Sounds like your relatives just have shitty taste.

America has lots of great food, and also lots of shitty food, as well as lots of people who prefer the latter.

>> No.4616379

Sounds like your relatives just suck. Spray on butter? Terrible. Bad chocolate? Hershey's by any chance? Plastic cheese? Yeah....no good. Cereal that changes milk color? Made for obese little beasts. Bad tea? usually owned by people who don't drink tea to show they're "sophistamacated" Bad chips/crisps? Cheap brand. Hate to break it to you, your family is white-trash, and would eat terrible food anywhere they live.

How common is it for Americans to use the setup in pic related for their bathrooms?

I went to visit some relatives in Iowa, and got to stay at their house. They lived in a pretty small city and had to do this because of something that had to do with their city sewage treatment.

Essentially you had to throw the used toilet paper in a separate bin and then also scoop the biggest turds back up and put them in yet another separate bin.

I've experienced the TP thing in hotels like Cyprus, Spain and Greece but the scoop thing came as a complete shock and I thought they were joking.

Could some American shed some light on this? How prevalent is it?

Thanks.

http://www.statisticbrain.com/gun-ownership-statistics-demographics/

If one simply looks at the white population of every nation, White Americans are arguably the most developed in the world (when a range of indicators are examined). This is all the more impressive because there are 200 MILLION of them and they are surrounded by 100 million non-whites dragging them down.

White Americans truly are the Master Race.

Even the British acknoledge American superiority.

Nope, it's the devaluation of existing currency that causes inflation. Look here on BIS. www.bis.org.

>> No.4616615

>>4616610

Exactly, but the stock market is tied to active businesses, which means as the currency devalues, they increase prices and their "increased profits" (actually just currency inflation much of the time) is reflected in stock prices.

So you put currency into stocks because its an easy way of keeping your currency at value commensurate with its value at the time of investment.

Of course there's risk based on the business' success as well, but that's why there are index funds.
