@AtlRey In Joe Biden voice: Here's the thing man, the IRA isn't really going to reduce inflation that much, but as inflation spiked, a bit higher than expected thanks to Putin and his war, as predicted in the spring/summer of '22, it will also fall as predicted in the late fall/winter of @AtlRey '22/23. The IRA is actually an environmental and tax bill that places the funding of environmental change action on corporate America and rich tax scofflaws, as it should be.
