View Full Version : Stupid shit in Medellin
I pay premium for the girls I'm seeing, but you won't find my girls working the streets or casas. They are of much better quality looks wise, they don't serve 5-15 dicks a day to make ends meet. I spend a lot of time sourcing them out and vetting them and more often than not, I get what I pay for.Does this change the fact that they are prostitutes taking your dick (and the dicks of others no matter what the quantity) for money?
Since you fly to another country in order to hire said prostitutes does that make you a International Trick?
Do these methods make you better than any other International Trick posting up in these threads?
A bottle of water costs around $1 at a grocery store, while the same bottle of water may cost $5 at the airport. When I buy $5 bottle, I totally understand that it is the same bottle that I can buy at the grocery store, but I agree to pay the convenience fee or whatever you call it........We think differently and that's fine because that's what being human is about but I never allow myself to think I have been scammed whether it is for $1 or $1000. You do not think that you are being scammed at the airport, I do, and never ever buy anything there.

You do not think that you are being scammed at the airport, I do, and never ever buy anything there.Your point is fine but you're wrong that it's a scam. A price scam is when you are getting lied to about the value of something. In this case, you are not being scammed because the airport is not telling you that their water is better or worth more than a grocery's water. They aren't telling you that there is no water available outside of the airport or anything like that. They are simply charging more because they have a captive audience / the first point of purchasing for people coming off a flight.
Labeling filtered tap water as pure Fiji spring water is a scam while selling Fiji spring water at twice the price of filtered tap water is not a scam (it might be a scam for a company to produce that water and claim it's better though). It's the same reason buying a $10 hotdog at a baseball game isn't considered a scam, just a rip-off. You're still getting something to eat and it's what you expect, it's just marked up due to audience capture which is annoying.

The shit people say to feed their ego. Look at me, I'm a premium payer! Like first class on a plane. If you were really about that life, you would have your own plane and not bragging about first class. I guess next, there will be a group like passport bros, called premium payers. Smh.
Just to be clear here. Schwab is not the only brokerage / account account that will refund fees. Fidelity Investments does as well and usually within 3 days. I believe Morgan Stanley does the same. Also, TD bank also refunds fees pending on the type of account you have. I use Fidelity and TD without any issues.
Easy way to find out is to just ask your bank.E-Trade refunds my fees but then turns around and charges me 1% 'foreign currency transaction fee,' which Schwab does not. So, I use E-Trade stateside and Schwab elsewhere. I like to travel with 3 ATM cards and 3 credit cards with no more than two cards in the same place at any time.

The airport salesperson probably has the same rent to pay but charges $5. Why does he do this? Because he knows that you cannot leave the airport to go buy the water somewhere else. That's a scam in my book. I always go the airport well fed and well hydrated and window shop only. The exception would be duty free items that are reasonably priced and that I need, of course.

What is occurring inside the airport is that the companies that sell food, drink, and other items are colluding with each other to charge higher prices to their customers because they know that TSA will not allow people to bring their own drinks into the airport.
This is a scam known as price fixing and it is illegal, however the government themselves are colluding with the airport to allow it to continue to happen. Hopefully with the new Trump administration things like this and other price fixing scams, such as with the price of gasoline, will be coming to an end.
Take a look at what Google says about what the airport is doing, Google says it is a scam too.

Here let me help with a very small list of reality.
Airports have a committee that approve your use of the space. You can not just pay the fee and open because they want a certain mixture of businesses. Even if you have the money they will not allow you to open 10 McDonalds at the airport versus other commercial spaces just do not care as long as they get paid.
Airports have extremely high rental costs per square area.
Everything (especially fresh perishable food) can not be quickly and easily be delivered. It all has to go through security and those delivery drivers need background checks.
All employees need to go through a strong background check and go through security every day to get to work.
Very high employee turnover since the employee has to travel far out of town to even get to work since most airports are outside the city.

-Gabacho.I think you might be a bit mentally malnourished if you can't understand the distinction between a scam and cutthroat business practice. The way that airlines, stadiums, zoos, theme parks operate completely suck but they are not scams. Scams relate to dishonest / illegal business practices. These situations relate to the simple dynamics of charging more because they know it is more difficult to get products otherwise. You are completely free to leave and no business is telling you that you can't order a taxi to deliver you food before you pass the security gates. Disney world is overpriced, but it's not like you are banned from leaving the park to get some food / water and wait in line to get back in.
The Airport is a special situation because of terrorism and governmental security risks. You might have forgotten but after 9/11 airports have been extremely guarded worldwide to stem terrorism and other subversive elements. The governments aren't colluding with anything; they are simply trying to provide security because another 9/11 in any country would be bad. Businesses can take advantage of those restrictions to improve their margins, but they also have to pay a cost of dealing with those restrictions on their own supply side. But then again, any company is allowed to run their business as they like. Movie theaters don't allow you to bring in food; it's not a scam, just freaking annoying. You have no real evidence of price fixing and your stupid assertion of government collusion throws your entire point into question. Be smarter next time.
Under your argument, Trump has been scamming the American tax payers for years because he has been charging the Secret Service top hotel rates at his hotel (an extremely overpriced hotel to begin with) because he is forcing them to stay there due to his own choice (this is actually illegal BTW, but I'm sure you don't care). The idea that Trump will tackle even one price fixing scam is laughable, but considering your understanding of basic economics, I'm sure you swallow whatever they tell you, and you've clearly been taking few loads already. Best to stick to the Centro scene, it definitely fits your level.

Yes, medellin has been ruined by gringos and passport bros. Its a shame, but it happens. Lets hope Trump legalizes prostitution and the passport bros stay home. LOL.I'm pretty sure that unless you were born, raised, and still live in Colombia as an adult, that you are in fact a sex tourist. Local men are not having a major impact on the sex worker market. Foreigners come from all countries; not just America. And unless they are going there for some reason other than sex; then they will have an impact.
There's plenty of guys who won't go overseas for various reasons.

Actually my understanding of economics is much more advanced than yours. I'm currently completing my bachelor's degree in business administration, and yes what the airport and as well as movie theaters and amusement parks are doing is in fact price fixing.
They are not allowing products to be sold at a fair market value. And they are all charging an inflated price so that you have to pay more. You cannot reasonably expect someone to leave the airport checkpoint to go buy food or drink at an outside location then come back to the airport and go back thru the security checkpoint again, they would miss their flight.
I've posted the screenshot from Google explaining how price fixing is a scam. You didn't post anything to back up what you said.
If anyone is taking loads it is you, bending over and taking them raw from Joe Biden and the liberal woke media.
And also the airports in Colombia do allow you to bring in outside food and drink (in large containers) thru their security checkpoints as long as it's a domestic flight. I bet you didn't even know that, did you? I even have brought an open bottle of tequila with me onto a flight to Cucuta one time. And I'm pretty sure I have more experience in Colombia the you ever will, buddy. You can now add Thailand, Philippines, and Indonesia to that list too.
Now go crawl back under your rock before I get SubCmdr to come rip you a new one.

I'm not sure what your point is. Are you trying to say I'm a sex tourist? Never did I say I was not one. Guilty as charged. You can be a sex tourist and still recognize that sex tourism has ruined medellin. Thats why I balk at contributing info on new places on these boards. Why would anyone want to share the best unknown spots with the general public. Look at how instagram has ruined tourism in general. Too many people travelling to the same places because they're too lazy to discover places on their own.
There's plenty of guys who won't go overseas for various reasons.Again don't see your point. Doesn't matter who stays home. We've already established that too many sex tourists are arriving in Medellin.

LOL.Someone at work the other day asked what can we do to stop mass shootings in the USA? I silently thought to myself, "legalize prostitution". End of story.
......We've already established that too many sex tourists are arriving in Medellin.To say that there are too many sex tourists arriving in Medellin and then to go there as a monger is unfortunate as you are knowingly compounding the problem as you see it.
I do not see going to Colombia and having paid sex with women as a problem as foreign men who do that are a small minority of the men who do that there overall. Additionally, when I go to Colombia I do loads of non-mongering tourist stuff.

Additionally, when I go to Colombia I do loads of non-mongering tourist stuff.I suppose I am speaking from a completely selfish point of view. More straight forward, I am basically saying I wish there would be less sex tourists in Medellin so I could enjoy it myself.
I doubt I am the only one with that point of view. Is anyone here wishing there were less sex tourism in Medellin for altruistic reasons?
I've actually not been to Medellin in many years and have largely given up on it in favor of other Colombian destinations.
Someone at work the other day asked what can we do to stop mass shootings in the USA? I silently thought to myself, "legalize prostitution". End of story.Completely agree. We need to take the country back from the grips of religion. Think about the feeling of complete satisfaction a man gets after sex. Imagine spreading that feeling out to all the young men in the USA. Less depression. Less suicide. Not terribly sure about mass shootings. It seems to me that there's a lot of school shootings that would not get reduced simply due to I don't think kids would be going to prostitutes.

Now cost to buy something at the airport is an issue.
Holy fuck are you guys trying to impress people that you're so brilliant that every topic you know.
That's why nobody wants to do write a report on this thread.
All the other mongers that go to Asia they actually talk about fucking the working girls.
But the Medellin thread it is argumentative.
If you x amount you overpaid.
If you have 10 you're lying.

Someone at work the other day asked what can we do to stop mass shootings in the USA? I silently thought to myself, "legalize prostitution". End of story.A woman I know got a bottle of testosterone. She shot up a dose and gave some to her friend. Thing is injectable testosterone peaks a few days after you take it, and she did not feel it. For four days, she told me she thought men and their testosterone driven sex drive was bullshit. Then on day 5, it kicked in. She would not tell me how many threesomes she and her friend had but she did say of that 48 hour period she was in the grips of testosterone fever, she spent much of her day fucking and sucking. After that, the shot wore off.
She told me that she did not know how young men dealt with it. She said all she thought about was sex and could not get enough of it. I was glad she saw what it was like. Maybe if every American female prude had to endure what my friend went through, they would understand men better.
So yeah, if you tell a guy getting laid about being a suicide bomber and dying and getting 72 virgins in heaven, he is going to laugh in your face. Find a young male virgin in the throws of adolescent testosterone levels and ask him the same question, and he may agree because he is living a sexual hell.
His is a monger board. Now cost to buy something at the airport is an issue. Holy fuck are you guys trying to impress people that you're so brilliant that every topic you know.

My time; My money; My dick; My call!
When I arrived in Medellin and posted about it. Mother fuckers rode my case about taking a taxi (said I should have taken the bus) and not knowing how to use a ATM properly because I changed 100 USD to COP at the airport to have taxi money. Then they went on to ride my case because I was not reporting: were the hos at cause I have a girlfriend there. SMH.

Imagine spreading that feeling out to all the young men in the USA. Less depression. Less suicide. Not terribly sure about mass shootings. It seems to me that there's a lot of school shootings that would not get reduced simply due to I don't think kids would be going to prostitutes.Consider that the new big category of school shootings is former attendees of the school returning to shoot up teachers and students after becoming 'transmen" (female with testosterone injections). I doubt these individuals would feel less rejected after being rejected offering money for sex to a female crack working girl.
Treating a female in psychosexual pain with testosterone injections is like treating an anorexic with GLP-1 (an obesity drug). Completely ignores the cause, maltreats one symptom.
Enough women, especially young women, but all ages these days, are sluts for Chad / Tyrone. Those of us who aren't a Chad / Tyrone have no interest in the available talent at the price points available Stateside. Nevada hookers run $5,000 for PIV with condom. Last time I received a price quote in Columbus, rate was $7 from a crack working girl, that being the going rate for one rock of crack. Clean woman was $200 and up (1998) and condom required, so roughly $2,500 today, and age 35-45 vs. 25-30 in 1998. If prostitution were legalized, you would see legals charging Nevada prices, while black market (there's always a black market) would be, $2,500 (non-Nevada) prices, with New York at Nevada prices, and Atlanta prices at crack working girl rates for crack working girls.

A vennie I fucked for $25 in Medellin is now in Charlotte, North Carolina and contacted me thru WhatsApp offering me BBFS for $60. They also have a ton of them in the Miami area I think charging between $100-300 usd. And in New York city they have set up an outdoor brothel there called market of sweethearts charging similar prices. So your whole argument doesn't hold water.

JB, just to be clear, the women I were talking about were not being treated by a doctor and were not tranny women who wished to be men. They were doing it for the LOLs. I should have asked them if the sex was better with the test or if all it did was make them more horny.
My point was not to advocate for anything other than saying sex hormones have huge influences on behavior, and those influences are often ignored.

Coming from a guy named the Derilict LOL. Actually my understanding of economics is much more advanced than yours. I'm currently completing my bachelor's degree in business administration, and yes what the airport and as well as movie theaters and amusement parks are doing is in fact price fixing.Congrats, but degree jerking is a joke for low-IQ individual. But if you want to compare, and since I have an MBA, you need to pipe down. Still, good luck with that since education is always important. Price fixing is illegal and many airports actually have restrictions on how much vendors can charge. Here is a layman's description of pricing at airports https://www.theparkingspot.com/travel-tips/airport-info/airport-food..
Again, airport vendors are very much invested in finding the absolutely highest amount they can charge without being called a rip-off but it's not a price fixing agreement. As I've said repeatedly, it sucks and should be limited but many airports are already doing that.
They are not allowing products to be sold at a fair market value. And they are all charging an inflated price so that you have to pay more. You cannot reasonably expect someone to leave the airport checkpoint to go buy food or drink at an outside location then come back to the airport and go back thru the security checkpoint again, they would miss their flight.No evidence, just conjecture. You still don't understand the basic point of audience capture and what price-fixing (collusion). I. e. What is illegal versus what is predatory.
I've posted the screenshot from Google explaining how price fixing is a scam. You didn't post anything to back up what you said.Yes dumbass, price fixing is illegal and a scam. Too bad, you didn't prove price fixing. Google reviews are conjecture, smart guy. I would have hoped your bachelor's studies would have taught you a little about critical thinking.
If anyone is taking loads it is you, bending over and taking them raw from Joe Biden and the liberal woke media.Sorry, I couldn't understand you while you guzzle establishment, oligarchy cum. If you think I give a damn about libs or conservatives, you clearly don't get it, but I've come to expect that from the MAGA cult morons. But don't worry, I won't waste time since you're already popping a gasket because I dared to criticize daddy Trump. Drink away, fella. (If you want to get pedantic, it's actually the liberal areas and airports like PDX. Portland, that are most likely to institute price hike controls, but that doesn't fit your narrative. You'll learn this when you get out of Econ 101 or whatever you're enrolled in now).
And also the airports in Colombia do allow you to bring in outside food and drink (in large containers) thru their security checkpoints as long as it's a domestic flight. I bet you didn't even know that, did you? I even have brought an open bottle of tequila with me onto a flight to Cucuta one time. And I'm pretty sure I have more experience in Colombia the you ever will, buddy. You can now add Thailand, Philippines, and Indonesia to that list too.Oh wow, I didn't understand your game. You might actually be mentally challenged. If you don't understand the difference between the customer profiles of domestic travels versus international travelers, especially in small countries like Colombia, you are clearly lost. Domestic travelers are less likely to make use of airport amenities because they are using short haul trips. E. g. If you are driving 2 hours, you are less likely to stop to get some snacks or a bathroom break compared to a 10 hour drive. It's also why the domestic terminals are "generally" more barebones, especially in smaller airports, in terms of amenities. I. e. Less restaurants, lounges, etc. They know that many travelers are arriving just in time for quick travel and are not as likely to be gearing up with a pre-flight meal or in need of a relaxing drink. The point you made actually kinda proves my point since it highlights that the supposed price-fixing of airports is not being used on domestic travelers for some random reason (you can't explain it if it's a scam), but it makes perfect sense when you realize that security is the main point for the restriction.
Now go crawl back under your rock before I get SubCmdr to come rip you a new one.SubCmdr and I disagree on costs for girls, but that has nothing to do with actual economic data and law. If we disagree, that's about taste and preference, not on made up price fixing scams at airports or MAGA nuthuggers getting mad that I criticize a corrupt, billionaire asshat for being corrupt. I don't know the guy's actual business background and I would never make a judgement on his ability, unlike you who jumped to a million conclusions, especially when I mildly criticized your daddy.

Congrats, but degree jerking is a joke for low-IQ individual. But if you want to compare, and since I have an MBA, you need to pipe down. Still, good luck with that since education is always important. Price fixing is illegal and many airports actually have restrictions on how much vendors can charge. Here is a layman's description of pricing at airports https://www.theparkingspot.com/travel-tips/airport-info/airport-food..
Again, airport vendors are very much invested in finding the absolutely highest amount they can charge without being called a rip-off but it's not a price fixing agreement. As I've said repeatedly, it sucks and should be limited but many airports are already doing that.
No evidence, just conjecture. You still don't understand the basic point of audience capture and what price-fixing (collusion). I. e. What is illegal versus what is predatory.
Yes dumbass, price fixing is illegal and a scam. Too bad, you didn't prove price fixing. Google reviews are conjecture, smart guy. I would have hoped your bachelor's studies would have taught you a little about critical thinking.
Sorry, I couldn't understand you while you guzzle establishment, oligarchy cum. If you think I give a damn about libs or conservatives, you clearly don't get it, but I've come to expect that from the MAGA cult morons. But don't worry, I won't waste time since you're already popping a gasket because I dared to criticize daddy Trump. Drink away, fella. (If you want to get pedantic, it's actually the liberal areas and airports like PDX. Portland, that are most likely to institute price hike controls, but that doesn't fit your narrative. You'll learn this when you get out of Econ 101 or whatever you're enrolled in now).
Oh wow, I didn't understand your game. You might actually be mentally challenged. If you don't understand the difference between the customer profiles of domestic travels versus international travelers, especially in small countries like Colombia, you are clearly lost. Domestic travelers are less likely to make use of airport amenities because they are using short haul trips. E. g. If you are driving 2 hours, you are less likely to stop to get some snacks or a bathroom break compared to a 10 hour drive. It's also why the domestic terminals are "generally" more barebones, especially in smaller airports, in terms of amenities. I. e. Less restaurants, lounges, etc. They know that many travelers are arriving just in time for quick travel and are not as likely to be gearing up with a pre-flight meal or in need of a relaxing drink. The point you made actually kinda proves my point since it highlights that the supposed price-fixing of airports is not being used on domestic travelers for some random reason (you can't explain it if it's a scam), but it makes perfect sense when you realize that security is the main point for the restriction.
SubCmdr and I disagree on costs for girls, but that has nothing to do with actual economic data and law. If we disagree, that's about taste and preference, not on made up price fixing scams at airports or MAGA nuthuggers getting mad that I criticize a corrupt, billionaire asshat for being corrupt. I don't know the guy's actual business background and I would never make a judgement on his ability, unlike you who jumped to a million conclusions, especially when I mildly criticized your daddy.You supposedly have an MBA but yet you resort to name calling like a child. Also you admit that the places selling bottled water inside the airport for $8 for a 600 ML bottle are a ripoff but it is not price fixing?
I don't think you even have an MBA.
You mention price caps as a solution at the PDX airport? That worked out quite well in Venezuela in case you didn't know.
And you talk all this shit about Trump and quick to call me a Maga when you don't even know annything about me, but you know what you can't dispute?
You can't dispute that Jocelyn Nungaray and Laken Riley are dead as a direct result of Biden's policies. That is the undeniable truth. Biden's policies of catch and release are the reason why those two girls were killed and the reason why their mothers have to live the remainder of their lives without their daughters, without seeing them grow up and get married, and without their grandchildren being born. Yet you blindly and arrogantly support Biden and by extension Harris?
You really are a fool.
-Gabacho.
You supposedly have an I think you said you have more advanced knowledge than him. That is a problematic statement. There are other things that I don't want to mention as they are likely to be unplesent.
Just because something is expensive does not mean it's cause is price fixing. It usually has to start with something like vendors sharing price information either publicly or privately. I have to go thru all these training classes periodically that are required by my company. Never thought I would have any use of them until now. LOL.

Lots of name calling, trump cum guzzling, and no substance in the rest of the post gabacho made...
-Gabacho.Buddy, you clearly don't understand anything I'm saying for some reason, though I imagine the Trump spunk has made you drunk. I keep telling you the difference between predatory pricing (legal, public, and unsavory) and price-fixing (illegal, collusion). One of those (predatory selling) is completely fine under capitalism unless you advocate for socialist policy like price controls (e. G. The capping of insulin prices to $35). The other is illegal because it has been deemed to be anti-capitalist and unfair to an absolute degree. There is a fine line between the two and it often comes down to how "public" and "justified" the pricing model is and the "freedom" of the consumer to find alternatives. In your studies, you'll learn that airports are not a case of price fixing (the airlines offer a much better example when it comes to fuel surcharges) but rather in the market equilibrium that forms in a unique economic environment (richer people in airports than the surrounding area, security cost increases, consumer values shift, etc.). Consumers are given alternatives like free water fountains and shitty vending machines and low-cost dining like McDs are also available within the confines of the airport. You'll eventually learn this when you finish your intro courses, I guess. You can probably skip your upcoming Econ 201 class since I gave you the gist of it ;p.
Truthfully, you read too much Twitter brainrot where someone posts a bar receipt from an upscale restaurant that is certainly shitty, but not indicative of the real environment at airports. If you need cheap food, go to the McDs or buy the cafe snacks. But if you can't understand why they charge $4 dollars for a bag of chips when 90% of their customers are paying $100+ for tickets without resorting to conspiracies about price fixing, you clearly don't understand the basics of business and economics.
As always with the chuds, I mildly criticize Trump for stuff he did while already failed to do as president and these guys go absolutely ape shit. Congrats on knowing two people who died and ignoring the thousands of others who die due to presidential actions. What about the 13 soldiers that died under Biden during the Afghanistan pullout (that Trump organized with the Taliban)? What about Jamal Khashoggi who got murdered by MBS in Saudia Arabia that Trump did nothing about? What about the hundreds of people / kids who died in school shootings under Trump? Shut the fuck up about politics, since it's only the Trump nuthuggers who always bring up how he's going to save everything on a god-damn mongering forum as if we don't know who he is and what party he stands with. Better yet, stop crying about it, deflecting to something else (what does Laken Riley and illegal immigration have to do with price fixing, smart guy), when you get called out. As I said, I don't care about Dems or Reps, I just call BS when I see it.

Anytime something is marked up 800% above its fair market value, it is a scam, a rip off, a company taking advantage of its customers, whatever you want to call it. And when multiple vendors collude together to keep prices artificially high, that is price fixing.
You can sugarcoat it all you want and say it isn't a scam, it's just predatory but in reality a ripoff and a scam are the same thing.
I doubt you have an MBA, you claim you do but you haven't shown any proof to back it up. Also your liberal douchebag ideals would suggest the contrary. You probably have a degree in liberal arts or music LOL.
Also the 13 soldiers whom you mentioned were not civilian women and children, they were not innocent bystanders killed by an illegal immigrant who shouldn't have been in the country in the first place, but was allowed in by Biden. They were soldiers in the line of duty and they signed up to be fighting and unfortunately lost their lives. There is a big difference between joining the armed forces and getting killed and being a 12 year old girl and getting raped and and killed by an caught and released illegal immigrant. Shame on you for even comparing the two.
Also back to the point at hand you admit the airport is a rip off but you say it's not a scam? You say it is predatory but yet it perfectly fine. Well I say it's a scam, we will just have to agree to disagree but I'm sure you will respond back with some more bickering and name calling. I'll be the bigger man and say let's just agree to disagree.
Respectfully,
Gabacho.

As a frequent traveler for both work and leisure, I've become pretty good at navigating many of the frustrations people tend to have at airports.
I check in online and travel with carry-on bags only wherever possible to avoid lines at check-in. I always have my liquids already packaged in a clear bag so I can zip through security.
One thing that still surprises me, however, is the quality and cost of food available in airports. I navigate this particular frustration by doing my best to avoid airport food outlets entirely.

There's a scene from the iconic 1990's sitcom "Seinfeld" where Jerry Seinfeld discusses the cost of food in airports during a stand-up set which still makes me chuckle to this day for its accuracy.
Do you think that the people at the airport that run the stores have any idea what the prices are everyplace else in the world, or do you think they just feel they have their own little country out there and they can charge anything they want? "You hungry? Tuna sandwich is $9. Tuna is very rare here. ".
I think the whole airport / airline complex is a huge scam just to sell the tuna sandwiches. I think that profit is what's supporting the whole air travel industry. I mean, think about it. The terminals, the airplanes. It's all just a distraction so that you don't notice the beating that you're taking on the tuna.
Adjusted for inflation, that $9 in 1990 would now be $19. Every time I think of the outrageous prices of food and drinks in airport terminals, I always grin, remembering how ridiculous the prices were in the early 1990's and how they have remained so.

My own memories are of being asked to pay $10 for a bottle of water at Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ) in the Dominican Republic earlier this year (I gasped, handed it back and walked out). Also, I once paid $17.50 at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) for a terrible, pre-made chicken wrap that was so "un-fresh" the edges of the wrap had gone soggy and mushy.
Jerry Seinfeld and I aren't the only ones who have noticed. Early this year, a $27 beer led the agency that oversees the three major New York City-area airports to crack down on sky-high prices being charged for food and drinks.
An investigation by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which has oversight over John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), LaGuardia Airport (LGA) and Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), found multiple instances of beer and food being sold to travelers in these airports at "totally indefensible" prices.
https://thepointsguy.com/news/never-buy-food-in-an-airport/
So why aren't you emailing the author of this article to troll him and explain to him how he is wrong?
Why don't you call the port authority of New York and New Jersey and tell them to drop their investigation because it is legal??
How about your jealous douchebag ass just gets off my dick?
You're just jealous because I have more real life mongering experience than. You, having mongered in USA, Mexico, Colombia, Thailand, Philippines, and Indonesia. I have now mongered on 3 different continents and many different islands.

You still don't understand the basic assertion that ascribing conspiracy to natural greed does no favors to actually resolving the situation. If the problem is price-fixing, then you remedy that with criminal remediation (cops, investigation, etc.). If the answer is extreme pricing, you can often resolve it through legal controls (price ceilings, regulations) or consumer action (not buying at those locations, lobbying politicians to take legal action). It's simple stuff that requires you to think further than "hero / daddy will make the bad guys go away". Political ad-homs aside, since you literally ignored the point I made to pearl clutch like a soy cuck (extreme lefties and righties love to cry), this goes beyond left / right divides towards actual populist action.
BTW, when you want to agree to disagree, you don't precede that with more ad-homs and "getting the last word". You also don't make another post right after it LOL. You just say, "let's agree to disagree" and let your point go. So I appreciate you stepping back and accepting that you were wrong about what a scam is. Clearly, you finally started to understand you were talking out of your ass and had to back down. Next time, I recommend avoiding the weird shadow boxing with an imaginary democrat operative tangent that you went down.

This is a bad look and a real case of projection. I don't even know who you are; I just respond to posts I disagree with from time to time that I think are important to call out. I have numerous reports from all around the world, I've given advice when I can, and I debate when there is time. It seems like you got a little ass-mad when I disagreed with you and took it way to personally. I couldn't give a shit about how many places you've been, the 10's you've banged, or how cheap you get it, you said something stupid and I disagreed. And if you think your body count even matters when it comes to business concepts, you are clearly still a delusional frat boy. Still, as a word of friendly advice, you need to take it easy on the politics stuff. I barely needled you on the Trump stuff and you shat all over yourself. Also, reading comprehension is important. Unlike others, I read your link and all it said is that the state gov is looking into indefensible pricing which literally has nothing to do with price-fixing and relates to extreme pricing strategies. It's literally making my point.
Take a breath. Don't take forum conversation so personally. And most importantly, don't brag about body count numbers on a god-damn mongering forum. LOL.
I have been traveling internationally for business and pleasure for 35 years. As and investor I have always been curious about prices. I was taught this test by a very successful stock market investor. He told me to always look at the price of a Big Mac in the country you were visiting. Another thing he told me is to take a look at the price of a Big Mac in town and compare it to the price of a Big Mac in the airport.
Over 35 years of traveling the price of a Big Mac is always significantly higher in the airport than out in town. Same product. Higher price. So let's inject some common sense in to the price fixing discussion. The old analogy of a duck comes to mind.
Man Law 101: no man ought to be telling another man how to spend his hard earned money or how to live.

Just remember we are not dealing with a individual of solid character. He is over in the Thailand Rants threads attacking me. I have responded to him. I made a claim of where he was going to binThailand, but never filed a report about his activities there.
A lot of push back comes from individuals who a stuck in sex prison waiting from their next work release pass in order to become a International Trick again. My business back ground. Owning. Hiring others smarter than me in the areas I need expertise. Traveling. Being a International Trick. Knowing that you treat girls that are prostitutes differently than you treat girls with whom you have an emotional connection. If you are going to treat them all the same you are saying girls that hire as prostitutes are the same as girls that do not prostitute themselves. That is some pretty naive thinking. There is a reason that expressions like: you cannot make a ho in to a housewife or Dont a a Captain Save-a-Ho exist. Prostitutes call us customers or sponsors not boyfriends or husbands. Now, why I man claiming the level of experience that is is does not understand that, I have NO idea.
Why he writing about price fixing anyway? He talking business. We getting pussy in SEA. I got pussy waiting for me to get back to LATAM. Just remember we are men in the arena. It is not the critic who counts. Let him be a critic. You finish writing your reports and get some pussy. He finishes writing his report and beats his dick to porn.

Stop worrying about how other men live their lives; there are rich and poor men alike who choose to live state-side with a happy single / married life who like to take vacations for pleasure, while still enjoying their home countries "diverse offerings" rather than uproot their business, families, careers, and lives to live in the third world, lording over poor people and hunting poon.

You said to "agree to disagree" and then posted right afterward that with adhoms, name-calling, and argument. You really don't get what those words mean, do you? Disagreeing is not trolling, by the way. I would be a troll if I wasn't continuing to make reasoned points, but it seems you are still too triggered to move on. Don't worry, I'll show you how it's done, brother. You were wrong about price-fixing and some grand airline conspiracy, so you've pivoted to just saying you consider extreme pricing to be a scam, which is a simple motte and bailey. You clearly won't admit being wrong and that you did shift the conversation so I'll just say, "let's agree to disagree".
And since I understand what that means, I won't respond to your next attempt so you can get the last word, big boy.

It started with me agreeing with Turgid that food vendors at the airport are a scam and that they are colluding with one another within the same terminal to sell food and drink for much higher prices than market value ie price fixing.
I shower numerous scenarios and examples of this being the case, I even linked an article to an agency that investigated an airport in New York for price fixing. And I used a personal example of mine from Colombia where domestic terminals allow you to bring in outside food and drink but in comparison to the US airports which do not allow that which supports my claim that the US govt supports the price fixing.
The high prices inside airports is a scam and so is the collusion among the vendors to maintain thr high prices because otherwise we se more low end vendors inside the airports as you do see in some other countries.
I stand by what I said.
Gabacho.

Gabacho.In this post you took the fastball down the middle and launched it out of park. A straight drop the bat and watch walk off grand slam.
If you're flying into Medellin from another country, be prepared to spend about an hour and a half going through immigration. Could be more time, especially on holiday weekends. Could be less if you are lucky.
At the street at Lokasari I could buy a "bunch" (two branches with leaves included for free) for 50,000 and then 40,000. No weighing. But hands were full with other purchases. Found same tree branches with leaves and fruit outside the mall with the two walking overpasses near Classic. He wanted 40,000 so I bought. No weighing. Good stuff. Went back 3 days later. Fool now wants to weigh it. Wants 100,000. WTF! Walked away. The stupidity bar of people just keeps getting raised higher and higher.This is the perfect example of a scam that is not necessarily illegal.

And speaking of being a liar are you in an open relationship where your partner knows that you are non monogamous?Brother, I don't talk about my life on this forum. I would never give any information about being married or single; open relationship or closed. There is no point to this because, in all reality, it has nothing to do with the hobby. So you shouldn't assume those types of things. Suffice it to say this, I don't mind giving out the PII that I live in the US but that's my choice and the choice of many mongers. There are huge reasons people make this choice that don't have anything to do with nebulous ad-homs like cheating on your spouse or kids:
1) Career. Some people have jobs that require (in-person or remote) you to be in the US. A fulfilling career is the best indicator of a happy life, so why throw that away for temporary poon?
2) Money. If you make a ton of money, America and the West is great. No need to uproot everything when you are making bank back home.
3) Home. Your home country is your "culture" and "people". I've been to around the world but I still feel more comfortable in a place where they speak English, watch American football, etc.
4) Friends. Why start fresh in another country when you have a group of great friends with similar life experiences that you can share that with. It's not impossible to make new friends (and the hunt for that can be fun) but it's much harder to go to a new land where you are not around people with shared life experiences. Many people have friends they met in school, college, or work and going to a foreign country to hunt poon often puts you in a different subset of folks. For example, I have family in Medellin who are doing the digital nomad lifestyles. The locals they know are mostly Venezuelan illegal immigrants and poor working girls who are trying to latch on. Their expat buddies are almost all 50+ divorcees with broken family lives, an irrational hatred of women / intimacy, and somewhat pedophilic views of sex. That is a small anecdote but it might help highlight why many people are unwilling to make that plunge.
5) Poverty. The world has advanced but there is still massive poverty in the world that many would like to avoid. Medellin is just not a safe place compared to the Jersey, DC, and LA suburbs. Most like to avoid the constant reminder of poverty and human suffering that swept away (cruelly in some cases) in the States.
This is all just simple stuff that most people make an informed pro / con over and it's good to never assume one's background. It's the reason I have never assumed you are just a poon hound who preys on young, poor girls because you weren't good enough to get a girl in the States. That may be what some expats are doing but there is no reason to assume that of all expats or even the majority are.
Overall, the best idea in this business is not to give out PII as much as possible, even if you are safe. Imagine being a single guy in your twenties recording (consensual) videos / pictures with girls, sharing your personal instagram or whatsapp phone number (because, hey it doesn't matter since you are single) and then to have one of those girls pop back up ten or fifteen years later when you are a politician and / or have a family spreading a bunch of junk about you. Foreign governments, like Russia and China, are actively farming this information right now and pay Filipino sex workers who collect this information in blackmail rings.
Truthfully, in 10 years, deepfake videos will be good enough that nobody will be able to trust any of these things which is probably a plus for mongers (just look at how good some of the deepfake celebrity porn looks already), but it's always better to be safe than sorry.
Based on the posters I saw at the airport this past November, seems the customs union is in active contract negotiations and thus there is likely some work related slowdowns to drive home their case, as is typical when things like this are being negotiated.I tend to think it's more related to the exponential growth in the number of people coming through the airport in Medellin now, as compared to pre pandemic. But, anything is possible. I've only heard about this issue in Medellin. Do you know if the workers at the other airports in Colombia are also attempting a "work slowdown"?

However, union posters throughout the customs area indicate a call for support during ongoing negotiations. Historically, unions involved in public-facing roles may employ slowdowns to highlight staffing shortages and emphasize their essential contributions. Additionally, the recent 'mig' automation initiatives likely play a significant role in these discussions.

Additionally, the recent 'mig' automation initiatives likely play a significant role in these discussions.As if immigration wasn't already slow enough. Leaving Colombia, you should try to get to the airport early. Use the automated kiosks, if possible. Arriving, sounds like it will now be a longer process. I said an hour and a half before, but now who knows. Probably, Medellin, Bogota and Cartagena will be the most affected.
Sounds like there are flight delays now because of the union actions at the airports. Sounds like they are mostly protesting the salaries and want more staff.
Airlines such as Latam and Avianca warned about delays in the check-in process for international flights. They also advised passengers to check the status of flights on the airlines' websites, as well as recommending arriving at airports well in advance.
"On the morning of Wednesday, December 4, several passengers were affected. Some have reported that precisely because of delays at Migraciand Colombia they have missed international flights.
The reasons for the protest, according to a statement from the National Union of Migration Employees of Colombia and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Unasemig) and the Union Organization of Migration Employees of Colombia (Osemco), are the "precarious salary and work conditions, as well as the lack of diligence" on the part of the national government to improve the situation of these workers. ".

I decided to apply for the required CheckMIG for entry into Colombia. I found a website for the CheckMIG application, and started filling it out.
Eventually, I was asked to pay $20, which seemed odd to me. Then I realized I was on a commercial website.
So I searched for the government site, which is free.
Easy peasy.

I was told that the CheckMIG is no longer required.
However.
When you go through Immigration, they ask questions that appear on the CheckMIG, like the telephone number of your hotel. So, if you have filed a CheckMIG, just tell them it's on the CheckMIG, and they will stop asking.

So how is the Immigration line at Medellin airport now?Last night, hundreds of people landed at MDE pretty much at the same time, most foreigners. There was a direct flight from Madrid to MDE.
The staffing in Immigration for foreigners was one person. A dozen booths were empty. They had one person for Colombians, and another for priority tourists. And that was it.
The line took 3 hours, it was like the crowd scene from Gandhi.
Is there a labor shortage in Colombia now? It's not as if all those arriving planes were a surprise.
My guess is the head of Immigration is pocketing the salaries of ghost employees.

I have read with amusement the antics of you and the Medellin morons as you have now travelled the Pacific and are littering the board again with your trash talking and insistence that your fucking ugly women is equivalent to those seeking the best. You proudly boast that you are fucking 6's as the chemistry is better. So instead of getting up off your ass and trying to do better and find better looking women, you and the crew of Medellin morons have flamed anyone trying to do better.What does this have to do with investing or American Politics. You like expensive prostitutes like Miami Boy. I prefer prostitutes who I have chemistry with and that are low cost. That makes my opinions invalid in your mind or is it due to the superiority complex you have for reasons?
When I went you on this topic, you griped to Gabacho and that lying Mexican baby ran crying to an admin to give me points. Gabacho is so fucking stupid he even bragged who the admin is and like the baby he is, boasted about getting other guys posts. Since that time, I have put the two of you on ignore and things have been much better. Unlike the child Gabacho, you actually like to argue and you PMed me begging me to respond, and I told you to fuck off. I am not going to debate someone who cannot take a punchHow many years ago was this? Where am I posted up now? How many countries other than Colombia have you visited outside the United States of America since you put me on ignore?
Thing is I can tell from your posts you are a narcissist. So even when I have you on ignore, I predicted the insults and the narcissistic chest beating, and I signed out and read your post, and you did not disappoint.You are a mental health professional or you do that on the side when your are not cheating on wife with expensive prostitutes.
Trudging through the multiple insults and chest beating, your three objective posts were bonds are callable and redeemable and people will pay for the fastest chips and Nvidia cannot sell all the chips they make.You have become a moderator now. Judging the value of my post and deciding if they met your level of objectivity. Are the facts I presented for NVDA invalid?
I gave the person who asked the question the wrong advice. If he is not good at stock picking, he should buy a bond fund and not individual bonds. That is not what I am doing. That is the advice I gave to someone at his level.Finally we are going to talk about investments. That is great! We can have that discussion. You want to educate me about bonds?
When you see me bow!

TTM.
I am sure the dumped women say it is all the man's fault. It seems like it is genetic programming after having a kid for women to look at men like an ATM and sperm donor and if they do not knock that belief off, then their man is going to leave them. The difference in Colombia and the USA is the women do not often have a legal system to go cry to and claim victim status for $. If the men were such losers, why would other women take then in?
I actually respect the few women who say that after having children they overindulged their children and neglected their man.
As for why Colombian women are interested in foreign men, money IMO is #1. The much less common one, but it does happen, is because the Colombian women are so tried of the antics of Colombian men.This is your advice from years and years of experience?
And this is why you are on ignore.I am not on ignore. Only in your imagination only. You cannot quote my posts if you have me on ignore. You read every damn post I write. You also responded to many of them.
Does this idiot get the concept of supply and demand or is he another socialist that he thinks that he deserves better service because of his virtue signaling?Here was your first reply to me right here in this thread.
And what you will see from SC is the usual string of insults about his dick size, how everyone is racist, and this idiotic Trump conspiracy theory.Really? I am still waiting for you to back up this statement with some quotes that I have actually made in order to prove that you simply are not just making up stuff because you don't like your fellow Americans that look like me.
You better hope the Colombian government does not put a reciprocal tariff on the importation of foreign dick into the country. That will drive your International Trickin expenses up.

Yes they have been there for like 5 years. Always loud and yelling being obnoxious from their benches they sit at all day long. A buddy of mine says they are retired us military. I guess they just live off their little pension and stay in Medellin siting there being stupid all day. I think I heard one of them can only afford to have sex one week out of the month so the other 3 weeks he's just sitting there waiting on his next check. Basically just one step above being homeless..The obnoxious, loud gringos at the bench in Veracruz are disliked and derided by locals, girls and police. Before they came about five years ago, gringos were well-liked in general. But now locals tend to think that all foreigners are like them and homeless. My buddy who talked to them told me that they are retired / fired plumbers, janitors, restaurant workers, etc. Several locals are angry with the guy with sunglasses. Some of these guys have been arrested. I see other foreigners are avoiding them.

Nope, sorry, the US Constitution is for Americans not people who come to our country illegally and commit crimes, and when we were founded as a nation, we had slaves and only land owners could vote. Before an income tax and women could vote, the USA was the #1 economy in the world.This the same person that called me a socialist then never backed it up.

But they don't give me better service because of them. The panties are actually a reward (read gift or tip) for several sessions of good service prior to receiving them.

When I went to orientation the dean posed the question of why everyone was there. People tried to give answers they expected he wanted to hear. He finally said bullshit. MBA stands for More Bank Account. If you are here for anything else besides to make more money, then you are here for the wrong reason.

PhD, DBA, EdD, MFA = terminal degrees.I have undergraduate, graduate, and professional degrees (yes even "professional" is used to describe some types of degrees) all from American universities. You are correct to say that it is very common to see and / or hear "advanced degree" in the United States. That is the country of my birth, and I absolutely know what I'm talking about, and so do you.
