And at the same time the retards in government forced production of goods to shut down for no good reason.
We still have nearly 100 container ships floating off the coast of CA waiting to be unloaded.
But the union is only working 1 shift and non-union are not allowed on the docks.
Plus SF just passed a law that these container ships cannot sit in the bay..they must now go out to sea and wait.
Then you have CA truck ruling that won't let older trucks drive in the state.
You think those factors aren't playing into shortages ?

Of course they are. ALL products of GOVERNMENT regulation and/or incompetence.
The Government screws up everything it touches. It should stop touching stuff.
The main reason for inflation was the shift from services to goods spending due to COVID lockdowns. Biden hasn't helped with his naive energy policy, and neither has the Fed.
Well sure. But this is how you fight the negative economic effects of the Pandemic. Supports, moneys, low interest rates.
Coming out of the Pandemic - as we hope to be doing right now - IMO, and I said this 1 and 2 years ago - inflation would be almost a given as people and business resume normalcy.
And then of course the War.
It may be that Putin had to wait on his War until the Pandemic mitigated. You can't fight a War, or shouldn't fight a War, with an ongoing Pandemic. There would not be a zero chance that your troops could be paralyzed. Past epidemics and the military have been known bedfellows.

Well we certainly didn't let the 1918 pandemic change our policies for WWI.
There's been something called covid. It's caused prices to go up worldwide. You should listen to the people in England complain about the high price of gas (petrol) for their cars. They're really upset about the high cost of heating oil too. Covid has practically turned our world upside down and you can't blame one person for it. Maybe a country far away that dropped the ball, but not one leader of a country.
All I am saying is you can't blame it all on one person. Maybe blame it on China >> covid >> reactions to covid >> people who reacted one way or another. On and on the blame goes. Around and around we go but there is NOT one person, not Biden, not Trump, not Putin, who is solely responsible for inflation. Maybe it's people's fears of shortages, who knows? We're living in strange times.
Prices started going up the day Joe took office. I know gas sure did and he forced me into a EV a year ago this weekend. You guys seen nothing yet. Prices are gonna be the last thing we need to worry about when old Joe gets us in a nuke war. If another gnat farts gas is gonna go $7+ a gal pal.

As POTUS, it's Biden's job to know that ****ting on POTUS is a national sport and being shat on comes with the territory.
Also. If you don't want people ****ting on you, then don't be **** at your job.
