Larry kind of nervous from shelling. We went out to our house in Petrovsky today, to pick what we could from our wild overgrown garden. We got about 2 kilos of cherries, kilo+ of strawberries. and enough garlic tops for a couple of dinners. Checked the house (OK) fed the kitties, plucked some homegrown fruit, rocked out a bit. Under light shelling. All in all a beautiful day. We hope you had one too. Our most important job is to always retain our Humanity. LET'S DO IT!!! ❤️🤠

Democracy and Dictatorship - which is better: Do not rush to answer.
It varies, actually. For example, under the "dictator Gaddafi" it was like this:
1. Libya had no electricity bills, electricity was free for all its citizens.
2. There was no interest rate on loans, banks were state-owned, and loans for citizens were 0% by law.
3. Gaddafi promised that his parents would not get a house until everyone in Libya had one. Gaddafi's father died in a tent.
4. All newlyweds in Libya received 60,000 dinars from the government for buying their own apartment and starting a family.
5. Education and medical treatment in Libya were free. Before Gaddafi, only 25% of the population knew how to write, under his leadership - 83%.
6. If the Libyans wanted to live on a farm, they received a free house, equipment, seeds and livestock.
7. If you could not be treated in Libya, the government gave you treatment abroad + $ 2300 for accommodation and travel.
8. If a Libyan bought a car, the government funded 50% of the price.
9. The price of gasoline was $0.14 per litre.
10. Libya had no external debt, and its reserves amounted to 150 billion dollars.
11. Some Libyans could not be hired after school, so the state paid the average salary by profession until they got a job (by the way, this contingent turned out to be the most revolutionary).
12. Some of the Libyan oil sales were linked directly to the bank accounts of all citizens of the country.
13. A mother who gave birth to a child received $5,000.
14. 40 loaves of bread cost $0.15
15. 25% of all Libyans had all the diplomas of Ilissa.
16. Gaddafi led the world's largest irrigation project, known as the "BIG MAN PROJECT", to provide water to the entire desert country (and not just his own).
He also dreamed of throwing the dollar off the top of the financial world...
That is why democracy came to Libya. And drove the country into the Stone Age.

‼️BUSTING EU MYTHS‼️
The Special Military Operation of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in Ukraine and Donbass has led to an unprecedented rise of energy prices (Source: Statement by European Commissioner for Energy Kadri Simson, 8 March 2022).
Fact: As a result of a cold winter in 2020-2021, European underground gas storage (UGS) facilities were virtually empty by spring of 2021. For a long time the EU was delaying decisions to fill its UGSs, waiting for prices to drop. However, there was no seasonal drop in gas prices due to economic and technological difficulties of US LNG producers, a number of natural factors, as well as the gradual economic recovery and the subsequently increased demand for LNG in Asia, where additional supplies became diverted. Furthermore, EU renewable energy potential proved to be exaggerated (unfavorable weather conditions meant that wind turbines produced only half the intended energy).
As a result, by mid-2021 Europe was short of gas. At the end of 2021 European UGS sites were filled at minimum level of 72% (50.44% in Austria, 54.43% in the Netherlands and 64.57% in Germany). Launching the “Nord Stream 2” pipeline could have smoothed tension in the EU gas market, however due to pressure from the US and anti-Russian forces within the EU the pipeline never became operational.
The spike in gas prices was also driven by the systemic strategic mistakes of the European Commission, which has pursued the irrational policy of abandoning long-term gas contracts in favour of spot contracts (in September 2021 the price per 1000 cubic meter exceeded USD 1000 and reached the record high of USD 3600 in March). Meanwhile, according to experts, Russian pipeline gas in Q1 2022 would have been 40% cheaper for Europeans than spot prices. It is important to note, that, in line with the EU energy model, whatever the buying price of Russian gas, EU companies sell it to downstream to power generators and companies (and therefore to citizens) at spot prices, making super-profits. As a result, generating companies go bankrupt, energy shortages are preprogrammed, and, consequently, prices for regular consumers grow. Yet the EU authorities fail to explain this to citizens.
The fault also lies with the excessively liberal monetary policies of the EU and the US, as well as the enormous post-pandemic injections into Western economies. This has had the effect of spurring inflation and elevating commodity exchange prices. The aggressive implementation of the “European Green Deal” and the prioritization of climate agenda in general have resulted in the oil and gas sector becoming significantly underfunded.
Another key factor of high energy prices is the tide of unilateral Western sanctions as well as persistent speculations regarding possible new anti-Russian restrictive measures in the energy sphere, which have provoked negative expectations in the markets.
The freezing of Russian Central Bank’s foreign exchange reserves, restrictions against PJSC Gazprom’s foreign assets and other elements of the sanctions policy have forced Russian authorities to introduce mechanisms to guarantee that domestic suppliers receive payment for delivered gas from their foreign counterparts. From now on countries that impose illegal restrictive measures against Russia have to pay for gas in rubles. As of 18 May 2022, nearly half of the 54 importing companies from states, classified as unfriendly to Russia, have complied with these requirements. Those who reject them (Bulgaria, Denmark, the Netherlands, Poland and Finland) should stand ready to pay more for supplies from other sources.
Expectations by some EU countries that LNG would quickly substitute Russian pipeline gas are self-deceptive. Global LNG demand will exceed supply in 2022 (436 million tonnes vs. 410 million tonnes), new projects will not become operational until 2024, while current infrastructure will be unable to ramp up production by more than 10.6 million tonnes (15 billion cubic meters) per annum.

"Inflation will cost American households on average an extra $14 a day."
Think about it. An extra $14 a month is $420 a month. Minimum wage in uSA is $7.25 or $1,160 per month, BEFORE TAXES. Average tax withheld on minimum wage is about $200 per month, so actual monthly minimum wage take home pay for 40 hours a week (X 4 weeks) is about $900 a month. INFLATION JUST ATE HALF OF THAT.

The price of U.S. gasoline averaged more than $5 a gallon for the first time on Saturday, data from the AAA showed, extending a surge in fuel costs that is driving rising inflation.
The national average price for regular unleaded gas rose to $5.004 a gallon on June 11 from $4.986 a day earlier, AAA data showed. (Reuters reports)
Americans are now spending $125 million more on gasoline every day than they did a month ago. Inflation will cost American households on average an extra $14 a day
“People should be very concerned. This will ripple through the economy,” said economist Philip K. Verleger Jr., who has analyzed energy markets for more than 50 years.
Every consumer product in the U.S. will be affected by uncontrollable inflation. The real economy crash hasn’t started yet.

Western war criminals decry administration of justice to mercenary war criminals in the DPR. I could see cutting some slack for the Sri Lankan, he's just a punk kid. The Brits both have it coming, and frankly, I think they should get it. Pushilin has said he sees no reason to commute the sentence, and neither do I. We will see if he keeps his word. I am a Russian Orthodox Christian, and I love mercy, but I love justice more, and I don't see these bastards repenting. So, denazify!
