We just spent $100 for lunch at Chili's. Would Chili's ever lower the price of their hamburger to pre-inflation prices?

They will have to when competitors have lower prices. And new business start popping up giving better value.

It's basic economics: The ratio of supply vs demand determines prices

Lower supply / Higher demand = Prices rise 📈
Higher supply / Lower demand = Prices drop 📉

Market competition tends to always increase supply, therefore reducing prices

Money itself has a supply and demand curve so the other side of the equation is the monetary supply and money velocity. MV=PQ. This is how Milei is halting inflation in Argentina by restricting money velocity. He is doing that by limiting ATM withdrawals to $45 a day.

Economics 101. Supply and Demand.

I bought Thomas Sowell’s book, waiting for it to arrive.

Good choice. Competition is the backbone to a great economy under capitalism.
