I am really getting tired of seeing people complain about inflation. There are reasons for prices being higher. The Pandemic disrupted the world economy making a lot of things scarce. Developed economies around the world spent a lot of (borrowed) money to keep things from crashing. Remember getting the check with Trump’s signature on it? Even before that Republicans stoked a straw fire with their tax cut for the rich to fire up the already recovering US economy anticipating the 2020 election. Then there is world over population causing more scarcity. Oh, and there’s Putin’s war in the Ukraine as if we didn’t have enough disruption. Boo-hoo, you have to pay $5 for a gallon of gas.
