It’s the same deal with politics—in fifty years, nobody is going to give a damn about whether the Republicans or the Democrats were in power because it won't matter anymore.
As far as I see, there are only three types of people: the wealthy and powerful, the middle class, and the clueless poor like me. Everything else is just noise.☕
If you don't have the mental capacity to actually go toe-to-toe with him, then just don't engage. And quit whining about it here for everyone to see just so you can broadcast how much of a mess you are.

Then, when it swung back to 75-80, the celebrations started all over again because people claimed it was just an American tactic to scoop up cheap currency. Honestly, even with an economics degree, wouldn't you have seen through that logic? 😵 👍
All I know for sure is that someone out there is making a massive fortune.
The whole "Russia is collapsing" thing is just a narrative. That's the same crap Adolf was screaming from his bunker back in AD 1945.

There’s zero chance they’re going to swallow those Russian terms and start paying for gas in rubles.
The ruble is basically in a freefall right now and there isn't a damn thing that can stop it.
I'm betting everything that the European Union is going to dig their heels in and refuse to pay a single cent in rubles. It’s the only way to stay upright, honestly. 👍
Man, that gas price per ruble has gotta be some kind of April Fools' joke. There's no way they'd actually tank their own economy like that, especially since the European Union wouldn't even blink at the impact.

Just more empty pipe dreams from those pathetic little green activists.☕
