Other than military assets and domestic political control, a major contributor to Putin’s strategic autonomy are his robust fx reserves. There is going to be no repeat of 1998. thedailyshot.com/2022/01/03/us-… https://t.co/4G0ik2Fnaz

@SineadJCarolan @LDHerrine @IsabellaMWeber And all the while, by far largest drivers of inflation are energy, vehicles & housing.

@LDHerrine @SineadJCarolan @IsabellaMWeber Real politics involves not bracketing but tempering our enthusiasm for the enabling power of intellectual discourse with this banal but unfortunately all-important calculation. How much? By when? For whom? At what price?
@LDHerrine @SineadJCarolan @IsabellaMWeber Seriously this is question. How much? How much of 2022 inflation can be countered with controls. If answer is not a lot. Then I want to see the political calculus that warrants widening the discursive field in light of the shit-storm you risk.

@LDHerrine @SineadJCarolan @IsabellaMWeber Why would anyone be categorically opposed? The question is, how much of current US “inflation” do you think can best be tamed by price controls and at what price? The answer in my view is not enough to make it worth the likely fight and '46 is entirely irrelevant in any case.
