It is NOT two years. It is two centuries that companies like Exxon have been able to set prices as high as the buyers have money in their wallets and take the maximum profit. There are inflation adjustments going back 200 years and we are paying 200 times more today than way-back when. That isn't the way America would run, except if Exxon and like companies had complete control of America and were squeezing all the money they can from Americans.

I know plenty of poor people. But unlike Signym, who has declared poor people were made poor by rich people, I know for certain that poor people in America are self-taught ignoramuses about money, inflation, business, everything about American industry.

Both sides of my family, father and mother, are from East Texas and they were poor before I was born. About 60 years ago, when I was 10 years old, a woman by the name of Mrs. Kesseler converted my parents to being Jehovah's Witnesses. My parents moved to Pasadena Texas to get away from their angry poor white trash relatives, who were not at all Christian, although my white trash relatives believe they are the true Christians. I am not sure how people who don't follow the Bible can convince themselves they are followers of Jesus, but my relatives have proved it is possible. Along with not being Christians, despite claiming they are, my relatives are all Trumptards and their actual religion is that their problems: financial/work/family/health insurance/Social Security/Medicare hardships are caused by Democrats.

This belief that you know something you do not also includes the knowledge of how money, finance, and investment work. My mother and father worked at Burger King, my father as a manager. When my mother died, she was a multi-millionaire. Actually following the Bible will make you rich. My poor white trash relatives? They are still poor and still in East Texas. All my East Texas relatives, who think they were so much smarter than my parents, have gone through mortgage foreclosures, auto repossessions, bankruptcies, convictions for embezzlement, divorces, health problems caused by their non-Christian and out-of-control lifestyles, etc.

My parents understood how money works, and my relatives have never understood, although they think they do and will loudly declare that the Republicans know how to run the country. How many times has Trump gone bankrupt? But he knows how to run a country. Just ask my Trumptard relatives.

The Russians are poor compared to Finns. How did that happen? Two countries, side by side, and yet one has a GDP per capita that four time larger than the other. How do things like that happen? On a more personal level, how did my parents leaving their relatives (all Trumptards) behind cause their East Texas relatives to have net-worth only 25% (or less) of my parents?

There are many comparisons between Finland and Russia. Russia looks inferior in all of them, except for quantities of nukes. In belligerency, Russia exceeds Finland. How much better does war make the typical Russian compared to a Finn? Trumptards, especially East Texas angry poor white trash, rank very high in belligerence but that has not worked any better for them than Russia's belligerency has worked for Russians.

I don't see what your point is. A) There could be a million reasons why one country does better than another, even though your pea brain can only focus on two or three. B) You seem to think I give a shit about Russia.

I don't. Fuck Ukraine. Fuck Russia. Fuck Finland.

Russians have always bitched about Europe not treating Russia with the respect Russians demand. Meanwhile, Finns never had the over-inflated sense of self-worth that the Russians have, which is why Finns went about their daily jobs improving their lives while Russians have schemed to get respect from Europeans. All that scheming and H-bomb building and controlling the Warsaw Pact countries has done the Russians no good, whatsoever. Neither will controlling Ukraine do Russians any good. On the other side of the border, Finland never had Russian delusions of grandeur, and avoided all the emotional energy Russians have wasted on tomfoolery and nonsense. The results? Finns are richer and happier than Russians. To explain the difference in prosperity, Russians think the Finns cheated somehow. I guess Russians cannot understand what they have done wrong, no more than my East Texas relatives can understand what they are doing wrong and how their prosperity is harmed by how wastefully they spend their lives.

And how the fuck do you know any of this?

Don't bother answering that question. It's rhetorical.

You don't know shit.

You want to see over-inflated self worth. You don't have to go far. Even poor people have mirrors in their bathroom.

Get fucked, worm.

Take two countries living side-by-side: North and South Korea. One spent all their time and money building H-bombs, rockets and threatening war. The other did not. Which one is richer? By the way, North Korea exists because Russia set that country up. Funny how both Russia and North Korea have to issue at least once per week a new threat to nuke the world. It is almost like successful people think alike - Putin and Kim are super successful people in charge of countries that are widely admired for being wealthy, healthy, peaceful, and wise.

Which part of the Bible is that? The part tht says

Quote:
Indeed, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."

https://www.biblehub.com/matthew/19-24.htm

Or maybe the part that says

Quote:
Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves. 13 “It is written,” he said to them, “‘My house will be called a house of prayer,’[a] but you are making it ‘a den of robbers.’”

The angry poor white trash living in East Texas (Trumptards) have little understanding of the biblical laws forbidding adultery, stealing, giving false witness, coveting their neighbor's possessions, drunkenness, gluttony, etc. As Trumptards go through life, they think following rules is an abridgement of their Constitutional freedoms, but breaking those biblical laws, even one time, can throw a Trumptard into poverty. That never stopped the Trumptards I'm familiar with from breaking all the laws all the time. They handle the inconsistency between what the bible says and what the Trumptard does by lying about what the Trumptards have done. That strategy doesn't work well in real life for Trumptards or for Russians torturing prisoners.
