I think the problem with the aid is the way we have slowly ratcheted up more advanced systems. Russia OTOH seems to have a severe manpower problem. Of course having had this discussion the Uk will probably launch a massive assault and retake crimea. Proving us both wrong again.
@johnserwach @plutus @rubecube12 And we agree about the aid. I said "insufficient, and late".
UA needs to kill about 8 Russians for every UA soldier lost. Three isn't going to make it, and it's likely they are not getting even that. We don't know, because sensibly, UA won't say.
@plutus @rubecube12 @ForeignSubstance I’m not sure Russia has that kind of depth- in theory they could but it might cause a revolution or worse- they would still fail.
Their “fresh” recruits should be trained and ready to go, in fact they should have trained a lot of recruits but—- we’re not seeing that and they can’t even get them uniforms and food/rations. Wagner is even running out.
@ForeignSubstance @plutus @johnserwach
You get an economic depression big enough and revolution is the result. Just give it a few years. Tsarist Russia found out. They had tight grip on the media
@rubecube12 @plutus @johnserwach As long as they are selling oil ... "big enough" is likely to not be big enough.
I know what you are saying. But the US always thinks its opponents are domestically weak.
The Nazis persevered through day & night bombing. Japan had to be nuked—twice.
People rally 'round the flag. It has to be *really* *really* *really* bad, and even then it's probably not gonna be bad enough.
US hubris about this seems to never subside.

@johnserwach @ForeignSubstance @rubecube12
John - I'm beside myself laughing when I look at this chart. Danny says boomers are excessive - how entitled do you have to be to pay $7 to $20 for McDonald's delivery LMFAO. This shit wouldn't have survived in prior decades.
@rubecube12 @plutus @ForeignSubstance
When I was young (in the 80’s) a Big Mac meal was $2.99- I would make a steak dinner at home before I would pay that for McDonald’s!!! I legit cannot figure out how these places are staying in business
@johnserwach @rubecube12 @ForeignSubstance
"Old fooks are forcing me to spend $20 on MCD delivery" - when Danny adopts MAGA logic... I am afraid for our society Johnny
@johnserwach @rubecube12 @ForeignSubstance
How about packing a ham sandwich in a brown paper bag with a bag of chips and milk Danny - that's what ppl use to do in the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s
@johnserwach @ForeignSubstance @plutus
Ham is out of control. Inflstion is out of control. 10 dollars for a carton of eggs. People dont have time to pack a ham sandwich. Youre entitled to only be working one job
@plutus @rubecube12 @ForeignSubstance
not only did we eat a ham sandwich out of a paper bag, wrapped in wax paper- we were damn luck to have it!!
@rubecube12 @plutus @ForeignSubstance

Maybe try kroger instead of whole fooods and vons ?
@ForeignSubstance @johnserwach @plutus
3.50 for 5 slices of ham at Ralphs/Kroger
@rubecube12 @ForeignSubstance @johnserwach
Maybe you should shop at Aldi or Foodsco or Trader Joes
@ForeignSubstance @plutus @johnserwach
They don't have those here. Inflation is outta control
@rubecube12 @ForeignSubstance @johnserwach

@johnserwach @rubecube12 @ForeignSubstance
They wanna do Stormy instead of Russia where you know they have the evidence - tell me that wasn't the decision by AG; this is how you protect the country by not showing the real treachery? Or are we afraid of real backlash
- sorry but this shit is weak!!!
@plutus @johnserwach @ForeignSubstance
Newsome doesnt control the money supply. Inflation at its core is a monetary phenomenon
@rubecube12 @johnserwach @ForeignSubstance
I can't teach you economics in one day or even many yrs since u've been on discord. Supply chain issue exclusively a la the 70s - even as Volcker took undeserved credit
@plutus @johnserwach @ForeignSubstance
Supply chain issues are over. China is back online. Baltic Dry index is back at lows. 5 dollars for 8 ounces at trader joes
@rubecube12 @johnserwach @ForeignSubstance
12 years of ZIRP and 3 rounds of massive QE from 09 to 2020 - yet inflation was sub 2% - Fed can't create inflation nor could they solve it in 2022 - understand how things work
@plutus @johnserwach @ForeignSubstance
We had no spending and were at the zero lower bound. We've shifted the IS curve out. We can now get to the equilibrium interest rate. The equilibrium interest rate is now a positive number. The fed is effective once more
@rubecube12 @johnserwach @ForeignSubstance
why do we have inflation heat up every time we institute large fiscal policies 40/50s 70s 2022? why
@rubecube12 @johnserwach @ForeignSubstance
Where was the complaint in prior periods - the majority of the complaint was higher rates not higher prices
@plutus @ForeignSubstance @johnserwach
Because you increase aggregate demand. That in tern shifts out the IS curve and the equilibrium rate of interest goes higher. We have a price ceiling below equilibrium. Which means inflation goes higher
@rubecube12 @johnserwach @ForeignSubstance
Inflation is the rate of change in prices - qtr/qtr Month/month - 99% of goods prices down and huge slug of services prices
@johnserwach @plutus @ForeignSubstance
