    But his math is correct?

    ¢25 in 1953, 72 years ago, is $3.03 when adjusted for inflation according to US Inflation Calculator.

    And the current gas price is $2.4 per gallon in Iowa where he is from. (Not sure where he went to college but whatever.)

    It’s ¢60 cheaper per gallon now, when adjusted for inflation.

    If he’s right about the price he paid, he’s also right about it being cheaper now.

    Surely Trump didn’t help during all these 72 years but the math is correct, even if the logic is flawed.

    That’s not what saying something like that would mean but I’m not going to laugh at someone who isn’t a native speaker for that. It’s a weird reply though.

    I know what you meant. I know you meant figuratively. I speak and write at a native level. My reply was meant to be facetious. I’m not going to laugh at someone who can’t detect sarcasm though. 👍👍

    My point is that you don’t have to use olive oil.

    I told you, I want to. I know I don’t have to. I am the one reaching for my own ingredients when I cook. Nobody is forcing me.

    I don’t use it for everything. Not sausages, not burgers, etc. But when I fry vegetables and onions and roots, usually, yes.

    Good luck with the olive oil fried rice though!

    Weird wish. I never make fried rice, but thanks I guess. 🤨😐

    Peace! ✌️

    painfully ironic

    Oh nooo, the paAaAaiN.

    🫩

    im using my freedom not to make my food taste weird

    News flash buddy, taste is subjective.

    Use olive oil for whatever you like. Don’t use it for whatever you like.

    I’ll use it for what I like. I like to fry my onions and garlic with olive oil. 👌💪

    Peace! ✌️

    This is such an American take. I use olive oil to fry onions regardless of what nationality the food is lol. It’s just onions. I can grow this up north in Scandinavia. Even indoors.

    I’m just making “food”. Our influences are so close to us we don’t really put a “country” on our food. We mix and match and experiment with different food cultures, np. Don’t need to stick to “Italian” for one dish. You can use influences from wherever.

    We don’t really say “let’s make a Japanese wok.” It’s just a wok. And it can have any ingredients you like. Chicken, salmon, beef, roots, greens, whatever.

    Be free with your cooking for the love of food. ❤️👨‍🍳
