It absolutely is, that’s why the article is using percentages and not dollar amounts

Going from $1 to $2 is a 100% increase but you’re still fucking broke afterwards, and the guy whose $1,000 only grew by 1% still made 10 times more money than you lol

Maybe instead of spending all their money murdering Ukrainians they should be trying to create a country where the leading cause of death for young men isn’t alcoholism

Maybe invading Ukraine is how they're trying to change the leading cause of death for young men.
