Another thing, which I also mentioned early in the Biden years, is the price gouging ("inflation") by many corporations was a deliberate political ploy to make Biden and Democrats look bad.
Which unfortunately Biden and Democrats doubled down on by talking up the "Biden Boom" and basically ignoring the cost of living crisis for everyone in the lower half of the economy. They could have at least aggressively campaigned against corporate greed but they opted not to.
Investors were doing great!
