That's what we need. Another czar.

Bread and circuses (Panem et circenses)

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.

What a title... sounds very socialist to me.

I know, right?

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.

It's pretty simple, just deregulate.

The tricky part is superseding local control

Fair. In those cases they probably need to threaten to withhold federal funding from states and localities that don't get on board.

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

You are the Animal Czar

Finally.
