You actually justified my use of the word always in your entire post. An increase in the money supply is what makes fiat currency. When the money supply increases, that does not mean that goods and services automatically increase. It does mean that more people have more money and they compete for a present amount or anticipated amount of goods and services, driving up prices and devaluing the dollars purchasing power. Hence cryptos, gold, the rush to hard assets, etc..

Woe woe woe woe, unto they that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

... I've had many, but a couple of the most significant:
... I fully expected the country, politicians, media, and just fellow citizens in general to rally above differences, like following 9/11, focusing on what was best for the country and holding China accountable...my mind was changed when a deadly pandemic was shamelessly used as a political tool to continue dividing the country.
... I did not think so many Americans, and churches above all, would so blindly and uncritically acquiesce to the government and surrender liberties and freedoms so easily, and continuing to this day...again, mind changed.
... I trusted scientist/medical professionals and the science/medical communities to remain committed to truth and not fold to political / government pressures...they began losing me with their response, or lack thereof, to the BLM riots...and unfortunately, they continue to disappoint and change my mind to this day.
...one of the only constant and non-changing beliefs, is how pathetic the media was before the pandemic, and continues to be equally if not more pathetic to this day.

The lack of balance and unashamed - even celebrated - advocacy and gaslighting in the media is a primary driver of extremism.
You forgot race which would also be interesting to see.Rankings of states for covid deaths per capita, after adjusting for age.
It does not adjust for variant, SES, or population density.
States Ranked by Age-Adjusted COVID Deaths
Cumulative age-adjusted COVID deaths per capita by state, updated weekly. The Pacific Northwest, Hawaii, and Upper New England have fewer COVID deaths.www.bioinformaticscro.com
Florida and Arizona ends up looking better, but Texas ends up looking a lot worse. #2, between MS and AL.

That is a very peculiar definition of fiat currency: an increase to money supply.
By your definition, Spain's 17th century gold coinage was a fiat currency, because money supply increased.
Conversely, the completely unbacked 1981 US dollar was not a fiat currency, because money supply shrank.
I take it you learned your economics from a YouTube channel?
More evidence of the upside down, backwards world we live in.
I couldn't care less about the opinion of an athlete, actor/actress, "journalist", fictional puppet. Facebook poster, etc. Whether I agree with them or not. I certainly couldn't care less about the opinion Bill Maher because all of a sudden he agrees with me. I find it comical how some on the right love to point out when he agrees with them, like some how he has credibility. He's an unprincipled POS, although I do enjoy his show on occasion. (Sorry for the tangent)
Those of you (if any of you) who though vaccinating 5-11 year olds would be an offramp got played for suckers. When they say the quiet part out loud: some Covidians want kids masked for maybe a year or two more.

You're not alone in your lack of understanding of money. The masses, you included, don't understand that Fiat money is a government-issued currency that is not backed by a commodity such as gold. Fiat money gives central banks greater control over the economy because they can control how much money is printed. Most modern paper currencies, such as the U.S. dollar, are fiat currencies.
Age corrected data for overall covid deaths:
Of the 20 worst states, 16 fall into the “mask optional, vaccine optional, reopen early” camp.
Three of the other four are East coast states which got infected early and returned known covid patients to nursing homes.

Cases are definitely seeing a noticeable uptick in California. Interior areas are getting hit the hardest, but there's been a definite uptick in heavily hit and masked Los Angeles and heavily vaxxed and masked Bay counties as well.

It makes no sense. They dont need a vax.
And I am amazed at the mindset that someone has a vax, but they want others to be vaxxed.
Either the vax works or it doesn't.
But the mindset of many is like the guy who wrote that article talking about his fear going to the wedding. Then making his kids sit 20 ft away from him at home before he bailed to stay somewhere else.

How are the ages "corrected"?
for the record, I think there is no doubt we'd see a higher death rate in lower vaxxed states. But that belies the question of what "vaccine optional" means...technically with the Biden order there is no vaccine optional state, or you could argue that even California is technically vaccine optional.
Further, that doesn't mean there's correlation with masks or reopening. The reopening part is also a bit of a die roll....depends if you timed it when seasonality kicked in for your area (such as NY at the beginning of the outbreak). Though isn't it interesting Florida despite the evil Ron DeSantis and his no masks, early reopening did not make top 20???
The other interesting thing from this chart is some of our richest and poorest states are in the top 20.
The guy in the article doesn't seem to realize he's more upset by the blue state and Covidian restrictions once he caught his cold than the cold itself. The only rational thing in the article is apparently he or his family saw his MIL during the time period...well if you really are worried about your elderly and you just went to a wedding and a cross country flight, why the F would you see your MIL?????
