That’s not really the case. The money printer has been running since 2008. This was always going to happen, Covid just made it worse.

Most of the current inflation is price gouging/profiteering. House just released a report on it.

The money printer has been working since 1913 if we are going to be pedantic. The 2020 lockdowns set the printers on fire.

Price gouging has always been a partisan claim and I have no interest in wasting my time on that item. You can do you / reddit can do what reddit does there, no value in spending time on that topic.

I’m not being pedantic. They never solved the issue in 2008. Cans were kicked.

I don’t really see how price gouging is a partisan topic when it’s demonstrably true that profits are sky high.

Ina withering 10% inflation environment, 'profit' isn't what you think it is.

Can I get you a cracker?

Look up how much of our $$ was printed since covid started. Facts speak for themselves. It’s not an argument.
