And the recent heatwave? The last argument with my brother was so over the top it did permanent damage to our relationship. Upon reflection I do wonder how much heat had to do with it.
inflation then widens wealth parity gap and social media reminds individuals to take risks they cannot afford and so on....
inflation causes stock prices to rise and factory outputs, exports to rise leading to more energy consumption.
edit: i think i know why your brother is mad at you
