To common saychel: No, I am not nuts. Last time I filled my gas tank and went to the grocery store was this morning. I don’t like the high prices any more than anybody else.
When was the last time you studied economics? The economy is measured by far more than food and gasoline prices, and the US economy is currently strong by most measures. Inflation is cutting down the value of some of the economic growth, and high gas and food prices are in part a serious consequence of Putin’s war on Ukraine.
One other thing: common sense is a fall-back when we do not have sufficient education or expertise to discuss a matter knowledgably.
