For decades? When are you starting that statement exactly, end of World War 2? Seems like the UK is politically very relevant given the huge quantity of ink spilled over its political decisions in recent years. Note: "relevant" doesn't mean you like what it's doing, just that lots of people care.
The issue here isn't really energy, the issue is the huge economic costs of lockdowns, costs that simply weren't considered at all in the general mass hysteria created by epidemiologists.
- MattPalmer1086 4y agoAre you saying that UK inflation is actually caused by the cost of lockdowns? How does that compare with inflation other countries are also experiencing?
- origin_path 4y agoWell, cost of anti-COVID measures in general, not just lockdowns. Vaccines, masks, mass testing etc is all very expensive. Everywhere printed money like crazy to pay for fighting COVID. Look at graphs of inflation. They are all very similar. They start taking off right at the start of 2021, i.e. just months after governments open the taps to fight COVID and that happens everywhere. Tradingeconomics.com has good graphs to see this.
- MattPalmer1086 4y agoIt seems very plausible that money printing has had an effect on inflation. It also seems likely to me that supply constraints are also working to push up prices. I'm not sure how to disentangle all the different effects, but I'm sure there's more than one cause. It's all interconnected I guess.
