So no it’s not. Chicken/egg implies causation. All you have is correlation.

EPI is a sus source to link cuz it’s very left leaning in its bias. Probably why they essentially ignore or failed to mention record demand levels. Which would correlate and in many cases cause record profits. With or without an inflationary environment.

What causes record demand?

And you've linked nothing.

I’m not making the point that needs sourcing lol. Also not sure how linking something is a validation if anything. If you link garbage it just makes you sound silly

But here since you like links enough to make a pointless passive aggressive comment. And clearly have nothing substantive to add to the discussion.

Appreciate that I'm not the only one that sees the hypocrisy in reddit echo chambers. That being said do disagree slightly on the first part, think the initial response was warranted until we had more data and vaccines. After that we should have opened up quicker.
