The quantitative easing that the goverment carried out back in 2020 when they
decided that almost 100% of the population would become "public workers" has
finally trickled down through all the asset classes to its final resting place
in consumer goods. This is why I laughed when the FED were calling the
inflation transitory as there was never anything transitory about it. They were
lying to us all along because the alternative would have been an earlier
recession which the Trump administaration would have tried to avoid at all
costs. This Ukraine war is a convenient scapegoat for our economic woes.

Europe scantioned itself by refusing to purchase oil and gas with Rubles. The
public will remember that this winter when energy becomes unaffordable and
people have to choose between heating or eating. Heck, there's even discourse
regarding rolling blackouts during peak hours.

China are sitting pretty right now and have already made it known that they are
sympathetic towards the Russians... The West is not in a good position seeing
as almost all manufacturing and production comes from The East.
