I thought about selling my truck which could get me $10k before taxes.For those of you with cars that are now way up in price - are you thinking of selling?
I am tempted to offload what I have and just free as much cash up as possible for any incoming deals on property.
$2.50 x 3.785ish liters per gallon = $9.46+ per gallon for us Americans. Yikes!Petrol just hit $2.50 a litre in my hometown in Australia.
Gobsmacked.
Everyone will call it a black swan, despite being totally predictable.Have a feeling a black swan event is going to come if this continues.

Suggests that real inflation is more like 15-19%, which IMO, is more reflective of the reality on the ground. Every price increase I encounter is not 6%, it's 15-20%.
I can't believe how utterly stupid european bureaucrats are with their freaking sanctions seriously. Putin has never made more money with his oil than now, selling it to India and friends (and rightfully so). He could unplug Europe tomorrow if he wanted. No energy means EVERYTHING stops. Total madness.Putin will have maximum leverage come October time to cut Europe off.
Well, sometimes pointless virtue signalling costs money in the real world. But I'm sure European leaders have a plan to keep people warm this winter - can't wait to hear all about it.I can't believe how utterly stupid european bureaucrats are with their freaking sanctions seriously.

On top of this, until now we were paying our energy with worthless euros the ECB was printing in its basement, now we have to somehow find dollars to buy it elsewhere, against which the euro lost 15% in the last year. Absolute geniuses.
Reagan did this in the 80's - actually, his head of the CIA got with the Saudis and convinced them to flood the oil market - destroying the Soviet Union. Pretty genius.This is my very uneducated opinion and I'd love if anyone else has more facts and figures to argue in favour or against this. Should the US and Europe be ending fossil fuel sanctions on Russia, Iran and Venezuela. Surely it would be more advantageous to flood the market with more supply. Even if those regimes generate a windfall from these fossil fuels they will still be falling behind overall in every other area of their economies. Fossil fuels are on the way out, within 5-10 years the utter reliance on these producer countries will be gone anyways.
I thought India had high price(1.40$ a litre) but damn thats almost twice.Petrol just hit $2.50 a litre in my hometown in Australia.
Gobsmacked.
New Zealand has been over $3 for months, it was $1.60 in Australia and $3 there for a while. I was laughing at all my mates in New Zealand sending them the prices here, now we’ve voted Australia’s joe Biden in and now it’s $2.20. I knew they were waiting till after the election. Not so funny anymore. Interest rates going up too.I thought India had high price(1.40$ a litre) but damn thats almost twice.

Yeah, they wait till their shit(election) gets done and then start their real shitshow. "Flags may be different but methods are the same".

$21.48The price is $61or $21 ?
Damnn bro , seems like Inflation is hard in Canada atm .$21.48
It's $61.71 per kg, he bought 0.348kg x 61 = $21.48
Prices in my neck of the woods (Ottawa, Ontario) are insane as well for groceries. Seems like just about everything is a few bucks more than I'd expect. Just about every order I do is about 50-100% more than I would typically guess it to be.
Gas hovers around $2 per liter around here.
I wanted to buy a new monitor recently for the kids, to give them each two monitors in their room. The SAME one I bought for $180 6 months back is now $285.
Basically everything has gone up in cost as far as I can tell. Luckily my family isn't too worried but I can see how some lesser off people would be pulling their hair out as they tighten their belts...
Senator Tuberville, on the committee of agriculture, has bet big on commodity futures in cattle, corn, and a few more in the US... INSIDERS trading? Idk but apparently he believes pretty strongly that food is going to get scarce in the US, too.Well this seems like a fair price for a steak... Keep in mind this is Canadian per kg. Still...

I will be buying a deep freezer and a while or half cow soon. I think for a few $1000 it’s going to be good piece of mind knowing it’s there.Senator Tuberville, on the committee of agriculture, has bet big on commodity futures in cattle, corn, and a few more in the US...

Haha sad but true ...The World EconomicForumForce is strong in Canada. Klaus Schwab controls the Imperial Senate and the last remnants of the Old Republic are in ruin. As liberty died, Canadians responded with thunderous applause.
