Ultimately, America had more dollars repaid to them than the Covid contraction lost, and corporations saw that, took advantage, and jacked up their prices.
"The auto industry was unable to make nearly enough new ones and jacked up their prices."
Not at first. Initially, they thought NO ONE WOULD EVER DRIVE AGAIN, and offered sweetheart deals. The bride and I had a salesman drive 46 mi to let her test a Crosstrek (nope), and another 46 for a Forester, which we chose: 5 yrs, no interest.
Shortly after that, the market freaked out, and prices jacked up.
The bride actually praised me for timing the market so perfectly. In truth: luck.
That, and I was pissed at losing $30k in the markets over Covid. I would rather've had a new car, I remember grumbling to myself.
" You libturds actively promoted a guy to run the country that YOU KNEW had a broken brain and was a pedophile. Why did you do this? Because you value power over fixing the country."

... you know it's PROJECTION.
