WTO has voting proportional to how much countries have "bought in" or something, with 75% needed for most decisions. Since it's creation USA has held more than 25% of the voting share.

Trump tariffs could push US inflation to 4% this year, warns top Fed official in c/news@hexbear.net

[–] zyberlex@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 2 weeks ago

For fucks sake inflation is when BOTH prices and wages go up and the value of existing money goes down.

When JUST prices go up it's called a "crisis" or "failure of the system" or "gross incompetence" or take your pick

Best (preferably offline) HTML viewer? Minimal resources? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[–] zyberlex@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago

FWIW "just displaying html" is one of those can of worms type problems that looks easy enough to start making but actually impossible to do fully correct.

You want something thats doing a WebView, so if not a Firefox then maybe one of the lighter weight ones like Falkon or Gnome Web etc.
