I complained about the Ukraine war thread which at the time of that posting was full of some pretty heinous poo poo that it got hit for months later. I stand by everything I said in both threads including that the GBS thread went off the deep end after that and had to be reigned in.

It's okay to like a thread but having megathreaditis where a team develops to live it 24/7 and turn posters into it into cults of personality never works out. I also complained about the Coolzone pre-shooting and got roasted for spoiling everyones fun when i told the future shooter he probably shouldnt be goong to protests looking to shoot people after he had been shot for attacking someone.

So you are predicting that a poster is going to go rogue and fire an artillery shell at the toe of a Ukrainian Nazi? I mean...it isn't impossible.

Semper Shitpost Ubique

Rectal Death Adept posted:

Comrades, in the report of the Central Committee of the forum at the 20th Congress, in a number of speeches by delegates to the Congress, as also formerly during the plenary SAD/CSPAM sessions, quite a lot has been said about the theory of artillery and its application in the war in Ukraine and its consequences...

Allow me first of all to remind you how severely the classics of military science denounced every manifestation of ineffective artillery use. In a letter to the German military strategist, Wilhelm Bloss, Marx stated: "From my antipathy to any inefficient use of artillery, I never made public during the existence of the International the numerous addresses from various countries which recognized my merits and which annoyed me. I did not even reply to them, except sometimes to rebuke their authors. Engels and I first joined the secret society of military strategists on the condition that everything making for superstitious worship of artillery would be deleted from its statute...

The great modesty of the genius of the revolution, Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, is known. Lenin had always stressed the role of the people as the creator of artillery doctrine and fires management, the directing and fire control role of the battery as a living and creative organism, and also the role of the central FDC/Arty Command Post.

Artillery theory does not negate the role of the leaders of the military in directing the revolutionary liberation movement.

While ascribing great importance to the role of the leaders and organizers of the masses, Lenin at the same time mercilessly stigmatized every manifestation of the inefficient use of artillery, inexorably combated the foreign-to-military science views about a "hero" and a "crowd" and countered all efforts to oppose a "hero" to the masses and to the people.

Lenin taught that the party's strength depends on its indissoluble unity with the masses, on the fact that behind the party follow the people - workers, peasants and intelligentsia. "Only he will win and retain the power," said Lenin, "who believes in the people, who submerges himself in the fountain of the living creativeness of the people.". . .”can call a time-on-target barrage”.

During Lenin's life, the centralized fire control at the brigade level was a real expression of collective leadership of the party and of the Nation. Being a militant Marxist-revolutionist, always unyielding in matters of principle, Lenin never imposed by force his views upon his coworkers. He tried to convince; he patiently explained his opinions to others…

From that paper:

"Our finding that “Coal and petroleum products” is by far the most important sector for inflation underscores the challenges involved in maintaining price
stability while transitioning to non-fossil fuel energy sources."

Its the oil, stupid!

-------------

Anyway, if you have a spike in both oil prices and shortages in other sectors, it gives near-monopolies wide-control over prices. At its root, the inflation that is currently being felt is a result of both the recovery from the pandemic as well as the Ukraine conflict and its impact on US relations with OPEC.

However, housing/food/retail show greater profit-taking than other industries, which suggests that those sectors (usually ones where people don't have a choice) are where the worst gouging is happening. Essentially, it is a double-whammy, not only has oil prices had flowed through the economy but certain critical sectors people have to rely on are taking profit-taking as much as possible.

As anyone with half a brain could see a year ago. Ukraine, the World's Breadbasket and right on the middle of the flow of fossil fuels from Russia...that was bad news after the pandemic. I'm still not sure what Putin expected, but he was clearly mistaken about the readiness of his army. Put all that aside (there's a thread for that), it turbofucked the world economy and there's a thousand stories for why it's Workers' fault when it's clear as day what is really going on.

It did that, but there were also several other issues that made it worse. The decline in Saudi-US relations specifically has meant that OPEC is purposefully keeping oil at a higher level than it should be. In addition, you already had a housing crisis before March 2022, and that isn't going away.

Furthermore, there are some pretty clear signs of price-gouging in the data from food retailers. At this point, many communities simply don't have a choice between Walmart or Kroger, and they can set prices at will.

-----------

I think deflation is going to be tricky while would expect, as back in 2008-2012, that a recession would cause lower prices and inflation to offset other factors. But in reality, energy and housing prices are simply not falling quickly enough, while wages are unable to catch up.

It's common sense that grocery stores and suppliers are running numbers. Every frozen pizza brand has shrunk significantly. Large looks like a pre-pandemic small and that's the only size they have besides personal pan pizzas. Can't get most cereals in large boxes anymore. Cheap 30lb bags of dog food are over $20 now. All of the frozen fish sticks, chicken nuggets, Hot pockets, tator tots and stuff for my kids is both up on price and down on size. We're being robbed, while profits rise.
