If we can verb nouns, we can noun adjectives!

I think it started with people saying "I would like to (do something very illegal) to (some person) in Minecraft." Thinking that saying "in Minecraft" would shield them from any repercussions because they only wanted to do it in a simulated environment. Eventually some people would just shorten it to things like "...in Minecraft" and leave the obvious part unsaid.
If you want to know how bad we're being fucked, search for the PPI, the producer price index. CPI, the one we always hear about, is the measure of inflation to us, the consumer. The PPI is the measure of inflation to producers, what they pay for goods and services to produce the goods and services we buy.
The PPI has been back to "normal" for a while now. Pretty much as soon as the post COVID logistics issues were mostly ironed out. The difference between PPI and CPI changes is pure profit.
We don't get daily articles on the PPI though, I wonder why.
Edit: tell people about PPI whenever you can, online or off, the more people know, the better. It's easy enough to say inflation is just down to greed but being able to back it up by comparing two simple charts will help people really understand.
Vilnius is fucking amazing. I really enjoyed my visit to the three Baltic nations recently. I'm glad I got there before all this started kicking off.
Coincidentally, I hope, several places I've visited in the last 15-20 years have become sketchy to travel to for one reason or another within a year or two after my visit. Maybe I should just stay home for the good of the world.
