It absolutely is, that’s why the article is using percentages and not dollar amounts

Going from $1 to $2 is a 100% increase but you’re still fucking broke afterwards, and the guy whose $1,000 only grew by 1% still made 10 times more money than you lol

Maybe instead of spending all their money murdering Ukrainians they should be trying to create a country where the leading cause of death for young men isn’t alcoholism

Good point, now they can purchase more vodka and Iranian missiles that occasionally actually work lol

Maybe invading Ukraine is how they're trying to change the leading cause of death for young men.
