It is caused by this

And supply shock, and wage growth, and tons of other things. You literally said “inflation is an increase in the money supply”

Inflation is not growth in the money supply, money supply is one way that inflation can occur, but the basis of inflation is the increase in nominal costs of everyday prices.

Honestly I don’t see why buying data on the open market is illegal. I think it shouldn’t be legal to sell it but it is. I’d prefer nobody have access than the NSA pretend they don’t see what anyone else can buy.

He’s getting a lot of votes for someone we didn’t want.

Bernie couldn’t even win the Democratic primary, how was he gonna win the general?

They’re still claiming they didn’t steal 2000 from Gore

Because it’s not a conspiracy theory - there was an impeachment trial about this.

It’s a great reason until there’s an alternative. As long as voters look to gas prices for their votes, taking action that raises them is politically toxic.

Meanwhile leftists are literally criticizing the Biden administration for high gas prices’ impact on the working class.

You want to change it? Let’s change it. Starting with activists.

Unfortunately we proved just before the midterms that there’s a very linear inverse correlation between gas prices and perceived job performance. Refilling the strategic petroleum reserve is electorally smart. Until activists can detach these electoral relaities nothing will change for anyone.

Exactly. The fact that it’s not a no-brainer should be front page news and they should be rooting out every Republican who won’t expel the corrupt son of a bitch and pressing them to explain why

SCHISM! SCHISM! SCHISM!

Much better caption than what came to mind for me

The inclusion of “Russian” strike anyone else as like ethnically insensitive

OP says that NC was “universally suggested” (by whom???)

That’s the most baffling part of this. Bro cut off all contact with someone they spent 15 years with and is surprised when it hurts.

Billionaire consumption irrespective of how outsized, isn’t significant in the context of our entire societal consumption. Every private plane flight in a year emits 5MtCO₂, while all flights emit 800MtCO₂. Even Roman Abramovich’s ridiculously wasteful superyacht is about 20ktCO₂/yr. All private cars contribute 3BtCO₂/yr. Billionaire consumption is a drop in the bucket, which is why any article blaming billionaires to try to convince you this isn’t a kitchen table issue and infrastructure issue for the rest of us has to qualify with investments, since the average billionaire basically owns fossil fuel companies.

That’s useful information to be sure, because it does emphasize that billionaires profit from emissions, but the end consumers of the vast majority of those emissions, the reasons why those fossil fuels were burned in the first place, are the rest of us, day by day, partially by choice but mostly by consequence of building our basic infrastructure to rely on fossil fuels and refusing to make the investment to decarbonize it.

Thanks for sharing. Good on you for getting clean and I wish you strength in staying that way.
