The bomber, identified as Francisco Wanderley Luiz, was dressed in an outfit reminiscent of the Joker, the notorious comic book villain. His attire — a suit and trousers printed with playing card symbols on a dark green background — was completed by a white hat found next to his body. In 2020, Mr. Luiz ran unsuccessfully for city council in Rio do Sul, Santa Catarina, securing only 98 votes.

Name names? Who is supporting gaetz?

The goddamn establishment and their age of consent norms

Tulsi Gabbard is a military intelligence officer in a psyops division, and a member of a far right, super racist and homophobic Hare Krishna splinter cult.

Gaetz is a pedophile and human trafficker which makes him a pretty bad person but I think they're both so bad that it becomes hard to make a meaningful comparison.

It seems republicans are upset with Trump for poaching from their House majority, and since Gaetz left his seat the funniest thing could happen

The Central Bank works for the IMF, that’s it.

The more the government subsidizes the economy, the more the Central Bank raises the interest rate and artificially lowered the ruble exchange rate to prevent the government from helping the people. I didn’t make this up, the Deputy Governor of the Bank of Russia, Alexey Zabotkin, said this publicly last summer under the pretense of “curbing inflation”.

With a lower exchange rate, imports become more expensive, so inflation also goes up.

What is surprising is that consumer and corporate lending continue to go up in spite of the high interest rate, which suggests that the Central Bank’s monetary weapon to curb spending is not only ineffective, but will soon be reaching its limit (at 21% now).

We are reaching a point where the Central Bank is near to exhaust its arsenal that can influence the economy, but the damage is already done.

Russia's economy faces stress as high interest rates fail to control inflation.

Maybe because interest rates doesn't reduce inflation and can have the opposite effect.

Its so stupid that interest rates is the only thing against inflation liberals can imagine. How about the Government buys all the potatoes and sells it a price that's socially desirable. The Government can also accumulate excess potatoes and offload it during shortages, I'm not sure about Russia but it is a thing in some countries.

US Government does it with oil and it kinda works, not as well as it would because oil corps have an oligopoly and have price setting power.

The liberal argument against that would be the shortage of potatoes would manifest as empty stores instead of higher prices and that is true. People may also over consume.

But there is another way, have a fixed quantity of potatoes sold at discounted rates. Rest at higher rate or maybe market rates.

Modern Russia is so capitalist-brained. Not just interest rates but I have seen videos of kulaks destroying produce.

Imagine if you said American inflation was bad because the cost of cherries in march was 400% higher than it was in July.

Potatoes have around 1 year of shelf life so their value fluctuates depending on the time of year. If they have a bad season the price will rise regardless of inflation.
