Among all the global crises, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine dominated the day, with heads of state addressing the violence of the conflict, the chaos in supply chains, the soaring energy prices and the other ripple effects of the war.

“We cannot go on like this,” U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres said in opening remarks to the assembly. “We have a duty to act. And yet we are gridlocked in colossal global dysfunction.”
 
Regarding inflation in U.S.....I think it was a Bloomberg story a short while ago which put it as the governments expansionist fiscal policy being the cause. Someone correct this if wrong, but if that is the case it sounds to me like business are retaliating to government putting the squeeze on them by taxes or duties? I've read somewhere the 'king' looks at his subjects as sponges and when he needs a little more juice he just squeezes them a bit more. Maybe like Solomon?
 
I think you are right, it looks like we are in for a rough patch for the next seven years. I do suspect that we will see a good number of people die during this time, probably around 4 billion.

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon is not committing to divesting from fossil fuels and shrugged off the notion as a "road to hell for America" during a House hearing.

At an Oversight Committee hearing Wednesday, Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) pressed a cadre of banking executives sitting before the investigatory panel on whether they would commit to stop funding new fossil fuel projects.
 
As of 2016, 900,000 people worked in the fossil fuel sector in the US alone.
That is a large part of the work force. High paying jobs. Would be devastating to the economy.
Go for it Democrats!
