Dad: It's so stupid how the Right is blaming Trudeau for inflation, as if there aren't other factors.
Me: He is literally reaponsible for all of it.
Dad: Huh?
Me: He printed 25% of our entire current monetary supply over three years to "pay for Covid". Effective inflation on essantial goods like food and gasoline is 25%.
None of it would have been possible without the money printing.

Dad: Oh...
Dad: ...well, why is it happening everywhere else?
Me: Because everyone else also followed the advice of the WHO.
How a lot of people think it should be.
Sit at home, hand me free money. Print more if needed. Repeat, just keep free money coming.
