Let’s be clear: you’re not paying more for necessities to punish Putin and save Ukraine, you’re paying more for necessities to fund an economic war of unprecedented scale geared toward collapsing Russia to help secure US unipolar domination of this planet.

You aren't paying more because of the war either.

Price rises were already in motion well before it kicked off.

The government printed too much money to bail their friends out and devalued the currency. Now they are looking for whatever they can to pin the blame on. It was the truckers' fault a couple of weeks ago.

The price of energy is the price of everything. Biden and the Democrats own the price increases. We were self-sufficient in oil until they took over. They own the currency printing, too.
