is it due to:

A. The fact that less people worked and produced things this past year because of novel, unproven government countermeasures to the coronavirus.

B. The result of inflation from the unprecedented growth of the money supply by the Federal Reserve at the direction of the government.

C. The end period of the Austrian Business Cycle Theory due to years of historically low interest rates, in which entrepreneurs of higher order goods (like homes, buildings) borrowed a bunch of money and are now bidding up the dwindling stock of available inputs.

D. One large sandwich combining A, B, and C and doused in government sauce.
