Finessing y’all.

What direct costs does he even have that would rise enough for him to implement a $5 increase?

Shhhhh.....finessing is called "inflation" to TLR.

These dudes justify greed and legal robbery, but call it "inflation"

I was paying $75+ for monthly loc retwists 6+years ago before I said forget it and learned to do it decent on my own. So y'all paying $35+ for a cut and $20 for a lineup on rotating weeks now?

Prices for goods may go back down but not services

A lot of people gave Republicans shyt for their stance about the stimulus bread, but they weren't entirely wrong. I know it's an unpopular opinion around here to say, but not everybody was struggling during the pandemic and actually came better than they did prior. Even a lot of US states ended up better financially than they originally expected and their budgets weren't blown up.

Depending on the industry that you worked in, it was still business as usual and some of us actually saved bread WFH all of these months. So you legit had half the country struggling, while other people were people fine. For the latter people, they didn't necessarily need the stimulus check as they were going spend the extra income that they had once things started to reopen. It's a difference between someone needing something and could use it.

Even now, a lot of states still have a lot of the COVID-19 stimulus bread left over with no COVID-19 shyt to use it on. That's how a lot of states had the extra bread to offer those insane COVID-19 incentives to get people vaccinated. That's why I don't blame them for saying give back the COVID-19 funds you didn't use and we'll distribute them elsewhere.

I’d say more of the inflation came from fraud in the form of corporations receiving billions in aid and the extreme transfer of wealth to the 1% during the pandemic

One real crisis with inflation and they are going to try and do away with the current financial system. The elites don't want to lose power so they will force a new system on everybody to make sure they can stay in control.
