No more dolls for our lovely baby girls (so 2016). A strict limit of two, maybe three.
Well, he did have a point there. Hyper-consumerism is what got Americans into the hole they've fallen into in the first place.
Watch how often American YouTubers in Australia have commented on the lack of choice in Australian supermarkets... if there aren't 60 brands of everything on the shelves, they're conditioned to think they're in the third world.
And in some perverted way, Yankists see hyper-choice when hyper-consuming as evidence of hyper-freedom.
Yankists have choice because of foreign free trade. You can go to a Puerto Rican market, a Colombian market, a Polish market. People connect and experience culture through food. It makes foreigners feel at home - that's another thing unique to America: everybody comes from somewhere else.
Its soul food, its hot dogs, pizza. Even domestic brands like Budweiser and Pabst - all foreign imports.
This is the essence of what America is. It's not about Coles verses Woolies, it's about the rich multicultural tapestry that is America.
When people look towards America, this is what they value. If your DL wants to sabotage this, he's killing the American dream.
Some people are too dumb to realize this.
You?
The American dream is to have an open border so you can easily get Columbian, pesto Rican and Venezuelan food?..
Even for you, that's a stretch.
Go open a green vegetable juice bar next to a mcdonalds and tell us how many people are living the dream
You see, now this is you speaking your lines. You've been clearly instructed.
Say this, Sky says.
You say this.
Say that, Sky says.
You say that as well, right on cue, exactly how you're told.
Meister and I were having a cosy discussion about consumption and free trade, but you've been instructed to plop border regulations in, as you do.
You know, it's like when Mrs Scoot pops in to say excuse I, darling, I've been finding it hard to get those lovely Lebanese cucumbers you like lately. Would you prefer I pick up the normal English ones instead?
And you say, oh, a boat of Sri Lankan Tamils were caught off Western Australia yesterday, so what would you expect? Despicable stuff.
Now, Mrs Scoot has few options to respond. She could press her point and cop a lecture about the Superior Man overcoming all obstacles, or she could finish getting ready to join her friends for bowls.
I know which option I'd take.
You?
