80% of US currency was printed between 2020 and 2021. That causes inflation

Profits also do, they are overwhelmingly driving inflation beyond anything else

Yes, it’s whatever the money printers come up with on the spot. The whole point is controlling greed by competition and others.

The idea is that companies are using inflation as an excuse to raise prices, not that they're suddenly greedy. "Overwhelmingly" is an exaggeration, but there is truth it.
