that is the biggest bunch of BS I have ever seen. We are still paying way over the baseline of 2019.
Prices are never getting back to 2019 levels just like in 2019 they were never getting back to 2015 levels. Prices go up in a fiat system. The crisis part was when they were going up 240% and that’s over.
