I’m outraged !!!!! Shit is so expensive!!!

*selects one of the 3 cars in the driveway to drive to the shops and have an $80 cafe breakfast with friends while talking about their ski trip to Aspen*


Inflation ends when you have 1 car, eat at home and don’t have any holiday stories. We have YEARS ahead for this shit to play out.


Good post!

The only thing stopping a Chinese takeover of Aus, which solves all of China's problems, is that Australia is a client state of the US.

I think the US is going to find itself overextended and cut you lose in the next 10 years unless they have a practical reason not to. If Aus doesn't nuke up and play the international game for real it's toast. The time for hiding in America's pocket is drawing to a close.

Maybe 10 years is optimistic. It could be this year. Once Taiwan happens there's no knowing how quickly the pacific dominoes will fall. The Chinese didn't set up in the Solomons for kicks.

China isn’t invading us or taking us over down here.

The answer is this —> sanctions

China imports the vast majority of energy and food. If they do anything at all they will be sanctioned to death instantly. No energy. No food. They aren’t going to be able to move. China is still locking down over Covid FFS, hardly a country about to invade another country.

US, UK, OZ, Japan, we are all booming with economic restructuring to bring most things back home while also creating new trade alliances/agreements between each other.

 The Russia war gave reason for everybody to rebuild energy. Sanctions on China will give reason for everybody to rebuild production.

You’re right on China and oil. China is taking over Africa in the hopes of oil exploration and production.

China would be better off eventually invading Siberia. It's on their doorstep. Farming and energy demands are satisfied. West won't really care and Russia will have a severely depleted militarily because of Ukraine.

Only nukes keep Russia safe, but do Russian nukes even work any more? Anyway if Russia goes completely broke because of Ukraine maybe they just end up selling Siberia to China.

Paying more is wonderful.

I can't wait to pay $10/dozen for eggs.

It may be sooner rather than later, depending on what eggs you buy. I bought a dozen organic cage free eggs yesterday at Safeway for just under $5.00 some brands were priced nearer to $8.00.

On another note, I bought gas at Fred Meyer today for $3.47 a gallon which is down from a couple of weeks ago. Chevron is currently charging $3.99 a gallon. The tank was a little less than 1/4 full so I spent $31.00 total.

Natural gas and electric bills are high this winter. Part of the reason for this is that we aren't good at conserving their usage.

Remember safety fat, helps the body stay a little warmer.

Glad you're eating good organic eggs and not going for the cheaper ones. Organic eggs just taste much better, although I don't really care for the taste of organic chicken much.

How much driving do you do Prime? Do you do the errands alone or take a buddy?

Embargoes either don't work or precipitate war. Empire of Japan 1941.

China has a clear pattern of establishing readiness with regard to Aus, and nobody knows how busy the only deterrent is going to get with its expensive proxy war with Russia. I don't share your optimism.

Part of the reason for this is that we aren't good at conserving their usage pant-shitter killed us as the world energy leaders with the swipe of his shit-filled pen.  Then proceeded to hand his pen over to a non-existent person. (Like when he shakes hands).

Fixed ^^

North Korea thriving? Iran thriving? Lebanon thriving?

The brain goes to extremes just like how we had the pandemic and 99% were certain the US was going to collapse and instead we had the largest boom of our lifetime lol.

people think Gina can send warships and stable supply lines from Gina down to the bottom of the planet whilst being bombed and shot at……no.

I have no clue but I was talking to a supermarket clerk about the price of eggs as he was re-stocking the dairy section, and he told me that a gallon of milk in Florida is up to 9 BUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111

Fuck that!

A gallon of milk in Florida is not 9 dollars; but I guess also depends where you go in FL.

$4.59.

at this stage of the game - your options r slaughter or further enslavement

the subjugation and fundamental transformation of a divinely created man into an irredeemable, short lived abomination... before extermination - resulting in damnation.
