The real reason prices have been rising lately, and the last two years in general, is because the DS is losing it's traditional revenue streams, so now they're rattling the chains they have in all the assets they have under their control to raise money to stay afloat.

The truth is, this is the nature of the economic system we are in.
Let me explain. We are in a system driven by Central Banks that create unbacked fiat currency. Everytime they print money, we have to pay them interest for that privilege. If you look at it mathematically, the only way to pay them back and pay the interest is to ask them to print more money. So they have us by the balls.
As you keep printing, its a vicious cycle, each time needing to print more and more. This is why in the last 2 years US Fed printed as much money as all the amount combined for the past 90 years.
As you keep printing money, the prices will naturally go up causing inflation. Simply put, every new dollar printed devalues every dollar already in existence.
The sole purpose of the economic and financial system is to ensure no one notices this. This includes price manipulation using short selling, derivatives, metal price suppression, keep changing the way CPI is calculated, introduce useless hyped stuff so extra money finds its way there (think smart phones, environment crap, and even crypto).
What we are seeing is this whole house of card reaching its expiry date, and as the inevitable collapses comes near, they have to find excuses - including Pandemic, War etc.
