I continue to work day and night at the Lathe. South Africa! It’s time to become even cooler!
holy shit this would be glorious! plz South Africa do a funny one
Jesus Christ we have a emote for everything.
Could use a “lol, go around bitch!” though.
and it’s staying low for way longer
Ansar Allah stay winning
What a brilliant move by the Genocide Joe administration to take the Yemeni blockade of Israeli commerce and turn it into a blockade of Israeli and US commerce. All it took was some airstrikes that literally everybody knew would not work!
they don’t work, jack, but we’re going to keep doing them!The fact that he actually said this…
He’s dumb and senile, what did anyone expect
This loser was bottom of the barrel in his college class, and has been ruthlessly schooled any time he had to go negotiate for anything, to say nothing of the litany of ‘Bidenisms’ that exist
It was a miracle he managed to sound as coherent as he did when he was young considering how dim he is, now he’s decaying into a husk
I’m disappointed he isn’t MORE off kilter more often
I’ve heard that the Arab words for Suez Crisis translate to the same thing as Suez Opportunity.
Oh holy shit! What did the Yemeni people who did the attack want, just so I know? Have the US and it’s allies been doing anything in the region that might arouse their ire? Maybe there’s something they could cease doing in order to bring about more harmony in the world.
Nope, open another front
What’s gonna be the long term effect of this? Predictions?
price of consumer goods rise
if it escalates into something bigger, it might lead to the end of cheap consumer goods in the west
As if it hasn’t, already…
Do you claim that the era of cheap consumer goods has already ended in the west? You really haven’t experienced what expensive consumer goods feels like.
Tell me, what does it look like? (Srsly I don’t understand)
Because the groceries here in Canada are damn expensive, compared to Dubai, U.A.E or Singapore, considering my migrant parents’ salaries there must either be more larger, have better purchasing parity or both…

Luanda, Angola is what will happen when global supply chains collapse. KFC cannot be had for less than 20 US dollars. A pint of Haagen-Dazs costs 17 US dollars. This is what will become of imported consumer goods once global supply chains collapse.
Consider that in the USA even poor people drive cars. Do you think that poor people in all countries can afford to drive cars? In many places, a Toyota Camry is considered a luxury item.
The entire world really is turning into Guatemala lol This is pretty close to how we live as well. It sucks.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
It looks like the cost of the latest iPhone or premium Android device being over half a years salary at minimum wage. Eating fast food becomes a luxury because it’s expensive.
Hell yeah I’m gonna lose weight
I guess starving counts as losing weight too…
Prices + unemployment 📈 -> people won’t make enough money to buy stuff other than maybe food -> companies can’t pay off their debts or sustain their inflated production, feeding into a feedback loop of higher prices and unemployment -> no more credit from the banks, as they know they won’t get paid back -> companies won’t be opened anymore, trying to expand will become impossible, global monopolies will take over the production vacuum and become even stronger, dragging the world deeper into imperialism.
You know, ye olde capitalist crisis.
Read Marx
Have we considered what this feedback loop will do in China? All of those consumer goods are produced there.
I have no idea, since they can be more or less hands-on with their economy as they need. Maybe their industry would need an even more developed third world to make up for the lost consumption in the west, but now I’m just guessing
Edit: enter BRI
In the very long run, it probably ends with the west becoming “colonized” by more productive economies. Being the imperial core takes the heaviest toll on you, and Lenin noticed that over 100 years ago
i mean i hope it’s helping handicap the israeli war effort and they’ll face defeat on the battlefield–but i think the west can probably cope for an unfortunately long while
The Houthis are about to find out why we don’t have free healthcare!
(Our imported medical supplies are being diverted around the Cape of Good Hope)
Someone i know second hand couldn’t get his chemo drugs and had to go to his health insurance to ask for approval for a different medication.
Their nefarious attacks
Our lawful blockade
