doing reactions on other countries unless, he was genuinely interested in the rest of the world. And he genuinely admires what other countries do and he WILL criticize his own country when it is called for - this is an American that we should be happy about

  11. Australia grows heaps of canola crops

  12. Perhaps he may have been thinking about, Palm Oil ?

  13. There is a lot of truth in this - and it appears to be a common thread : it is not easy to find American food products on Australian supermarket shelves. If it is not Australian, it is usually, Asian, European, Kiwi or even South American. The latest boom food thing in Australia, from the US is Hershey's products and others - junk food I have tried some, and seriously, it is overrated. This is backed up by many reaction videos, of people comparing junk food from around the world to US junk food. And again, when Americans do try food overseas, that is also available in their own country, and they say it tastes different and better, that's because of the different, enforced, inspected, ingredients and true ingredients that make it up. The classic one was, the American lady that last year, bought a common, mass produced brand, loaf of bread in a common supermarket and was totally astonished by the taste and quality. Same with our Cadbury chocolate and McDonald's.

  14. So, yes, a key thing here is: avoiding " processed foods " - as health experts keep telling us ! Eating fresh food is probably the safest and often the cheapest. And definitely the healthiest But then again: pesticides, insecticides and herbicides and GM food - means, how can we be sure - Organic Certified? Is that label fake as well ?
