Nathan Evans78 said:I'm not entirely sure about the exact numbers, but I've been seeing reports in the mainstream news lately suggesting they're tightening their ties with China more and more.
The data points listed below really seem to back that up. ☕

brightheron64 said:That’s actually fantastic news because... well, the principle of connected vessels still seems to apply here:
f things follow the current trend leading up to next Tuesday, December 20th, we might see diesel prices dip by about 15 cents, which would bring the new price down to roughly $3.75 per gallon. As for gasoline, it could potentially drop by about 30 cents, meaning we might see a new price of around $3.25 per gallon...
Anthony Hill5 said:How exactly is this a positive development? Have we not essentially shot ourselves in the foot, the knee, the chest, and the head by failing to implement sanctions against Russia earlier?
Bryan Booth82 said:Ha! The narratives shift so fast, it’s almost funny. Next thing you know, they'll be saying, "...I never actually said that..." or "...I never wrote that..."

brightheron64 said:Everything I just mentioned holds true, but... there's a catch, because the real question isn't just "how long can Russia hold out?" rather, the question is "how much longer can the rest of us endure this?"!

You might be able to skip driving or even skip turning on the heat, but you absolutely have to eat...
Nathan Thomas12 said:Back in March, you were predicting we'd run out of oil, then gas, then food.
Well, it's mid-December now and we're still standing...
Arthur Miller7 said:But next year, or maybe next winter, or the winter after that... give me a break!
Nathan Thomas12 said:America’s gonna be looking at running out of oil and gas almost every single year. It happened last year, it’s happening this year, and it’ll probably happen again next year too. ☕
Nathan Thomas12 said:Wait, how does that work?
For months now, you've been predicting that Europe was going to freeze solid.

brightheron64 said:Winter isn't even officially here for another three days, yet this war... well, let's just hope it wraps up within the next 333 days, if we're lucky...
It really comes down to who managed to hold their ground...
I’ve managed to pull through just by soaking up all that sunshine—thank goodness my apartment faces south—and layering up in plenty of sweaters instead of relying on the electric heater...
Just look at the price of a single egg these days, or even just basic staples like flour, milk, and chicken... It’s getting ridiculous. And don't even get me started on the current business trends—if you can call my sector of miserable private entrepreneurship that—because sales are cratering, and my paycheck is taking a hit right along with them since everything is tied to performance...
By the way, you didn't just copy the posts, you copied the links too... so I have to wonder, are these actually my own predictions, or am I just echoing the opinions of the "experts" found within those links...

Arthur Miller7 said:Because honestly, we’ve never dealt with inflation like this before, layoffs weren't even a thing, and food was getting cheaper every day until now... someone clearly slept through life.
