How did people not lose money during the pandemic, besides being stupid rich? The one piddly payment and unemployment I got from being laid off was way less than my normal earnings, so the cost to survive had to eat into savings and go onto credit cards. I still haven't recovered.

Personally, working from home provided huge cost savings. I was also able to drop my personal phone to a bare minimum since I was always home and on wifi.
I took on a second job.
HOLD THE FUCK ON.
"Pandemic Savings"
That is a hell of a fuckin way to say "Profiteering"
Hold up. Top 20% in US is only about $130k. Fairly easy for a dual income house to make.
Not exactly the sort of people who are profiteering off others.
I'm just below this bracket and have increased savings from the pandemic.
I go to work everyday and don't want to profiteer off anyone.
