Did the dumber than dumb one Bowen make any remarks about his EVs or did the other clowns tell him to keep his mouth shut?

I could just see him coming out spruking about the fuel problems, making his EVs look like a great option.

I havent been able to resupply my powder reserves since the Americans and Israelis chose to bomb a sovereign a Nation for absolute nothing.

MY LGS and several others i business with, all say the same thing. Leave us your name and phone number and if ADI ever come around to us, we'll let you know. Crickets. They wont take pre payment cause they dont know when they'll get poweder.
It's disgusting. No such thing in the rest of the world.

At least open the import flood gates to allow powder from Asia.

Yes he did, Fester, and he was caned for it.
Unfortunately, we have "leaders" that are lifelong mummy's boy activists, who don't pay for fuel, transport, food or anything else.
He was hidden for a few days, but came back out of his spider hole.

We used to be able to have world level disasters, wars lasting 5-20 years, the entire middle east in flames, GFC's, oil crises and total stockmarket collapses without the price of everyday items budging. A tube of toothpaste cost the same at the beginning of the GFC by the end of it.

Now we have pandemics, wars between two ex soviet dumps, middle eastern squabbles and they are used as an excuse to lift the prices of 25.000 line items in supermarkets and everything else, and the billioniares unilaterally double their money. And this is how you know its BS... the price never comes back down once the issue is over.

We are in a new era where any instability= complete flogging for the middle class and doubling net worth for the top guys. And thats literal, almost every billionaire has made bank since covid, ukraina/russia and its taking another steep climb now.

Once upon a time world disasters and GFC's and wars actually used to impact their wealth as well, put a bunch out of business even. Thes eguiys certainly closed that loophole. Any problems in the world now and its one way traffic, our money into their pockets. There are only two options- either these things are constructed scams or they are legitimate but the guys at the top are colluding to conflate markets during them.

So the funny thing is it doesnt matter if you are economist or conspiracy theorist anymore, we are all getting the same f***ing anyway. and none of our kids get to own a house. Sort of amusing that this class robbery unites us all at the cash register.

Russians tried to negotiate. Iranians tried to negotiate. Those in power don't like the terms and so it continues.
