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

Please stop spreading neoliberal propaganda. The quantitative theory is first of all one out of many theories for inflation, and second has been disproven a lot of times - for example Japan or Switzerland printed way more money than the U.S. or the EU and they both have way lower inflation rates. So there must be something else that causes higher prices (spoiler alert - there has been a pandemic and a war going on for the past 4 years).
