People who gave serious skepticism and warnings over Tulsi and Yang (especially Tulsi) & got heaps of shit for it. I'd say I feel vindicated for it, but if I had to guess, I'm sure the same thing will just happen again in 2024 or 2028. From what I've seen, people are generally too dense to read between the lines in politics. If Pete Buttigieg never made an early neoliberal heel turn in the 2020 primary, I bet even more people would've bought into his snake oil campaign - he was initially saying all the right things, but if you read between the lines, there was something off about him, same exact issue with Tulsi and Yang, except they didn't show their true colors until long after the primary ended. In regards to Tulsi, she supported torture before the 2020 primary, that was all I ever needed to hear.

@CribNotes "Covid shut down the global economy in 2020" - The last time any big spending bill was passed was over a year ago & the first relief package happened 2 months after COVID "shut down the global economy", so you're point doesn't even make sense by your own logic. Strange how we didn't see inflation until 2 years after the first relief package was passed and over a year since any relief was given to Americans. And no, it's not just a "bigger factor", it's the primary factor. Almost all economists point to supply chain issues, surging demand, and production costs as the main culprits - basically everything I just listed in my last comment. Pointing fingers at a relief package from over a year ago is purely a political stance, not a deep dive into the real cause or an analysis based on what's actually happening with our economy. I've explained the flow of logic on how the supply chain crisis and similar issues are causing inflation, but in response you just tell me I'm crazy cause it's 'obviously' big gov't spending. Why don't you try to explain how that even makes sense. You think big gov't spending = more money being printed = inflation, but that's such a juvenile and naïve view on how one of the largest economies in the world functions. The US has been printing more and more of its money for years, but it never matters because the US controls its own currency. If over-spending was such a huge concern for the US, they wouldn't have been doing it for decades, especially under Republican presidencies who prominently and openly have way higher deficit spending than Democratic presidents (this is a fact). Besides, if you're going to point the finger at any ludicrous amounts of gov't spending, you should've looked at how the Trump administration was handling the initial impact of COVID and how the Federal Reserve, at one point, was pumping 1 Trillion a day into the stock market to keep it afloat, nevermind the meager relief checks sent out a whopping 3 times total, to everyone who pays, on average, 2-3x more on taxes for that year the checks were sent out. However, that's besides the point, because none of that even phases the US economic system anymore, so why would it now? Coincidentally at the moment when we're 100% seeing real issues with the supply chain, a lack of goods like computer chips that are needed to build even more goods like tech devices, computer parts and cars. In addition, you can literally track how retail stores like Walmart and others are raising their prices simply because online goods are at a higher price and higher demand. You see, these are real factors that can be manually tracked and analyzed. All you're stating are political biases and unproven theories about gov't spending.
