Never Forget ✊
He looks like a low budget supervillain in every picture. He’s one of the most incredible examples of a guy whose vibes and personality are so rancid that he even makes it a part of the way he presents himself visually.
their copium now is that its going up at a slower pace
not the prices itself but that rise of prices is going up slower ( 289.4% in May compared to 287.9% in April).
Nerds love second order derivative arguments.
“It’s still increasing but the rate at which it’s increasing is going down”
Or, as people who don’t have a lanyard cutting off oxygen to their brain correctly perceived it, shits still going up.
“We’re still heading off the cliff at insane speed, but the rate of acceleration has somewhat slowed”
Nixon made a similar argument once. It’s the 3rd derivative since inflation is the first derivative of a currency’s buying power.

Fuck the BBC so much. They did a story about protests against this dipshits economic “policy”. The presenter- not the analyst -The fucking presenter is like, “Why don’t these people at least give him a chance.” Idiot, if anyone knows about how austerity works, it’s fucking Argentina.
Not surprising but interesting to note- if a socialist even glances at the levers of power, there’s no “give them a chance,” it’s suddenly that everything bad that has ever happened, is happening, and will happen is their fault and they must be removed immediately, by force if necessary. But libertarians get this and are the don’t tread on me folks, god I hate them.

RIGHT-WING LIBERTARIANISM is one of the most powerful ideological influences of United States of America…
“One gratifying aspect of our rise to some prominence is that, for the first time in my memory, we, ‘our side,’ had captured a crucial word from the enemy . . . ‘Libertarians’ . . . had long been simply a polite word for left-wing anarchists, that is for anti-private property anarchists, either of the communist or syndicalist variety. But now we had taken it over…”
Murray Rothbard
Why is it a surprise that these liberals, who hate anything ‘authoritarian’, insist on ‘libertarians’ to get things right?
And how long has he been in office again?
I want to say around a year, but my sense of time is fucked up
I have balanced my household budget.
Were not paying for water or electricity and we’re not buying food anymore.
