Yes. As progressive were scorched across the ENTIRE western world.
Inflation still existed. Wealth concentration still got worse. That still equated to less money for normal people, even if we did "better than those other people"

If you've got a light switch that didn't turn on the lights when you flipped it, that light switch didn't work.
Similarly, every defensive play is meant to prevent a score or a first down. And my brother on Christ, by definition, this play DID NOT WORK.

Good question; in very broad strokes, they exaggerate ketogenesis and ketone reabsorption while suppressing endogenous insulin release (and supplemental insulin dosing) which keeps the patient in a prolonged insulin-deficient state.
The drug clears but the metabolic changes take ages to rebalance.

Took a quick scroll of the topic feed just now: maybe 1% of these are positive, and that's probably being generous.

Get a cat. Less maintenance, easier to sell to the wife. Some of them act like dogs. Ours plays fetch and walks on a harness.
Soul-mated so hard with this little fucker. Yes he breaks stuff but he also snuggles like a champ when he's not breaking stuff.

All anybody reads now is the headline.
Consumers, not readers. Readers call and complain. Consumers consume and move on.
This analysis of yours is basically survivorship bias: the ones who survive the bad headlines are the only ones 'making it home' to complain.

The numbers now are more comparable to WW2 when Russia lost 6.75 million troops. And it could handle those losses because it had the resources of the entire Soviet Union to steal and horde for itself after the war.

It's pay-to-play here, for everything. Including transit when most of the country needs to own a car and many can't pay to repair or replace it if it breaks.

Look in not trying to contradict you or take the sting out of your anger. The third of the country that voted against all this is also incredibly pissed off. But your math misses a key point:

Trump's actually #2 on this one. OPEC started it earlier in the week and doubled down despite the tariff reaction. Could also be trying to appease Trump who exempted oil and gas already - but I think this is more likely:
