Covid was the catalyst, without it you don’t get the economy shutting down which means you don’t get trillions in stimulus/safety net spending or the supply chain disruptions or widespread labor shortages which means you don’t get a surge in inflation when things open back up which means you don’t get a massive increase in interest rates or corporations using inflation as a cover to raise prices beyond what was necessary. As for your original statement about people saying they were better off 4 years ago, people are stupid and don’t know what they are talking about. 4 years ago was 2020, we were in the worst pandemic in over a century which killed millions of people and forced the economy to shutdown. People had to quarantine, people lost their jobs, businesses closed down, kids couldn’t go to school, poverty increased, food insecurity increased, crime increased. It was also the year of George Floyd protests/riots, the most significant civil unrest since the 60s. How were people better off four years ago? |
While I will concede that most of inflation is covid related in some form including most of your examples, Putin invading Ukraine and America's open border are not.
That would be a great retort if that was my original statement.
You couldn't even be bothered to look at it before sperging about how stupid people are.
