The stimulus checks are meaningless and not at all what I mean by "stimulus"
You can tell someone is a layman on the topic if they think "stimulus" refers to stimulus checks. What the gov and the fed did on the backend was so insane in scale, and seemingly few people actually grasp it, swimming in a swamp of "greedflation" and "wage war" articles. They actually think people like me are talking about a few dinky checks...

- Workaccount2 3y agoThere wasn't any more post covid price fixing than pre covid price fixing. This idea that inflation happened because companies got greedy is so hilariously reactionary and uninformed. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/WM2NS https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/WM2NS https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/WALCL https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/WALCL https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/WFRBLN40059 https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/WFRBLN40059 Just look at those charts and then tell me how "price fixing" drove inflation more than "tons of cash in consumers pockets". No shit companies jacked prices, consumers where stacked with cash.
