You brought up the concept of overall inflation rate as a cope, whereas I'm talking about food and energy costs.

Overall inflation rate incorporates the inflation of all prices unless otherwise noted, come on you have to propaganda better than this. Your Habbenings hugbox has dulled your already inferior Slavic skills.

So you don't think the ingredients of the basket of goods used to calculate the CPI to produce the overall inflation rate are tweaked by the government to produce favorable results that don't reflect reality? Come on now, that's just naive.

Yeah except no. I'm sorry but it's simply delusional to act like the situations are analogous. Get back to me when staples are rationed and food exports are banned, like sugar exports are banned by the Russian government until the end of August.

That has already happened here. The store i go to limits items per customer and one week sugar was just out of stock. Groceries have gone from $85 to over $130 for the same exact stuff. Hell, milk has gone from $2.50 to $5 a gallon for store brand. Eggs have gone from $1.25 a dozen to $3. This is the first time in my life that shelves are just empty and have been so for weeks. Even the depression wasn't this bad according to family members. Shelves were always stocked, they just had no money to buy it.

I'd wager we are in a worse state as Russia seems to be trying to help their people whereas the US at best claims nothing is happening and at worst is actively making a bigger problem.

Eggs where 99 cents to 78 cents a dozen here two years ago then It jumped up to a buck-fifty and now they're sitting at 3.50 a dozen you know signs of a healthy goddamn economy. Every month my order at Sam's Club goes up because every item on the list has risen by at least $0.50. However items continue to increase in price monthly

>But Russias got it worse

Great, so both groups are gonna be incredibly fucked. I don't think the Germans are going to be happy about their exploding cost of living just because the Russians are having an even worse time of it.

Also Russia's "Great Depression" was thirty years ago, when was the last time the bottom fell out of a Western economy like that? Sucks for Russia, but they're probably better at handling it. We have multiple generations in the west that haven't been fucked like this before.

Also for more Biden hilarity, his visit means all the manufacturing on our road will lose the afternoon for getting stuff shipped out. But hey, there's a high school and an elementary school around the corner, so the big guy can top up on his way out.

"Solidarity issue"? Did you man solitary?

And the political influence fanning the flames only really works if things are stagnated. Rabble rousing requires a standing grievance from which there can be no compromise. By removing Roe, it opens up the door to a compromise amongst the majority of the populace. While there always has been and always will be hardline forces one ether side, they lose their teeth once Roe is gone. Leaving the roughly half of America who has a much less hardline stance to hash out the compromise.

So unless you think, against all evidence, that its literally half of Americas are on either hardline stance, then that flamer fanning is going to lose a lot of power with the death of Roe.

I don't think you realize how divided people are on this issue again this is right up there with the states right abolitionist causes that help the Civil War explode. Both sides of the aisle have made this their rallying cry both sides of the aisle have branded themselves around this issue for decades. Liberal Western women are not going to suddenly be okay with this and like wise

I don’t think you realize how much of a non-issue this is to most people, especially considering that abortion hasn’t actually gotten banned or anything.

Isn't the exchange rate affected by Russian controls over the exchange? Sort of like how in Venezuela there's the official exchange rate for dollars, which is chosen by the government, and the black market rate, which is a combination of actual market factors and the premium for secrecy/illegality.

No, the US is not going to break out into civil war because abortion rights went back to the states however....
It's one of the most emotional culture issues for those that do care. The evangelicals see it a sanctioned murder while the left sees it as healthcare- human rights- bodily autonomy, plus this is a hot issue for anyone that has been raped, had to abort due to health issues etc. On top of all that its children babies. Maybe not a lot of people care, but those that do, care a lot. I have never seen a Social Security admin office get bombed because of a policy issue or get bomb threats on the regular because of the work they did.

everything corrupt in this world apparently comes through Ukraine at some point or another, it makes Bangladesh or Tajikstan look like the Netherlands.

Corruption is huge in Russia and most ex-USSR states. Ukrainian tax officials even built a secret soundproof room in their building to distribute state funds in 2013-14. You can't tell me Hunter and Biden did not know of this. Its futile to defend their dealings.

The Left and the Right are reaching levels of Fucking autism never before seen is what I'm saying. Mass homeless and poverty are looming in front of us. As well as many societal issues. The video was show the fatoms of regret one man had after seeing what happens when you decide your side is moral absolute and justified regardless of the impact it will have of the future of Mankind.

All of that stuff goes hand in hand with each other. They are all features and this isn't the first time either.

As far as abortion goes, I don't see a civil war over abortion of all things.

Though a bigger thread to mankind, is Biden and his cabal backed by shitlibs and woke progtards wanting to escalate with Russia.

Well they will probably get their wish in destroying Russia but in return, Putler does mankind a bigger favor by wiping all of those soulless fucks out as well.
