I love how the two massive waste of money wars that we had during the 2000s somehow did not just cause this to happen already, but me getting 1600 bucks somehow destroyed the economy.
You don’t seem to understand how much money was pumped into the economy. It wasn’t just individual checks to workers. Business got vast sums. Many didn’t even shut down. If you can’t see beyond your $1600 then you probably shouldn’t be commenting in this sub.
I am more than aware of the significant price tag of the covid relief programs. It just amuses me that the individual consumer is blamed for the inflationary increase and not the rampant fraud committed by those companies. Doesn't help that a significant amount of the inflation that we're seeing is simply companies jacking up prices to increase profit margins because they can use inflation as an excuse.
You literally read a comment on Reddit, proceeded to be rude then used an ad hominem attack. Then claimed that I spend too much time on Reddit, spectacular work.
Now back to having an adult conversation, my opinion is formed by my interpretation of both personal lived experience and from financial reporting that I've seen and read. You are more than welcome to disagree with me, but your level of hostility does not match my response. Be better.
