Well you print more money to pay for things that leads to inflation, nothing new.

The stimulus checks was basically giving us all our own money to blow knowing we were going to have to pay it all back with intrest.

But really what's going on with inflation is we are paying for covid and the war in Ukraine. The big corporations didn't lose money during covid just like they didn't lose money during the financial crisis in fact they made money.

American citizens have been going downhill in terms of earnings and property. It started in the 70s after Vietnam, keep going in the 80s and 90s, then in 2001 it started to really pick up steam we had wars in Afghanistan iraq, then we had the whole economic crash, slow economic recovery, more wars in Middleeast, then we had Covid. Now we have the war in Ukraine driving up food prices and oil prices.

It's like if ordainary American citizens were on a ladder and we are all getting knocked down a rung on the ladder each time shit happens and the 1%ers are climbing up 3 rungs every time.

Seems to be a real push to return America to where it was pre 1900. Citizens that own nothing and will work for nothing.

yeah well. all these "covidiods" saw it coming. it was blatantly obvious. but the sheep were blinded by fear. and the most ironic part is now i even see them blaming the "anti-vaxxers" for the inflation xD the stupidity doesn't end.

I’m not sure how anybody could call this a conspiracy theory because this was bound to happen. Printing money causes inflation.

The people calling others conspiracy theorists, who not only followed the Covid orders but also passionately argued for them, siding with the ruling class, unless they’re complete idiots which I’m sure some of them are, are just shameless liars. They knew this was gonna happen, they know the cause, they lie. I’m not sure why though, unless they’re being paid they don’t gain anything from it.
