  Source for this? Going by inflation rates, even just food, it looks like we're at 20-25%. That's still a lot, but it isn't 50%. https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/food-inflation#:~:text=Food%20Inflation%20in%20the%20United,percent%20in%20June%20of%201921 https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/food-inflation#:~....

  Not according to the calculator on https://www.bls.gov/ https://www.bls.gov/ where $100 in March 2020 is $116 in March 2023 Lumber alone is $380 now, about the level it was in 2019. I'm old enough to remember the gnashing of teeth on this forum when lumber prices were unsurprisingly super high in 2020 and how that meant inflation on everything was really high. I assume the same people will be claiming the opposite now and that deflation is a major problem

    Nobody predicts hyperdeflation.
