    Wait, am I hearing that stimmy DID affect inflation? lol! I’m happy you’re conceding at least.

    Whether it’s third or half, doesn’t really matter. You can calibrate your factors depending on your model to get many different results and the truth will never be known, because all models and wrong and some models are useful. The point here is: I’m right, and stimmy checks caused inflation like you just admitted. Period. Stop arguing over nothing! And stop making straw mans to facilitate attacks on my point like you did two comments ago. Grow up!

      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

                I think people like you have such a huge ego that they don’t want to see themselves proven wrong, not even partially. Discussions with you is a waste of time.

                This forum is communist to the bones, and even though you needed a paper to partially validate my claim but in reality only to add other reasons to my claim, not a single person who talked here started with “yes, I see your point. Stimmy was a huge contributer, but I think X is also responsible”. So, spare me your bullshit on reality. I do have a grasp on reality alright, but you are a bunch of heavily brainwashed plebs who just want an excuse to blame greeeeeeeeeeeed… because you’re losers who want communism. Excuse me for seeing you as nothing but parasites. I will never take anyone in this forum seriously before seeing a huuuuuuge sign of talking in good faith. Haven’t seen that yet. You all have rotten agendas that you care about more than anything you would do in good faith. Fix that, then bullshit me about reality. Don’t bullshit a bullshitter. Class dismissed.

        I didn’t say that only one thing is true, and I don’t even have to. I’m not required to specify every fucking single reason. I made a correct case, so, in that spirit, go fuck yourself.
