38 I figured out how to make people follow the regulations. One violation, = warning. Two violations = head gets chopped of

Maybe something a little less severe but devastating

37. Being able to place sufficiently powerful sanctions without being tied up in unjustified legal challenges would probably do it

39. Its not too bad in the UK to be honest, because of the rules and regs about sourcing food, if it says its made of this, that and the other, it pretty much has to be so. So the free range eggs have to actually be free range, the UK beef has to be from the UK, all that. If they officially say it, they have to be able to back it up.
36 I should move to the UK! Idk how regulations work here, but they might be a middle ground :/

33. That is a phrase that's said. Although its intent - to caution that perspective colours your view on things, and that your own situation is probably no better or worse than someone else's - may or may not be appropriate to this situation. It probably is - what you may lose in food quality to a greater or lesser extent, you probably make up for in cost.

EDIT: ...huh. I say that, and actually its not true at all! I just assumed Big Macs were cheaper in the US than the UK by a considerable margin, but that's not true at all. In fact there's an entire financial index that relies on the two being comparable when exchange rates are taken into account. I did a bit of a scrap-of-paper calculation, and roughly:

A Big Mac is $3.99 in the US, and £2.99 in the UK. Assuming an exchange rate of £1 to $1.28 (which is what it is at the moment I believe), that £2.99 translates to $3.83 (rounded up) - so they are very similar, and if anything its slightly cheaper relatively in the UK! This doesn't take UK and US regional variations into account, but its still interesting.

32 It's all in the rules and regulations. Good old 'Murica may be lower quality and higher price, but it (extremely debatably) has better taste!

32. True, not without them going cold. But if you ate them within a few days of each other, you could probably have a stab at a balanced review.

33 It's not like you can jut eat a Bic Mac from Britain and an American Big Mac in the same sitting...
31 if you attack a fishing rod bobber thing (I've only fished in minecraft) to Britain, swim to America, you should have them close enough together that you can. Once your done, kick Britain and it should float back in place
