It used to take an hour to get to Boston from Boston, but with inflation, it's now 2-1/2.

Lol well played, this guy knows inflation applies to public transit travel times too

Except Watertown isn’t Boston, it’s the next town over. And Logan is across yet another river almost in Winthrop. That’s like saying getting from New York to New York takes 2 hours but you’re going from Staten Island to Manhattan

Is this all post COVID? I've flown out of Logan and back about a dozen times and never had an issue getting to and from the airport. I can't say I've ever traveled during rush hour, but these days rush hour feels like it lasts from 6AM to 10AM and 2PM to 6PM.

I would usually take the silver line too, it wasn't really that much of a hassle. I haven't traveled since December 2019 though.

Post?

Almost 4000 people died from SARS-CoV-2 last week alone.

We're very much NOT "post covid"

I feel like in context the question was clearly post the beginning of COVID.
