Inflation is a combo of things: - different things inflate at different rates (housing faster than laptops) - corporations pushing pricing for profits - stimulus checks - PPP loan fraud that never had to be paid back - supply chain choke points limiting the supply of stuff - people borrowing aggressively (high credit card and student loans) at low interest rates - student loan forgiveness - government deficit spending accelerating - probably some more I can't think of at the moment Basically, it's complicated.
