modern day vikings gonna loot’n’pillage

first two paragraphs should be enough to convince anyone that it’s not news, just a highly biased opinion piece

Argentina’s statistics agency on Wednesday published annual inflation of 254% as January inflation edged down to 20.6% from 25.5% a month earlier, just below forecasts of 257% and 21% according to analysts polled by Reuters.

that part is really confusing - it’s down 20.6% to 254% from 257%?

depends on what side of the battlefront you’re on

still very impressive.

so what? the UN isnt going to do anything about it.

it’s different because it’s not your house, it’s a country.

it seems like one of the key defining principals of the fediverse is platform evolution - mastodon, bluesky, and lemmy are just going to be footnotes in history.

why not just hold it, frozen, until Putin dies/gets assassinated and someone not batshit crazy takes his place?

good, now do India!

it’s not really difficult to recycle plastics (depolymerisation) - but it’s not cheap to do it at scale and there really isnt any way to profit from it, so it’s just not done.

Bernie’s retiring from politics then?

could still play out that way - but Nigeria isnt the most stable place, a hard shove or two would easily topple their house of cards

Rwanda is blameless then?

perhaps Brazil or whomever should stop burning it down?

just like Germany’s V2 rockets! but using proven tech

brand new sentence

as long as the troops are imbibing on their off time/not while on patrol then I dont see how it matters if it’s legal or not. what are they going to do, send them to the war front?

there wont be a “gaza” after the war
