    Laughable attempt. Sorry can't be helped that most of the world currently has bought into the insanity that is modern monetary theory.

    Well let's not forget it was mostly left leaning dipshits that shut the entire world in a futile effort to stop a virus from doing what virus's do. Effecting a very obvious portion of the population which means the majority of us should have just plowed through it.

    But instead of protecting the vulnerable we shut everything down in a global herp derp moment and here we are!

    If that's your misrepresentation as to what I'm saying...lol.

    No. I just acknowledge the world for how it is now how I wish it would be.

    Putin being crazy wasn't something I invented. Nor rocket man. Nor Iran...

    They are how they are. I am just aware of it.

    Thanks for the easy W. Got anything else or?

    Due to the obtuse, confused nature of your posts it's difficult to discern if you are still blaming Biden for Putin's invasion. On second thought, I don't really care.

    Rising fuel costs are a massive problem for business and consumers — Here’s why they’re so high

    Why are fuel prices so high?
    The surge in gasoline prices is thanks, in large part, to the jump in oil prices. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is the latest catalyst to push crude higher, but prices were already on the move ahead of the war.

    Even before Covid, energy producers cut back on investment and less profitable projects under pressure from low prices and institutional shareholders demanding higher returns.

    Then producers slashed output further during the throes of the pandemic, when the need for petroleum products fell off a cliff. People weren’t going anywhere and businesses were shuttered, so far less fuel was needed. Demand dropped so suddenly that West Texas Intermediate crude, the U.S. oil benchmark, briefly traded in negative territory.

    Economies have since reopened, manufacturing has revived, and people are driving and flying again. This led to a surge in demand, and an increasingly tight oil market beginning last fall. In November, President Joe Biden tapped the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in a coordinated effort with other nations, including India and Japan, in an effort to calm prices. But the relief was short lived.

    Will The Following accept the facts? Of course not.

    This guy?



    "During his visit to a mask-making factory in Arizona, US President Donald Trump acknowledged that the country must reopen even if more people get affected or die of coronavirus."

    Instead of being a Biden and hiding behind a mask and preaching lock downs...Trump being more of an economist was already aware of the drastic global and domestic effects that staying shut down would have.

    Biden being weak allowed for a window for crazy people to do crazy things.

    This instability is what you get when you vote in a weak administration.

    So True. If he stubs his toe today it is all President Trump's fault. They do love their democrats don't they, while the country is in a free fall of inflation caused by bite me Biden. It is all Biden's fault, not Putin or man made covid's fault, that made high gas prices. He nuked energy dependence that President Trump had instigated. He reversed all the good that was accomplished. Now he is sending hundreds of troops back to Somalia that Trump had removed. The war machine is back under the neo-cons.

    DeSantis is correct. But I also understand why Trump did it as it was an election year and he wanted to not put off the moderates as they and everyone else were successfully hysterical over covid and wanted everything shut down so they could get their free government cheese while sitting on their asses doing nothing. So he shut it down but with an understanding that we were going to reopen, likely as soon as the election was done with.

    If you are going to test my resolve, I would much prefer DeSantis over Trump...BUT Trump was the correct choice of the half dead man currently in charge.

    The point of my post was to prove you wrong about who shut the economy down. With his comment, Ron was really just trying to put some distance between Capt. COVID and himself, to appeal to the zealots who feel no number of deaths was too great a price to pay to keep the economy humming.

    Euro zone inflation hits yet another record high as food and energy prices soar

    Prices in the euro zone continued their march higher in May, hitting a record high for the seventh month in a row.

    Inflation came in at 8.1% for the month, according to preliminary figures from Europe’s statistics office Tuesday, up from April’s record high of 7.4% and higher than expectations of 7.8%.

    It comes after inflation prints from several major European economies surprised to the upside in recent days. German inflation (harmonized to be comparable with other EU nations) came in at an annual 8.7% in May, preliminary figures showed on Monday — significantly outstripping analyst expectations of 8% and marking a sharp incline from the 7.8% seen in April.

    French inflation also surpassed expectations in May to a notch record 5.8%, up from 5.4% in April, while harmonized Spanish consumer prices jumped by an annual 8.5% in May, exceeding expectations of 8.1%.

    https://www.cnbc.com/2022/05/31/eur...cord-high-as-food-and-energy-prices-soar.html

    I wonder if European leaders are accused of being responsible for inflation like Biden is here?

    No doubt this is Biden's fault too.

    Oil prices jumped after EU leaders reached an agreement late Monday to ban 90% of Russian crude by the end of the year.

    During Asia hours on Tuesday, U.S. crude futures for July were up 3.53% to $119.12, while Brent crude futures rose 1.87% to $123.95. At one point, U.S. crude rose to $119.42 per barrel — a 12-week high, according to Refinitiv data.

    Contracts for August also traded higher: WTI crude jumped 3.66% to $116.34, and Brent was up nearly 2% to $119.96 per barrel.

    IIRC that signed agreement between Trump and the Taliban was not voted on by Congress. As such Biden very well could have scrapped it. Just like Trump withdrew from the Climate Accords because it was not voted on by Congress. Additionally Trump made sure to let them know that the withdrawal would not happen or be delayed further if the Taliban did not or was not upholding its part of the bargain. Which they had not been.

    LINK: US signs historic deal with Taliban, Trump announces, beginning end of US war in Afghanistan and withdrawal of American troops - ABC News (go.com)

    So yes, Biden holds full responsibility.

    The Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction disagrees. Take it up with him.

    Why would I care what he thinks? Oh right...I don't. Just another politician being political.

    But I do notice that YOU ignored the facts I presented. Guess you can't think for yourself and must listen to this person you've never even heard of until you found that article?

    What you can control depends on your ability as much as the events. If you claim the ability and take the job but lack the ability to do it, you ARE accountable for the lies, the incompetence and the resulting failures.

    Biden has caused inflation in Turkey too. Gosh, he sure does get around.

    Turkey’s inflation soars to 73%, a 23-year high, as food and energy costs skyrocket

    Turkey’s inflation for the month of May rose by an eye-watering 73.5% year on year, its highest in 23 years, as the country grapples with soaring food and energy costs and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s long-running unorthodox strategy on monetary policy.

    Food prices in the country of 84 million rose 91.6% year on year, the country’s statistics agency reported, bringing into sharp view the pain that regular consumers face as supply chain problems, rising energy costs and Russia’s war in Ukraine feed into global inflation.
