This is all fine and dandy, and I'm sure everyone means well, but it still doesn't explain why I'm the one left without money, or why I'm expected to be blaming "Rusty" instead of "Amanda" who actually took the money he left me.

It's more like "Dear George, thank you for donating this money to our cause that I'm sure you agree with or else. Sincerely Amanda."

Not sure how I'd feel about that, regardless of how I feel about Ursula, Suzy, Natalie, Faye, Denise, Izzie, Romina, Molly, Trudy, or any of the girls in my class.

If you're talking about inflation, we had a multi-year pandemic in which the western governments gave aid to struggling businesses, inoculated their population for free, supply chains were severaly disrupted, etc...

The war in Ukraine didn't cause the inflation (I think), although I admit it probably made it worse. I think it was the other way around. The prospect of inflation caused the war in Ukraine. Russia thought with all the challenges we would face, we wouldn't react to an invasion in Ukraine.

I'm not an expert in macro economics, so do you think there wouldn't be an inflation if Russia didn't invade Ukraine?
