100%. My wife thinks I’m crazy, but every issue she observes my answer tends to have its root in covid.
An economy is an ecosystem and it’s been seriously knocked out of balance by covid, annd the fuel issues aa a consequence of Russias war hasn’t helped either. Everything that was, no longer is.
You’re not crazy and don’t let your wife say that to you, since it’s clearly ignorance or possibly rationalization to justify her positions during that time. People will rationalize immensely just to avoid having to admit they were wrong in general or also possibly that they contributed to their own consequences.
Don't worry, we know each other well enough at this stage. From her point of view I think she's tired of me relating every issue to covid (which is mostly correct).
But you're right, people can get caught in their own filter bubble, build walls and be defensive, rather than open their ears to a second opinion.
