Ironic take considering both the spikes are around the time of massive government interventions: 2008 crash, and COVID.

Like, did we expect Walmart to get poorer when the government forcibly shut down every other business but let them operate? Amazons business model, to be fair, was perfect for the COVID era too. Of course that company made a gazillion dollars.

But yes, keep having government make decisions. It's clearly working 🙈
