... Why? I don't feel particularly insulted at the moment.

Exports to Kyrgyzstan shot up after Russia invaded Ukraine. Not because there's an economic miracle in Kyrgyzstan, but because they're smuggling the goods to Russia (is the implication at least).

what happened when the EU forced apple to move to USB-C.

Apple messed up is what happened. None of the other manufacturers appears to have this issue, despite the same legislation applying to them.

This is solely on Apple fucking up.

Ever considered neither Hezbollah nor Israel seem to care about civilian lives? Are they, perhaps, both fucking terrible?

Yes, that was the joke. Clearly people didn't get it.

Out of genuine curiosity, which country do you consider to be a real Marxist state?

Renewables will not cover your usage.

False. Multiple countries are already able to run on 100% renewables for prolonged periods of time. The bigger issue is what to do with excess power. Battery solutions can cover moments where renewables produce a bit less power.

You literally argued that demand spiked after the stimulus checks and therefore caused inflation? And now you're arguing "oh this demand spike didn't have an effect at the time but it does have one after a year of no more stimulus"?

Make up your mind. Either stimulus directly impacted demand so severely that it causes severe inflation, or the "demand spike" you asserted with nothing but anecdotal evidence did not cause inflation but is somehow now causing prolonged inflation. Instead of, you know, the vastly more likely and by experts agreed upon cause of covid-induced damage to supply chains. Which also conveniently explains supply shortages and why demand is barely at pre-covid levels.

But I'm sure your misinterpretation of various economic terms is the more likely cause.
