    I’m not conceding shit lol. You made up like half the shit you claim, and you don’t understand any of the underlying issues at play.

    You came in here acting like a dick, and people treated you like what you are - and underinformed person who is aggressive about a position they cannot defend.

    I didn’t make up any straw men. If you’re upset with how people respond to you, consider not insulting everyone right from the jump

    As I said above

    So you’re saying that the sole cause of inflation worldwide is the COVID stimulus checks? Or even that this is the primary driver?

    This is an insane claim.

    And I was asking for clarity about this

    All this inflation we’re seeing now is due to 3 stimmy checks from 2020

    Which is provably false

      Yeah, right. Your ego is eating you alive it’s becoming funny.

      You made up like half the shit you claim

      Yet you got a paper proving my point, and the best you got is that I’m “exaggerating”. Good on you. I’m still right.

      If you’ve come here and said “it’s not 100%, it’s 50%”, I would never have argued with you. But because you know I’m right, you had to use a straw man. See? This is how you detect disingenuous people who aren’t here to learn or be honest, but are here to assert their dumb, impractical political agendas. No matter how you turn it, stimulus fucked the US economy. Period.

        I didn’t come here and say shit. I called you out on an incorrect and inflammatory statement.

        Also you’d be wrong in your 50% scenario too because it’s more like 30.

        No matter how you turn it, stimulus fucked the US economy.

        Genuinely would love to see your proof that the potential damage of doing nothing is worse than two years of inflation.

          Easy. Hire me as your president, then I’ll do that job.

          What a joke! Now because I’m right, it’s my job (apparently) to argue with you for another few hours about a potential plan that no one gives a shit about for an imaginary scenario. It took me hours to make you admit a truth you already know. Imagine how long it’ll take to make you learn something new you never heard of. Yeah… no thanks. Have a good day. Mission accomplished.

            You’re not grasping reality. You’re just ignoring what people say and spouting unearned arrogance
