@difox5731 You do get that the rule of capitalism about demand and all isn't natural? Just because demand rises doesn't mean that the price has to. The price rises because capitalism is a system of greed and when the demand is higher you can exploit this. That's it, nothing else. Example, if you don't understand: When you are not thirsty, you are likely not willing to pay 1000$ for a bottle of water. When you are thirsty, you may think about it, but it is still to expensive, you would pay a higher price, though. When you are thirsty and there is only one bottle of water and many other people who are thirsty too, you will go even higher. And if everyone is thirsty and dying of thirst, those 1000$ are quickly a thing that is paid for it with ease... That's the principle of capitalism: brutal exploitation.

Export nations profit from a low value currency. It's only a problem if you want to import. Guess what happened to the import of Russia from western nations. ;)

Oh, they know what is happening: It's PR bullshit to trick the masses to exploit them. That's the whole point of it. Nothing new.
