No shit, texas probably prints money with those oil prices, he is just following the will of his treatlerite voters and porkies

i am a little bit confused what goes on in kenya, because i saw passing news they have decided a week break to riots, but then apparently protests persist?

Nyeri Polytechnic students are on strike against the anti people policies of this neocolonial regime. The masses are refusing to starve in silence while comprador elites auction the future of the youth to imperialism. Organise. Resist. Fight back.

africa reporting everywhere is abysmal, can't find shit

who is protesting? why are students and unions both protesting? what are the demands? who leads the protests? like obviously sourcing from kenyan commies would say its broad class working class movement aiming to overthrow the government, while libs would say it's cost of living crisis (tm)

NAIROBI, May 22 (Reuters) - Kenyan public transport operators called off a strike that ‌was due to resume next week after President William Ruto announced on Friday that the government would cut diesel prices by more than 4%. Public transporters staged a two-day strike this week against the rise in fuel prices in the wake of the Iran war. That brought economic activity in the capital Nairobi to a standstill, and devolved into clashes between protesters and police that left ⁠four people dead and about 30 injured. In a televised speech on Friday, Ruto said he had directed that the cost of diesel be cut by 10 Kenyan shillings ($0.0772) per litre in the June-July pricing cycle to provide additional relief to consumers. The government, which each month sets a maximum fuel retail price that marketing companies can charge customers, last week hiked diesel prices by 23.5% to 242.92 Kenyan shillings a litre for the May-June pricing cycle, but reduced them by 10 shillings on Monday in response to the strike.

this is, in essence, what i saw a couple of days ago (tax cut on fuel and stop of strike)
