Entkuppler
Wo es Verkuppler gibt, müssen auch die Entkuppler (Scheidungsanwälte?) nicht weit sein. Doch genug gestusst, worauf ich eigentlich heraus will:

Das Leben wird teurer
a 4-pint bottle of milk has gone up 16.5% in the United Kingdom. The price of milk from the farm has soared nearly three times as much – 45.8%. Or take bread. Wheat is up 56.9% over the last year. But a loaf of bread has only gone up only 8.5%. Crude oil is 62% more expensive today than it was a year ago. But a can of oil…or petroleum products generally, at the retail level…are up only 25.4%.

And the war itself is expected to cost the nation $1 trillion or more. For all its efforts, the United States secured the most expensive energy in world history.
China, meanwhile, decided to take the capitalist road. Instead, of using military force to get oil, it simply bought it on the open market. […]
