The rightoids have abused the award system to protect themselves from losing arguments for too long.
The rightoid powers of this community, as dim as they might be are unified behind one cause: the destruction of our values and the nullification of free expression, when that expression contradicts their deranged fantasies.
The admin team has fired a warning shot across the hull of the rightoid blob. I have been made immune to awards.
Be warned future action is planned should rightoids continue to debase our community.

You are claiming it was an insignificant part. And that 0.5% CPI increase is from just one of the spending packages. It doesnt take in to account the other cash injecting measures.

The studies done have not shown any of the stimulus to be a large percentage or current American inflation, let alone global.

If your 0.5 figure for the one stimulus package is correct and we're at 7% inflation (vs the nornal 2%) then yeah 0.5 is 10% of the difference. That's significant.
Post degrees and income so I know I'm not wasting time on a poor r-slur (high probability)

There was inflation in 2020, not deflation. You probably shouldnt use words you dont know the meaning of

There was deflation in many sectors of the economy.
For example travel.

do you know how inflation works?
You still have to factor in the deflation in sectors when talking about "above normal inflation"

I do. I'm not sure you do though tbh. Every economist in the country has said the spending bills add to inflation. There's debate about how much but you even quoted it has added 0.5% (which even that is pretty low) to the CPI. That is not insignificant. So I'm not really seeing what "point" you're trying to make with your r-slurred "hurr durr inflation isnt affected by government spending" r-sluration.
Post income and degrees so i know if I'm wasting my time on a dumbfrick poor btw
