Good to see you finally coming out as a bona fide racist. You've been circling the drain sine you've got here. No question now.

I repeat, pity, you showed promise.

Why is it that every suburb that houses numerous indigenous people seems to become a poorer place to live?

Well that is a question everyone in Australia should be asking.

First of all the First peoples.

Not a bad thing, either.

I did a music cruise out of Florida. Most people there assumed we drink Fosters. They all drank it because it was the cheapest

It's available at most online bottle shops. Dan's advertise it, but you won't see it many bottle shops. It's imported of course. It's brewed in Manchester, but there was talk of it trying to make a comeback. That was before Covid. Its reputation is very tainted, so it will be difficult to make a comeback.

If you want Carslberg, Budweiser or Coors, you'll have a better chance of finding them in physical stores. Corona and Peroni are commonplace. Even I drink those.

Whenever I go to Vienna there are bars there that have huge awnings out the front covered in Fosters advertising, and my relatives always try to get me to go into those pubs.

"They'll have the beer you like".

This pub is in Vienna:

Third-world countries generally produce primary products as their exports. Australia has a large farming and mining industry. What little we produce in other industries is only a fraction of what other first-world societies produce.

We can be a third-world country with first-world living conditions.
