The U.S. economy shrank by 3.5 percent in 2020 as the coronavirus pandemic ravaged factories, businesses and households, pushing U.S. economic growth to a low not seen since the United States wound down wartime spending in 1946. Less demand for goods and services equals lower prices.

By contrast, economy grew by 5.7% in 2021(almost 7% in the final quarter). This increased demand and drove up prices. The price of bread was also affected by Putin's War cutting off Ukraine wheat from the market.

Years ago, I met a psychologist who had survived a Nazi Concentration Camp as a young girl. She taught me to not give in to "the little Nazi," we all have inside. It is possible, and quite healthy, to not like someone or something without hating either. Expressing criticism and disapproval are not signs of hate. In fact, our parents, teachers and clergy use these communications to contrast what we are doing to what they think we should do. People whose hearts are filled with hate have a hard time understanding or accepting this philosophy.

Now consider this: is there more trash talk on the modern left or on the right?

You know the answer.

Let me see...How many left-wingers come on my Meme thread and trash me? I can't name a left-wing social media site and a whole cottage industry of right-wing sites litter the horizon.

That comment makes no sense. Why would any left-winger trash you?
They are, by definition, on YOUR side Larry.

How is that YOU know about all of these so-called "right-wing" sites than the people you call "righ-wingers" do? I have never heard of them.

Only an extreme-right winger would lump me in with Progressives. In 2016, they called me a GOP-member, because of my moderate-liberal positions.

Have you ever heard of Steve Bannon and his allies in right wing social media?

Who are you talking about, Larry. Where and when did I "lump" you in with Progressives?

I didn't think it was a serious question. But a straight "One side is the worst," answer is hard to find. I did find a Cato Institute study quoted in The Federalist. You might like the conservative sources, but not the conclusions:

"Self-censorship is on the rise since 2017." (What changed that year?)
"It’s up 12 points among progressives (30-42 percent), and up 7 points among centrist liberals (45 to 52 percent), moderates (57 percent-64 percent), and centrist conservatives (70-77 percent). Only staunch conservatives haven’t changed much."

"Also, consider how the question was asked. Respondents were asked if the political climate prevented them from saying things they believe because others might find their ideas offensive. It did not ask if standards of decency and politeness prevented them from being rude."

"Also, centrist liberals flipped from feeling free to express themselves (54 percent) in 2017 to now feeling they no longer can (52 percent) in 2020."

The opponents of "staunch conservatives" feel more targeted, while they don't. Draw your own conclusions from that data.

It is... it's just that you didn't want to acknowledge that it's the leftist media churning up the hate rhetoric in the US...
