“In Tehran, hope for change turns to panic: ‘They are turning the country into ruins'” (NBC):
Prices on basic goods have ramped up about 10% since the war started, residents say.
In other words, all of the military might that we’ve thrown at Iran has done less damage to their economy than the Biden-Harris administration did to ours? See below, for the 21 percent inflation that working and saving Americans suffered.
(Why only “working and saving Americans”? The Americans who were wise enough to choose the welfare lifestyle of public housing, Medicaid, SNAP, and Obamaphone didn’t suffer since they received most of their spending power in kind rather than in cash and their SNAP benefits were automatically adjusted for inflation at official rates.)
If only housing really was only 20% higher than 5 years ago, for us blog commenters. Based on how fast the news cycle shifted to synagogue bombing, the war really does seem to have had a swift ending. Now they’ll import some new missiles from Russia & go back to bombing Israel in a couple months.
