idk if you read the piece, Jack. I go into this dynamic. As did the Nobel Prize winning economist that inspired the piece.
Its a supply and demand thing. Yet everyone only focuses on demand. You said it yourself "the government shutdown the economy which greatly reduced the supply of everything"...getting supply supply chains in order and expanding supply could alleviate inflation yet everyone says the only option is to take money from the poor.
Not to mention even the f*cking Kansas branch of the Fed said "over half" of inflation was price gouging.
We should stop the expanded margins and correct the supply issues. Then see where we are.
Thanks for the read and the words.
