@nonoise the guy who you are probably talking is unfortunately correct. Inflation is caused when too much money chases a limited supply of goods and services. COVID may have crimped the supply chain, but it was and is GOV that is printing money right, left and in-between - making any accumulated money you and I may have worth less.
I am not trying to start an argument by saying that current gov policy is "bad." However, I am saying that it is definitely inflationary.
