Another "czar". That earthquake you're feeling is Julius Cesar turning in his grave at 10k RPM.

Spoiler alert: it means absolutely nothing. Inflation will continue to happen until the end of time. Stack sats.

Both words. Czar because of the Russian connection and affordability. I doubt its price fixing but it sure doesn't sound like free market.
Neither party can really shed themselves of central planning and socialism. IMO that's why we have so many young people that like socialism.

Yeah, but czar is such a cool sounding name. I would like to be czar of something.
