What about pausing rent payments but not mortgages?  What about the ridiculous unemployment benefits where states just printed cash to offset everyone who lost work due to absurd Covid shutdowns.  

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again:

Inflation is a direct result of piss poor policies by our world leaders during Covid.  Not just in the USA but the world.  

Shutting down businesses and then printing money to cover ignorant shutdown policies is how we got here.  

You can (fairly) fault both parties as it takes both to pass legislation but we all know who was pushing back at the time and who was the loudest proponent of injecting trillions of dollars worldwide into the economy.

You brought up businesses, and I'm just saying that covid was a small blip on the 40+ year mission we've had as a nation to slant the playing field towards the rich.  There are reasons a lot of regular people who work hard and should in theory be able to survive a shutdown were in financial ruin after a few weeks or months.  But it doesn't matter because we've decided as a nation to just say that anyone who is in financial ruin other than us did so willingly and deserves it.

If republicans actually improved the lives of people they wouldn't need to spend so much time convincing the public that people are poor because they choose to be.

Covid?  Meh, just an accelerant to further emphasize the widening gap between the "haves" and the "have nots" and the fact that so many people are suggesting we run right back to the political party that will continue to do all they can to make sure Wal Mart and Amazon employ all of us, shows we're complicit.

If you had a rough time during covid, that blows.  I have a bunch of student loan debt, sucks to be me.  We both followed the wrong rainbow and now it's time to get up, dust ourselves off, and work for someone who was born into wealth.  Now that's some cynicism.
