I really enjoyed the show, but holy hell the eggregious mispronounciations of Romanian names kept throwing me lol. I legitimately didn’t even register some of them the first time I watched it and thought they were referring to fictitious names because of how far off they were. Some of them I can understand, but Țepeș??? It’s literally the main character lol.

We actually VERY briefly had tripartism in the US, too. Unsurprisingly it was immediately attacked and dismantled.

No, I’m extremely heavily laden with debt and barely getting by in one of the most expensive areas of the country, but good try. I get that the CPI isn’t perfect, but there is literally no data from any source indicating that we have experienced 400% price increases, generally speaking, in the last 10 years. You’re just going on vibes, selective memory, and anecdotes and you’re giving ammunition to fascists who try to discredit us by pointing to people like you and saying “see? These people have no tether to reality. Look at any actual statistics and you’ll see they’re wrong.” People like you make us look bad and made uninformed people incorrectly believe that both sides of the political divide are lying and living in their own delusional reality. Do better.

It’s not a little bit of hyperbole, I literally linked to a calculator that uses the Consumer Price Index. OP’s claim isn’t even vaguely in the realm of the actual consumer price increase.

The cost of bread, toilet paper, and restaurant meals for the average American may have increased significantly more than $5 -> $6.85, but I promise it hasn’t literally quadrupled. Things are unacceptably bad but this isn’t Turkey yet. Do you have any indication that for the average American the average purchased good has quadrupled in ten years? The responses here are almost as unhinged as the takes over in MAGA world. This is insane.

Yeah except that’s not even close to true. $5 in December 2015 is worth $6.85 in December 2025 (the most recent data available).

You people are out of your fucking minds if you don’t think Șor is guilty of impressive amounts of political corruption. I get that campism is just human nature but come on, this is maybe the worst iteration of this argument you guys could make.

A quarter of emissions is nothing? Yeah the overwhelming majority is attributable to major oil companies, but you’re just being lazy and fatalistic. But sure, just sit there and wait for a paradigm shift to come save you from yourself I guess. Literally the first two search results I found:

Also they calculated the cost of lawsuits like that and decided they would make more money selling it that hot than they would lose in lawsuits over how hot the coffee was.
