I'm not able to pin down the one-screen text on my mobile device without the page forcing me to go to the next one-screen text. This problem reminds me of https://motherfuckingwebsite.com/.

To the content:

Don't count on IEA's reports, they are just as subject to propaganda as any other media.

"When the world pays more, our grain can simply leave, so the price at home has to match" Not a fact.

At the moment as I see it some warmongers want really to escalate the situation to outright war between NATO and Russia so don't pay attention to Tusks words or any of the hawks from USA.

Arguably it leaves room for people that DO NOT profit from nepotism and generational wealth when the "best and brightest" leave. A lot of important people don't even filter into "best and brightest", while people acclaimed with this title are sometimes completely useless.

You are right. I came to HN with the desire to make some usefulness out of me, and found the means to do so by policing around, pointing out to the guidelines, flagging random posts, and generally be obnoxious. All with the purpose to raise the standards rather than drag them down on this site. But it turns out I lived long enough to become the villain and if I look now in the mirror I see the very thing I was trying to battle.
