one of the reasons they’re shifting spending habits is the money that the feds dumped into the economy.

when you drastically increase the supply of something, you run the fish of decreasing the value of that something. that holds true for the supply/value of dollars.

you have this happening at the same time that we’re incentivizing people not to work, which exacerbates the supply of goods and services chokehold.
