"It's Putin's fault that we are making so much money. Blame him. Not my fault I had to turn my indoor swimming pool into a Scrooge McDuck style money diving vault, leave me alone!"
BP sees biggest profit in 14 years as energy bills soarhttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-62382624Set to go up another 77% for UK homes in October. They estimate peak winter months will be on average £500 per month. I don’t understand how the average family will afford it. I’ve never known a time like this. Diesel is £1.90 per litre, inflation is out of control. How the US Gov can say we are not in a recession I do not know. It’s more likely to become a great depression.
Luckily mostly thanks to being early in bitcoin I will always be fine but I am annoyed at the current world situation.
Indeed.
Interest rates are to be raised by another 0.5% tomorrow. Inflation will hit 15-17% later this year / early next year. There isn't an interest hike large enough that could ever deal with that, unless you want everyone on the streets intentionally. I bet the next genius move will be the 100 year mortgage, to be paid off by your children, like in Japan.
How anyone on minimum wage can afford a place to live, heating and food in this upcoming winter, I truly don't understand.
And to top it off, after the one big clown imbecile in charge of this country finally got removed, it is in fact a race between his biggest criminal culprits, the previous chancellor of the exchequer and the foreign secretary who will take over.
Un-fucking-believable!
