Oh, lovely. They've sent me a mo-ron.
Getting fucked now.

That's going to be foreboding for the future when crime is already rampant.Link to the local news article about this.
She wasn't in trouble for just shoplifting when the cops spotted her. She had outstanding warrants too (theft of a firearm and felon in posession of a firearm among them) when she fled.
As a kid, my country had hyperinflation, so they cost about 2000 times what they cost before the currency got renominated and we had a currency board instituted, then we got into the EU and they forced us to put in 20% VAT on everything, as well as a bunch of other taxes on gasoline and cigarettes.No, those alternate numbers just aren't correct. 9% inflation (an approximate eyeball'd average of the blue line during the period) from about 2000 to 2020 would mean prices would need to have multiplied by 5 (actually about 5.6 times, but the 9% is very approximate), and they just didn't. Just look at random stuff around your house (if you are in the US), and ask how much did they cost as a kid vs. how much do they cost 2 years ago?
Lumber went from about $300 to about $370 from Jan 2000 to Jan 2020.
Milk I can't go back all the way, but it's about flat to a slight increase, with a bunch of bouncing around.
Note also that this chart let's the Biden admin off the hook, as it makes it seem that it's always been crazy. It hasn't been though.

I remember when a box of cigars was 1/6 of what it costs today, for example.
Apartments between now and when I was a kid have gone in price like, over 10 times.
A bunch of parties caused it, not just one, and they mostly got away scott free, even if the relevant morons never took power again, over here we have a party merry-go-round, with new ones constantly poping up and old ones going poof.how did the hyperflaition go for the party that caused it?
You were saying?Russia is not exactly shitting money right now.
"we can't buy the things we normally need" is not the same as having a shitload of money to spare.You were saying?
Russia is on track for a record trade surplus
Imports have collapsed, but exports are holding upwww.economist.com
So, next place for Russia to buy weapons from, North Korea?On May 9th China reported that its goods exports to Russia fell by over a quarter in April, compared with a year earlier, while its imports from Russia rose by more than 56%.
Why would they need to buy weapons from them when they can make them themselves? Remember they are the 2nd largest arms exporter in the world."we can't buy the things we normally need" is not the same as having a shitload of money to spare.
Funny enough, your own source says China is part of the issue too.

Because some people will repost the dumbest anti-Russia things the MSM shits out.Why would they need to buy weapons from them when they can make them themselves? Remember they are the 2nd largest arms exporter in the world.
And it isn't simply imports being curtailed, it is the increase in value of exports of energy:
Putin May Collect $321 Billion Windfall If Oil and Gas Keep Flowing
Russia’s economy has staggered through the first full month of the war with Ukraine but it may yet emerge with a sparkling balance sheet if some of its biggest trade partners don’t turn off the tap on its exports of energy.www.bloomberg.com
And how many of those arms need imported components?Why would they need to buy weapons from them when they can make them themselves? Remember they are the 2nd largest arms exporter in the world.
And this has little to do with the war.And it isn't simply imports being curtailed, it is the increase in value of exports of energy:

Didn't we already have two quarters of negative growth? That's already officially a recession.Which is a fun combination with a Recession...which we're about to enter officially next quarter.
The dominoes are falling, I am sure a bunch of other net exporters will do the same very soon.This will lead to more hoarding and the bidding up of futures contracts, too.MSN

Wheat for Roubles from Russia, who had a bumper crop.Looks at Indias population....yeah this might be the only thing they could do.

Meanwhile, there are droughts and fertilizer shortages in Murika.
I'm waiting for that day food is shipped out as foreign aid while citizens of the generous giver who needed that starve.Once again worlds largest food producer.
The only way we starve is gross incompetence, the kind that results in the utter destruction of the idiots who caused it.
