Supply Chain Shortages and Inflation

[Haumana]

Yeah that kinda shocked me too. I assumed that focus groups liked the bigass trucks or something. I bought a Ranger last year that’s bigger than the old F-150.

Central planners are the worst.

I am looking to buy an old 86 Chevy Blazer and a 1040s -50's pickup, as well as an old school "family car" to rebuild from the ground up.

The reason is simple, to get away from the EPA bullshit, and also to work on making a "modern" carn without all the extra bullshit attached to it. These new cars sure, have tons of new features, but have we improved our gas mileage or is really anything more than making it so that people can't afford functional cars and we are to "be happy" we can afford the shitty cars of today that fall apart even if you look at it?

I got myself a 2021 Hyundai and it's already showing rust...

Yeah, that was a great episode. A link to the court case they were talking about that could have impacts on the CAFE requirements.

Bitcoin and Gold hit record highs this week

[The Conservative]

I predicted this when it started happening. When India, China and Russia became their own thing and stopped trading in the US $$ both Russia and China would depend on their survival, because China is a paper tiger in more than one way, and Russia has been shown to have teeth, but they are rotting...

India is no longer willing to buy Russian Oil, now the only entity that is going to be buying it is China and those who don't give a shit about sanctions.

With a 30 to 40% reduction of their income at this point in time Russia is going to be getting hit with a lot of financial hardships soon, and China as I stated before won't be willing to keep another state/country up on their behalf.

This partnership is going to die quickly if this keeps up.

Indias been riding the fence between east and west since the British left. They’ll settle in gold if they really need the oil.
