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.

That's going to be foreboding for the future when crime is already rampant.

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.
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.
how did the hyperflaition go for the party that caused it?

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.
At one point the BGN was 3000 to the dollar.

You were saying?
Russia is on track for a record trade surplus
Imports have collapsed, but exports are holding up
"we can't buy the things we normally need" is not the same as having a shitload of money to spare.You were saying?

Funny enough, your own source says China is part of the issue too.
So, next place for Russia to buy weapons from, North Korea?

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.

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.

Anyway, here are more truth bombs about the baby formula mess:
My 2 cents, this situation will not be alleviated soon because of hoarding, even if the supply chain woes alleviate.
And how many of those arms need imported components?
Unless they want to go back to making AKMs and T-55A's they need those.
Otherwise their whole huge arms business ends up like this.
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:

Russia's oil and gas revenue windfall
Russia's sales of oil and natural gas far exceeded initial forecasts for 2021 as a result of skyrocketing prices, accounting for 36% of the country's total budget.

Didn't we already have two quarters of negative growth? That's already officially a recession.
Unless they were talking about projected numbers when I read about this

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.
Don't know about yaall, but I sure am glad I bought synthetic horseshit stocks.

Wheat for Roubles from Russia, who had a bumper crop.
Meanwhile, there are droughts and fertilizer shortages in Murika.

The only way we starve is gross incompetence, the kind that results in the utter destruction of the idiots who caused it.

I'm waiting for that day food is shipped out as foreign aid while citizens of the generous giver who needed that starve.
