Amid past warnings of starvation and “Hell on Earth” migrant crises over a lack of food, the international finance body has predicted that growth across the world will be negatively affected, with poorer nations in particular to feel the brunt of the ongoing crisis.

“Even before the war, inflation in many countries had been rising due to supply-demand imbalances and policy support during the pandemic, prompting a tightening of monetary policy,” the piece continues. “In this context, beyond its immediate and tragic humanitarian impact, the war will slow economic growth and increase inflation.”

“Furthermore, increases in food and fuel prices may also significantly increase the prospect of social unrest in poorer countries,” it goes on to read. “Central banks will need to adjust their policies decisively to ensure that medium- and long-term inflation expectations remain anchored.”

My Cannon T65 Gunsafe is 6ft tall x 5ft wide x 3ft deep. It can hold 40 rifles/shotguns on the left side, and has 4 shelves on the right side.

You’re so right.
It’s so infiltrated and diluted now, it almost doesn’t even look like it did 30yrs ago. I can’t imagine what it’ll look like in another 20yrs.
