      Some of those 23% are profiting greatly from this disaster; however, your statement still holds true.

        Honestly, barely.

        I would bet significantly less than 1% of that 23% are better off in 2026 than they were in 2024-2025

          The other people - probably about 22.99% - probably consider themselves just temporarily embarrassed centimillionaires.

        profiting or not, thinking that costs haven’t increased is either sheer stupidity or willful ignorance. Costs have increased, that’s a fact. Doesn’t matter if you’re still profiting from it, things cost more.

      They are either too rich to notice, or too stupid to care. But I agree with the point on procreation.
