You're cherry picking the peak (literally the peak) of the covid relief though! People got huge checks in the first half of 2020, do you not remember? Why would you do that? You can see it's an outlier, growing rapidly then shrinking. Look at Q4 2019 to get pre-covid numbers and you'll see (1) there's a clear trend across the disruption and (2) it's clearly going up.
