This must be regional, because I haven’t observed a marked spike in prices around here. Groceries cost around the same they did a year ago.

The checks didn’t cause inflation. Shutting down the economy and then restarting it did. Prices need to readjust, jobs are being created at a rapid speed, etc all these things are impacting inflation. People getting three checks from the government has nothing to do with it.

Im not arguing against the shut down. It needed to be done. But the rapid economic improvement since then has juiced the economy in quite a wild way. Which is a good thing of course…but these prices have to go down.
breh, we printed 3 trillion unbacked dollars in under 2 years :dead: can we agree that that added to inflation? it's not a partisan talking point. like i said, i took and spent every free check they threw at me

my first two checks came from trump, so blame the republicans for all i care. it was just a terrible fukkin scenario all around

Coli Capitalists are crabs in a barrel type muthafukkas. They only want token c00ns at white collar jobs to get 6 figures. Forget about a blue collar worker making 100k per year, they think that anyone besides the #6Certs gang deserve to make minimum wage.

Ok, then, I’ll use the start of the pandemic. Prices are around the same. I mostly shop at Whole Foods, and I haven’t noticed a change.

Trump doesn’t deserve blame either, he did the right thing. Printing money in of itself doesn’t cause inflation. We print a shyt ton of money all the time. Again the problem was that large portions of the economy were closed, and then when we re-opened we had insane jobs numbers, people returning to buying things, products being produced again etc that it went off the rails.

It sucks and is clearly hurting people but…the economy is roaring back and long term that’s a good thing. Hopefully next year these prices drop.
