This was probably the biggest wealth transfer in our history, the shrinking middle and working class, was squeezed yet again, for the last penny they had managed to save, including their property.

This event is behind my radicalization and behind 20 of my friends radicalization - I have boycotted huge number of brands, this BDS point 2, to include everything the yiddish class represent.

There are more escalations coming, we are fuckin fed up with this horrible system.

convid scamdemic was a huge mistake

Does anyone dare bring up the reduction in domestic oil production , part of the sweeping executive orders by the Biden administration? Tell me one area that petroleum price don’t effect? Consumer, distributor, shipping, manufacturing, logistics, the increase in gas/petroleum cost gets passed on and marked up, this very well is a large contributor to the post Covid inflationary environment we all felt. Pre COVID, the US was a net exporter of petroleum, research that fact before commenting.
Energy prices were settled in USD, they are not anymore.

This clown show you are trying to describe means nothing, its entertainment for other clowns - are you one of the clowns?
