@techsouth saidYou brought up HUGO CHAVEZ, who truly,
Never once argued in support of Nixon. In fact, my hope was that we'd remember the lessons learned by inflation in the 70s, but apparently not.
And I don't think you are using "whataboutism" correctly. If I had been defending Biden by saying "he may be kind of bad, but what about Chavez? Look how bad he is. Biden is good by comparison", that would be "whataboutism". ...[text shortened]... , if inflation continues to escalate, wait and see what happens and remember what I've written here.
had nothing, whatever to do with this subject.

@techsouth saidSo blaming corporations is scapegoating when you vote for a party who gets kickbacks for corporate tax cuts. And so you scapegoat the government because you vote for the out-of-power party.
Exactly what Hugo Chávez was saying as Venezuela was on it's way to removing 14 zeros from their currency in their currency adjustment. Bad leaders ALWAYS scapegoat industry as the effects of their expansion of currency supply leads to price increases. And sadly, there are ALWAYS plenty of ordinary citizens who will accept any excuse the regime in power offers.
Next wi ...[text shortened]... when allowed to continue that far let to families having to eat their pets to survive in Venezuela.
Do I have that about right?

@jj-adams saidNormal?
Less than $50 a tank for a dinky hybrid gas/electric clown car.
I'm glad for you.
Does it have air conditioning?
So you can see how someone with a normal 4 door sedan could pay twice that, right?
I have a "normal" 4 door sedan that gets 30 miles a gallon and it has a 13 gal gas tank.
I still wanna know what kind of behemoth you drive that has a 20 gal gas tank.

@JJ-Adams
What makes you think it's "dinky?" It's a Rav4, has 4 doors and a good cargo area in the back. Cruises 80 on the highway easily (I don't drive much faster than that). When we moved from the country to the town, didn't need the pick-up anymore.
And, yeah, it has air conditioning.

I was active in the libertarian party before getting married. After a meeting one time, we discussed what would happen to the Libertarian party's moral standing should the party grow to the size of the other two. We all agreed, that now powerful libertarian party would become corrupt.
It goes with the territory, eh? - "Who watches the watchers?"
