Yeah, but if you... man, we're getting into weird analogy territory, like if you disintegrated Superman's arms he wouldn't be able to go "fool! Little did you know that my arms and I are one and can be remade from me!" and will his arms back into being from pure nothingness. - Pendaran

Honestly, at this point, who knows?
I mean if you looked up the definition of the word ‘truss’ in the dictionary, it would basically be a floppy, beige object that serves no other purpose than to support a Johnson, so it’s very apropos.
Well, the good news is, she can't force inflation into double figures because it's pretty much there already.
The bad news is she could make things a lot worse.
In personal terms, unless things go exceptionally sideways, my household and I should be just about okay as long as our landlords don't get skittish and our energy bills only go up by like 100% or so. That's just about manageable, our rent is very cheap and I have a pretty low cost lifestyle and no dependents to worry about.
As a country?
Well, the most pointed statistic at the moment is that the energy cap, ridiculously high though it is, only applies to households. Business are exempt and are seeing absolutely insane rises in the cost of energy, as are schools, care homes and hospitals which is... you know.. extremely bad and will see people die.
From a perspective of British psychology, reports are that 7 out of 10 pubs will not survive the winter without serious government intervention. Given how supine and unwilling to mobilise the certain quarters of the country are, I think this is the one thing that cut through all political lines and unite people toward genuine action; the loss of the pub.
I am only like 25% joking on this. Pub culture is unironically hugely important to British culture and identity. Communities will be very, very angry about this if it comes to pass.
Massive tax breaks to the rich while spouting about trickle-down economics (something that has never, ever worked) is kind of a conservative thing in any country. -_-
Sorry you guys are going through this.

Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence.

Sounds pretty terrible. What I've heard secondhand through people talking about it/podcasts has thrown up some pretty alarming numbers wrt to things like cost to operate gas and average salary/paycheck and I'm sure if I went looking for it I could find a lot more specifically worse things.
Best of luck

seems to be a case of one character just has appeared in a ton more media than the other and thus has far more feats to draw on in Death Battle's silly everything counts format

Black Adam vs Apocalypse and expect Jobocalyspe is gonna job per normal
Also the new Rick and Morty season started and the first episode is raising some multiversal existential questions that make my head hurt

Well, that's far more dire than I would've expected. Though I suppose in a way it's not... Entirely unsurprising given the level of parity between US, and UK in terms of right wing political incompetence.
Most certainly hoping for the best for you all, and if the Great Pub Dieoff does come to pass, hopefully it'll compel the Brisith people to act in a similar fashion to Americans response to the fall of Roe v. Wade.
And hoping even more hoping it happens before things enter the 'much worse' scenario.

SPY X FAMILY: Nice end to that little filler arc. Not gonna lie though, they totally had me in the first part even though I should've known better.
My Hero Academia: Still kinda whatever about the Bakugo stuff. But I'm loving that the true petulant and hate-filled Shigaraki is finally showing himself.
Jujutsu Kaisen: I am cool with Maki getting some kind of psychological power up through training. But I am less cool with it being because of a couple of randos popping up from basically nowhere.
Black Clover: It is time for the series final training arc. Probably in Yami's home country.
What do you mean Dark?
You're not a fan of pep-talk-Sumo guy? That will established character that was introduced last chapter?
Not really no. And this idea that Maki never had a mentor to unlock her full potential has a bit of a lacklustre presentation. But that might be an intended joke, not sure.
The joke worked better when Maki decimated the Zenin clan seconds after they all got these really dramatic introductions.
