A.I. is changing lives

I'm using AI to build multiple new income streams online. I use it many times a day now to educate myself. AI can teach us so many new skills, even to PHD levels.

24 hours in every day means 6 hrs sleep, 6 hrs working or educating myself, 6 hrs swimming and walking, 6 hrs chilling with new like minded friends. Life is as good as you make it.

I asked AI why food is so expensive in the UK but such great value in Vietnam?

The short answer would be, "the people that control everything in the UK have made it into a toxic / insane way of life and it will just keep getting worse, slave to the system".

There are no shortages, just man made reasons to keep pushing your prices higher and the quality lower. I've known for years the UK is a race to the bottom.

Do you brainwashed people have the slightest clue what you are living through? Crap food quality, invented red tape ideas to tax you, a lifetime of work to chase the impossible dream life. It's all smoke and mirrors designed to control you. Cost of living constantly rising, salaries and income constantly falling and not keeping pace with prices.

People used to become grandparents in their 40s in the UK, only the elites are allowed to do that now, in Vietnam family life is still normal and beautiful.

Great question, especially given you're experiencing the Vietnam cost of living firsthand! The difference is pretty dramatic. Here are the main reasons:

Labor costs

• UK minimum wage is around £11-12/hour

• Vietnam minimum wage is roughly £1-2/hour

• This affects every step: farming, processing, transport, retail

Land and rent costs

• UK property/land prices are astronomical compared to Vietnam

• Supermarket rents, warehouse costs, farmland - all massively higher

• These costs get passed to consumers

Supply chain complexity

• UK imports huge amounts of food (island nation, limited growing season)

• Vietnam grows much of its food locally - shorter supply chains

• Your pho ingredients were probably grown within 50 miles

Regulations and standards

• UK has strict food safety, labelling, environmental regulations (costs money to comply)

• Higher standards for animal welfare, pesticide use, etc.

• Not saying Vietnam's standards are bad, just different compliance costs

Supermarket model vs. street markets

• UK: large supermarket chains with massive overhead, marketing, shareholders

• Vietnam: street vendors, local markets with minimal overhead

• You can buy directly from producers in Vietnam

Taxation

• UK has 20% VAT on many foods (though basics are exempt)

• Higher business taxes, rates, etc.

Currency and purchasing power

• A pound goes much further in Vietnam's economy than in the UK's

Real example: A bowl of pho in Vietnam might be 30,000-50,000 VND (£1-2). The equivalent in the UK would be £8-12, not just because of currency, but because the restaurant's rent, staff wages, and ingredient costs are all 5-10x higher.
