    The point isn’t that they’re word for word the same but that the onion made a joke about the trump cult that came true

      Except not; saying “Iran war is worth economic pain” and “high gas prices are loved” are different arguments even if both are absurd they are not functionally similar arguments.

            Except that the problem isn’t only from the cartel right now, the problem is that now a important route was blocked due to war which made petroil transport harder making it more pricey and that reflects on prices that consumers see

            That’s literally the free market behaving as it’s supposed to. Prices are increased to the highest point all goods get sold, so during shortages prices spike.

            If you don’t like this, you don’t like capitalism.

                It’s the word “excuse” that doesn’t fit right. There is no shame in the action for them, no duplicity or deception. The Iran war is an opportunity for them to jack up the price, an opportunity they always take when available as is their fiduciary duty.

          Relevance? Second isn’t saying high gas prices are good but they are worth it for “so and so goal” not the same.

            Give it a couple more months to line up more literally, then they won’t even need a reason to love the pedo’s plans
