What a surprise that is!
In all the threads and commentary I made during the pandemic ad nauseum...
Why do you think the leftest elites in power desperately wanted this thing to go on forever and forever?
They were insider trading like mad! Ask Pelosi. She's the queen of insider trading loopholes.

Rich gon get richer, po gon get po'er. Midda class might be no more.
I suppose you also blame the left for bad weather, a hangnail you might get and cloudy days.
I prefer to follow the science not make everything political and the fault of the left.

It is their fault for creating this mess.
Ruined business. Supply chain problems.... it goes on and on.
All while they made billions for themselves and ran off to their isolated luxury islands.
Their thoroughly not conservative solutions to the problem:
- "Introduce one-off solidarity taxes on billionaires’ pandemic windfalls to fund support for people facing rising food and energy costs and a fair and sustainable recovery from COVID-19. Argentina adopted a one-off special levy dubbed the ‘millionaire’s tax’ and is now considering introducing a windfall tax on energy profits as well as a tax on undeclared assets held overseas to repay IMF debt. The super-rich have stashed nearly $8 trillion in tax havens.
- End crisis profiteering by introducing a temporary excess profit tax of 90 percent to capture the windfall profits of big corporations across all industries. Oxfam estimated that such a tax on just 32 super-profitable multinational companies could have generated $104 billion in revenue in 2020.
- Introduce permanent wealth taxes to rein in extreme wealth and monopoly power, as well as the outsized carbon emissions of the super-rich. An annual wealth tax on millionaires starting at just 2 percent, and 5 percent on billionaires, could generate $2.52 trillion a year —enough to lift 2.3 billion people out of poverty, make enough vaccines for the world, and deliver universal healthcare and social protection for everyone living in low- and lower middle-income countries."
The elimination of these possibilities is a major teaching of my Faith.

You sound just like Jesus.
Every major event creates opportunities and threats, and there will always be people who can find ways to profit from the opportunities, and people who will fall prey to the threats.
If I recall, most of the world's religions tell you what you ought to do in these situations -- but as I observe, most of the world ignores all of that religious advice.
Strange, eh?
