At least they are now finally talking about the end of the pandemic so maybe you should let it go too!

Nah, it's the first time they've finally admitted the end is in sight, and it is about that 2.5 years pandemics can take to disappear. Been over here for 6 months.

Worse than ever. Because of the war.

Or are you going to keep pretending the war has nothing to do with inflation in energy and transport and food costs?

Can you explain how past covid lockdowns in Europe caused recent increases in energy costs? Im going to predict you arent even going to try.

Right. So the war isn't the cause of recent inflation in energy, fuel, transport, food, fertilizer? And yet in your initial posts you tried to lump them all in with caused by covid until challenged?

Inflation in what sectors started trending upwards? And in what sectors is it surging now?

Your economics are as all over the place as your science, and are utterly self serving and disingenuous.

In my previous post I said:

Can you explain how past covid lockdowns in Europe caused recent increases in energy costs? Im going to predict you arent even going to try.

And I was right.

Calm down? I don’t need to calm down at all Lol. Look up sarcasm in the dictionary you might learn something.

BTW i don’t give a monkeys about studies anymore because as far as I’m concerned covid is over. It’s hard to know what studies are not misinformation these days because there’s so much bollox out there. So you and your friends on here can post all you want about any study you want because i don’t really care. 😆😉

What was inflation before the war, and what was inflation after the war started?

Third time of asking and third time you'll run away:

Can you explain how past covid lockdowns in Europe caused recent increases in energy costs? Im going to predict you arent even going to try.

You made an utterly disingenous attempt at posting about inflation, trying to cast all inflation as due to covid.

They are scrapped on planes to and from the USA too. Just flew back from California on Aer Lingus and masks weren’t needed.

The energy crisis began a year ago.

Supplies were tight after the so called lockdowns. Then when everywhere opened up supply was tight causing higher costs.

Not sure if anyone mentioned Sam McConkey on Morning Ireland this morning.

The interview had a feeling of 'well the pandemic is over, isn't it' and to be fair to Sam he didn't argue much to the contrary.

I think it's safe to say it is now over. My workplace has packed lifts again, and we are all allowed to sit as many as we want to a table in the canteen. Great to be back to normal again.

Probably no need to be seeing Sam and the likes of Luke O'Neill again , but I think the latter got addicted to publicity in the end, so may shoehorn his way in somehow.

No one is denying the war has had an impact on energy. It was still rising by March and would have kept rising but the war did make it worse. The problem is you won’t acknowledge or want to know that the coronavirus and lockdowns had also caused an energy crisis. It doesn’t suit your narrative. I guess when you’re a die hard lockdown advocate denial tends to set in. You clearly don’t want to know about any inflation pre war. Why is that?

Before the war diesel had already jumped approx 30-40 cent a litre.

It seems to have dropped significantly in September going by your graph despite the war still going on.

Yep they were. Talking about recent inflation and not mentioning the war until challenged is implicitly doing this.

"Die hard lockdown advocate" I dunno what strawman you're talking to there.
