Red/Blue politics aside, I'm fairly certain the inflationary issues you're seeing today can be root caused to loose fiscal policy from the Trump era. Biden inherited those issues and can be held accountable to fixing them, but not causing them.

I think what they mean is "let's do this like a blameless postmortem" not "let's pretend that no one has ever done anything wrong."

If we can't be like, "hey the current state of affairs can be traced back to X, Y, Z" without the implication that whoever did X, Y, Z is literally Satan then it's no wonder we never get anywhere.

A blameless post mortem that blames someone and doesn’t identify what actually went wrong?

Look, it's a two sentence comment, you're reading the blame into it. Saying that Mark pushed the change that caused the outage isn't blaming Mark.

Saying that Trump (the original author, doing his best) thought that looser fiscal policy was a good idea and that Biden (the current maintainer) has to be the one to course correct due to unforeseen consequences isn't blame unless you take it as such.

It's caused by there being a pandemic and a war.

It’s silly to ignore Covid. This was going to happen regardless due to an unstoppable pandemic.
