During the pandemic most people didn't have the option. Or risk getting quarantined someplace.

But to the OP I kinda agree. "Diesel is too high" - Person blowing black smoke out of a lifted F-350.

Your sense of humor is misplaced. You're also a weak troll. Can you do better?

I went to Europe twice during the pandemic, I think I maybe caught rona once when I had to go back in to the office this year.

Maybe I'm an idiot, but if a bottle of water used to cost $1, the consumer would spend $1.

With inflation, the bottle costs $2, so the consumer spends $2.

So, the consumer spending is increasing.

Seems like a logical conclusion, no?

Inflation means consumer spending pretty much has to increase. The numbers just get bigger all around.

No.

The bottle is $1 and the consumer buys one.

The bottle is $2 and the consumer buys two while complaining.
