Good. He's serious about getting rid of the Russian lackeys. Good for him.

Greedflation is just another way to state some very old economic concepts - inelastic demand and market power.

In other words if there is a supplier with little or no competition (monopsony) and a product that people will buy almost regardless of the price in the short term (inelastic demand) then yes the supplier can jack the price up while not losing sales...until people substitute alternatives.

This demand curve can be found in any high school economics text book from the middle of the 20th C it's nothing new.

And if monopsonists bleed the customers too hard they will find substitutes, even if the product is as basic to life as water or food. People will move countries if they're starving for example.

Smartarse quips aside you surely do understand basic economics right ?

Wellll...that's not quite how demand curves work, yes fuel use is inelastic in the short term but there will be substitution if it looks likely to stay high. Which is happening noticeably here in the UK. The numbers show an uptick in EV purchasing and a reduction in consumption of fossil fuels.

Most unlike them. I am shocked. Ok maybe not that shocked.

Yes. Second paragraph.

"The stands at the Eurosatory arms and security trade show were "closed due to non-compliance with participation conditions set by the French authorities," the organiser, Coges Events, said in a statement to AFP.”

Fifth paragraph

"France has banned the display of Israeli offensive weapons at the 2026 edition of the exhibition and restricted the display of Israeli companies "to equipment and products exclusively related to air defence and ballistic missile defence capabilities", he said."

Gabbard's docs reference a town that doesnt exist and mislocates Kyiv on a map.

Given this is a long standing Russian propaganda point and she's a Russian agent the credibility here is pretty low

Iran would be crazy to NOT build a nuke.

The orange pestilence and Putain have proved you need force of arms in this new world. Nukes are the only reasonable means of surety.

And while Wimnie the Pooh is only in the intentional provocation phase, I'm sure he'll finish following the Russian method of coercion then invasion.

Ok you win - sausages and cars is weirdest combo so far

I had an air conditioner by Mitsubishi and a car at the same time (a decade ago) missed out on the vcr though lol

True. I hadnt. Pretty good portfolio based on their wikipedia entry
