The Tik-Tok venture capitalists are correct, the $600 given to poverty line workers is what causes inflation. Not the billions of dollars of PPP loans forgiven and grossly misused by a majority of recipients.

Quick thread:
I spent the last week figuring how the American far-right became obsessed with "Ukranian biolabs."
I learned two things:
1 — The right really is warming back up to Putin.
2 — The origins of this specific conspiracy theory are dumber than you’d ever imagine.
Fair/valid question, many read this assuming you were questioning giving Ukraine weapons when you were simply wondering how those weapons will be used after this war is over. How do we & other countries ensure they are not going to leave Ukraine in a state of territorial warfare?
The consequences of flooding Ukraine with billion dollars in 🇺🇸 weapons, likely not limited to just military-specific equipment but also including small arms + ammo, are unpredictable & likely disastrous.
Specially when they are given to paramilitary groups w/out accountability.
I was wrong. the russian recognition of eastern ukranian territories as independent and the subsequent russian troop activity in to said regions for "peacekeeping" is 100% an aggressive escalation that absolutely moves away from diplomatic talks. a horrible move.
