@sonhouse said" How would you deal with inflation? "
@Metal-Brain
That's it, that's your major policy if you were POTUS? How would you deal with inflation? Covid, Ukraine, clean energy, electric cars, toxins dumped into rivers, health care, NATO, China, Russia, Iran, Afghanistan, Immigrants, and any number of other issues a POTUS has to deal with.
Not create it in the first place and pretending to fight it afterwards by increasing the cost of borrowing. Notice that it increases the cost of living both ways.

So Much For Sanctions: Russia Is Producing More Oil Than Prior To Its Invasion Of Ukraine
https://quoththeraven.substack.com/p/so-much-for-sanctions-russia-is-producing
@metal-brain saidSanctions aren’t just about oil and gas they are also about imports and exports of all kinds and long after the oil and gas markets settle the sanctions will still be pounding the Russian economy just like the Russians are pounding human beings unlucky enough to be living next door to them when Putin lost his mojo.

@athousandyoung saidThen why are their oil profits higher as well?

Even if true it is having the desirable effect. The Ruble is at a 7 year high.
Russia is not suffering as much as we are. Clown world.
@metal-brain saidThey’re undercutting the Muslim oil producers coming out of the “Persian” Gulf (I prefer the name Gulf of Eden) selling in huge quantities at fire sale prices to the Asian giants China and India. It’s a short term solution with long term consequences.

@Mott-The-Hoople
You didn't notice for instance, the infrastructure bill just signed into law already has workers fixing bridges and pavement on our highways, at the very least? You would have to be living under a rock to have not seen at least that much going on.
For instance, I visited my son and his wife where they threw a party and he lives about 75 miles away and I saw at least a half dozen road projects on the way.
@athousandyoung saidWhat is your point?

But your TV works fine, so everything is fine and dandy. Just keep telling yourself that.

@metal-brain saidThe uk doesn’t have any oil, the oil belongs to private companies under licence and the global price is set by the markets. It wouldn’t matter if we refused to let a single drop leave British waters the price in the uk would be exactly the same as it is now.

You do realise that the US is a bigger exporter of oil than the UK by a gargantuan amount so why are you guys complaining about the price of gas? Surely if you’ve got a surplus for export it should be dirt cheap at home 🙄 where you born this retarded or is it lifestyle choice?
