Why is everything so expensive now?

>> No.18102676

because money is worth less
they watered down the money with the covid stimulus cheques and stuff

Combination of covid messing with the economy and the war in Ukraine messing with the economy again

It's part of a deep strategy to counter China's long habit of suppressing the value of the yuan.

Because the world is a barn and we are the sheep being shepard to a economic collapse, we sheep are being scammed out of our money with increasing rates and taxes, so that the rich will have enough to pocket and shelter or leave to their private islands, until the end comes.

>war in Ukraine
there is no war in ukraine, it's over
the was more economic impact created from the war in afghanistan, syria and iraq(not combined)

it wasn't even a war in ukraine, it was a scuffle, the economy is fucked up because the federal government printed more money, way more money than you can understand, the dollar isn't real, it's a broken thing propped up by military power and control

ukraine is just the flavor of the month scapegoat, there is only ONE thing that creates inflation, increasing the money supply, printing more dollars

Yes it does. Increased demand for gas in Europe has inflated the price of gas supply in the domestic market as it has to compete with the price on the export market.

What I hate the most about ordering a burger or sandwich at a non-fast food restaurant is that they'll pile shitass fries on it. And if you don't want them, they will withhold them but still keep the price the same.

The burger is just a loss leader for the fries and drink. They usually just about break even on the burger but sell the drinks and fries at a 1000% markup

the US has lost more oil production from the dem's sabotage than Russia has lost from sanctions
before the november coup, the US was a strong exporter and could have easily taken over all of Russia's customers to make the sanctions comprehensive
instead, it was crippled to the point that the US is an importer again and the common people are paying the price for that
Not the oligarchs though, they're fine as always

think about this, if the western powers instead decided to support russia in stopping the genocidal ukrainians, there would be no boycotts, the energy and resources from russia would still flow, the food would still export from ukraine, there would be no ukrainian sea mines in the black sea to block commerce

instead your leaders hoping to gain some small win by trying to hurt russia have brought the west into the worst position in modern history

the impacts you feel aren't because of war, it's because your leaders made the wrong decisions, leaders that you voted for, leaders that your support

at the end, it is all your own fault

That would be a strategic blunder. Ukraine isn't the only part of the former Russian empire that Putin aspires to expand into. He wants all of Holy Rus, and probably a little more if he finishes that goal easily enough.

the gameplan is to kill america by any means necessary.
as long as americans have guns, the "power structure" can't control us.

if you think voting doesn't work or your leaders aren't operating in your best interest or that the system ignores your collective will then why don't you simply kill them?

they are obviously willing to see you suffer while they make wealth that lasts for generations, but you can't afford what your parent or grandparents could

somehow you can have baby food shortages and simulteously your leaders can enact policy to rapidly import it from foreign warehouses? and they tout this as a win while they make out like janurary 6th was some great threat? if you haven't out the fear of death into your leaders by now then you are culpable in your own frustrations

So all that money flowing into Russia after the year 2000 was in return for nothing but tricking the general population into thinking Russia was selling gas? Germany cut off all its alternative power sources to trick the world? Damn. This goes deep.
