What is occurring here is not inflation. We are told that inflation occurs when there is is an excess in the money supply and money circulation.
But how could this be when most people are struggling and not getting pay raises to match the rate of price increases? If there is too much money in circulation then it suggests that average people have a big wallet and are willing to pay above the normal rate for a good or service.
There may be more money in the hands of the rich, but if it's not in the hands of the people then its not "in circulation". According to what we are told about inflation the prices are rising higher and tuned towards what consumers are willing to pay with the increase of circulated money supply. If it is not with those consumers then we can't say that there is more money in circulation that is causing the price increases.
Just think about it. The narrative that there is too much money in circulation is nonsense.
What is actually occurring is artificial scarcity of energy, causing all prices to go up in all sectors. Electricity, gasoline, and other fuels have all seen sky high prices largely due to purposeful government regulation. The government is causing the crisis and are lying to us that it is inflation.
The question is, who is doing it and why. Keeping with Q mythos, I find it likely that the White Hats are using this as part of the "We must pass through the darkness, to reach the light" plan.
Higher energy costs by design yes.
But also, check the housing prices. 2019 vs now. 2, or 3x in some places? Why? Who's buying?
The ones that GRAB THE PRINTED TOKENS FIRST do. I.e. the deep state insiders. They get the printed dollars first and buy stuff up so the rest of the prices go up as a result.
It's a wombo combo. There are at least 2x the dollars in circulation now than in 2019 (and this happened on Trump's watch mind you). That AND the higher prices which are partly due to the doubling of the $ and partly due to the anti-energy policies of the satanists, plus the embargo on the russians, is what has caused this fustercluck.
But there is no denying that the overdrive printing has caused the stupid prices. And unbridled greed in many cases. A scoop of ice cream for $8 is not 'energy', it's just greed. The seller knows the AFFLUENT buyers are flush in tokens (from the printing press) so he is ok selling to them, at those prices.
Who cares about the plebs?
This is called brazilification and it is the result of massive inflation theft AND tyrrany/oligarchy.
The topics you are talking about are unrelated. This topic of inflation and energy costs affecting prices most directly relates to generic commodities.
The only ice cream that costs $8+ a scoop are at designer ice cream outlets that advertise designer brands with custom topping options. This is a special thing, which also existed 10 and 20 years ago. The costs of this type of ice cream is more related to consumer psychology -- selling the 'event' of eating the ice cream in a desert parlor, and is less related to inflation or energy costs.
Housing prices been increasing drastically every decade since the 1980's. It is a dynamic that is not directly connected to inflation. People are not earning more over the years to match those increases, and nor are they earning more to match the increases in the past few years. When you buy a house you are not using the money in your present wallet, but what you promise to pay in the future. The banks act as gatekeepers for what they will allow you to borrow to finance your purchase. The banks can make mistakes in being too loose with the loans, which can cause a housing bubble and increase prices, ultimately crashing the housing market, as what happened in 2008.
