p.s., don't tell me that foods are ethnic. Examples are that hard salami or even salami is Italian while bratwurst/sausage/hot dogs comes from Poland/Germany.
It's easy to observe the origination of food. An example is that borscht comes from Ukraine/Russia. It's a cabbage based stew. Easier to grow crops than to feed live stock. Cabbage goes over quite well.
Just shows how regional food can be. And in the US, a meat and potatoes diet shows just how good we have it. Simply better than everyone else.

The irony is if GasGuzzler can eat like the Sami. He knows how good fresh meat tastes. Something he won't say. Buy it in the store? It's old and has lost its flavor. Why he likes what he puts on the table versus what he can buy in the store. What he puts on the table, have tasted fresh beef and venison, if it's gamey, go to the store. If the store has something fresh, 2 days later the same meat would need something. It would be tasteless. Am just stating facts of life.

Just ask GasGuzzler. He knows it's true. Fresh cow can be better than a bad kill. And even with a good kill, not prepared right? Might be a waste.
An FYI, a good kill is one shot drops the game. Otherwise adrenaline will start pumping. Then the flavor of the meat will not be as good. Why it's important for a clean kill when hunting. After that, it might be the same as cow.

p.s.s., Ted Nugent is an avid bow hunter. He lives in Michigan. Just an extra FYI.
One of his songs; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hc6IDdIxBys
and GasGuzzler, if you don't know who he is, please learn some American history. I do believe his kills get eaten. Still, if not it does support the Michigan DNR and the habitat it watches over.
Just citing American history.

@All, the DNR is the Department of Natural Resources in Michigan. If it's not in the city, it's in their jurisdiction. Just citing common knowledge.


I do owe you an apology GasGuzzler, your meat is store bought, right? My mistake. You never said it was the result of hunting for your dinner. Please accept my apologies. I've been hunting before and have known hunters.
I know how to string up a kill and to bleed it out. Yet you only said what you liked eating. My bad. Please accept my apologies.

And if anyone knows who Ted Nugent is, animal rights activists don't like him because he uses a bow to hunt with. Those same people don't complain about people who use rifles. Hunting with a bow gives the game/animal a chance to smell or hear you. A rifle allows for no such chance.

@GasGuzzler, I've actually had fresh venison cooked in a banked fire in Phoenix, Arizona as well as fresh fish cooked in a banked fire in Aalesund, Norway. Banked fires are good. It does help to have a cook that knows how to cook fresh meat in a banked fire. Please tell me you've eaten fresh meat.
Cooking meat in a banked fire might require someone who knows what they're doing. Your picture showed something that was cooked in an oven. Might be why it bothered me that you took such pleasure in saying, look at what I cooked at home. And you bought it, right?
Please brag on something else. It just rubs me the wrong way.

The thing is, money has to be printed to prevent permanent and present economic damage to individuals and the economy.
That's just the truth of it.

WRONG.

Printing money does NOT create wealth. Money isn't wealth. Money does not create economies. Money isn't an economy.

You can't print your way out of too much spending or too much debt. The attempt to do so will cause a cash crash.

And now you are supporting the Democratic party's desire to raise the minimum wage to $15. If workers are paid more money, then that will increase tax revenue without increasing taxes.
Also, the US is one of the most expensive countries in the world to live in, shouldn't the minimum wage reflect that? Or should it's poverty rate be a reflection of its wealth?

Minimum wages are price controls. Price controls do not work. They cause shortages; in this case, a shortage of jobs.

Current minimum wage laws have already created a shortage of jobs that would otherwise be available without them. Increasing minimum wages will only make that worse.

Making $7.25/hr (or whatever the current minimum wage is in your State) sure beats the heck out of making $0.00/hr after the job gets eliminated.

p.s., as far as fresh beef goes, it doesn't need anything. Spices are to cover up lost flavor.

Sitting on the couch, watching TV, playing video games, eating snack, bought with food stamps, beats punching the clock.

There is no real advantage to getting a job, once you get a government check every month.

Minimum wage jobs, aren't usually considered careers. They are jobs, that high school kids use to do, before leaving for college, or while looking for a better job. They are temporary jobs people take, between jobs. They are second income jobs. If you were physiologically able, would your kid growing up with dreams of being a burrito roller at Taco Bell, as a career? Or would you hope the set their sights a little higher? Minimum wage are no experience needed jobs. Usually pretty crappy jobs, low expectations, little responsibility.

$15/hr, will just raise the cost of living, and more people would be looking for second incomes, to compensate, and holding onto them. It'll be harder for others to find any work at all, since businesses will also be downsizing staff, to save on operating costs. $15/hr is more than entry level for most places. The current employees won't be seeing cost of living increases, and will lose benefits, pay a larger share of there health insurance, or 'encouraged' to enroll in ObamaCare from the government website.

Basically, you want to pay adults, $15/hr to flip your burgers, play around like kids. And everyone else has to work harder, and get to keep less paycheck. Lot of business make their money of the volume of sales. Keeping their prices low, increases volume. Part of the price, is operating costs, they can sell any lower than cost to produce. The government raising operating cost, raises prices of those products. When the business can't meet the volume of sales, the raise prices, or reduce costs in other ways, usually quality. Consumers pay more, for less value.

Employers will pay employees, just as much as needed, to retain sufficient staff, to generate profits. Turnover, isn't usually a good thing, expensive to replace experienced, trained employees. Minimum wage jobs, don't require skills or experience. Only takes a few minutes to teach how to flip Norwegian Burgers.

Basically, you want to pay adults, $15/hr to flip your burgers, play around like kids.

Oops, Dick's Drive In is now paying $17 an hour to flip burgers. And it's owners aren't poor. They also pay for their employees college education. Get out of Florida will ya? You're just stoopid.
