I am certain inflation is much worse than what's being reported, but I don't think it's 2,000% (which is about how Lithium has "inflated" in that time range)
You are right. Its not as much an indication of "real inflation" as it is an indication of systemically rigged markets.
[Edit: Nevermind this comment was in this very thread lol] I saw a post I think on here recently that mentioned that politicians likely invested a ton in Lithium stocks then made many subsidies and regulations to encourage sale of electric cars thus causing an artificial lithium shortage so that they all profit indirectly and with deniability. Pretty plausible if you ask me
