It's absolutely not luck and you are betraying an ideological point of view. It's obvious you never studied economics and you're just sitting here parroting partisan talking points. Anyone with common sense is aware of the Ukraine invasion being inflationary on European energy supplies, and knock down effects on things such as grains and fertilizers and other commodities. But those of us with a background who understand the dynamics of inflation knew this in 2021 long before Putin invaded. It's simple math:
Inflation is a product of money supply and monetary velocity. Money supply was already grossly inflated and monetary velocity was quickly gaining steam as the vaccine was rolled out.
You should ask yourself if you have any idea what you're talking about before adopting a negative tone in the future. Frankly it personifies Dunning Kruger arrogance to attribute a simple mathematical prediction shared widely by experts to luck. Projecting your utter lack of expertise on this topic on to everyone else is ridiculous.

Imo, to the point of being negligible. The price of energy is a fundamental input to the global economy. When the price of energy goes up, the price of everything goes up as a supply shock. I don't think you're a dumbass for thinking otherwise. I do think you're a dumbass for asserting whatever this mess of a post is. Citing "a simple mathematical prediction shared widely by experts to luck" is pretty dumb as well. Economists are hardly a uniform entity. Do you truly believe I could not find an equal army of qualified experts with differing mathematical predictions? Circling back to you think you're more qualified than Yellen, mr kroog. Look out. Bachelor of Science in economics over here. this guy wrote code!
