Why can't we shake the gloom? It's more than inflation or higher prices.

I don't mean to diminish your comment, which I agree with very heavily. I just think that you (and others) would find it interesting to know that I looked it up, and apparently that "Cree proverb" is neither of Cree origin nor all that old. It was seemingly said by Alanis Obomsawin, an Abenaki woman (Canada First Nations, I believe?), and first published in 1972.
Regardless of origin, though, it's extremely poignant and applicable here.
