Is it really better than 2019? Pre-COVID and pre-War?

What war? This conflict in Ukraine is not the fight of anyone other than Russia and Ukraine.

The war worsened inflation by interrupting energy, grain, and critical element trade involving Russia and Ukraine.

This is not the worst situation to ever take place. There were two major continental conflicts which took place in Africa during the 90’s and 2000’s. The wide ranging impact of these conflicts is largely ignored.

Our world is not an easy place to live. Just because there is a war in the (marginal) west, please don’t think that this is the worst conflict that has happened in recent times.

The world is currently not a better place than 2019, and will take some time to recover from the mismanaging of the COVID pandemic in the US and in Europe. Similar to how it took time to recover after WW1 and WW2.
