there is no such thing as fake inflation. you can dislike the reasons for it but it doesn't make it fake. in this case the reason is too much cash in the economy as a result of government policy resulting in higher demand. just because corporations get to take advantage of higher demand and reap profits doesn't make it not inflation. this is why so many people are against these constant government handouts and fed money printing policy. it's not because we dont want johnny unemployed to pay his rent. its because handing out dollars to everyone inevitably results in higher prices

I’m willing to go out on a limb and back up the claim that corporate profits completely outweighed the government handouts. 

Take a look at the top 500 companies in the world and how they smashed their profits year over year since Covid. 

The perfect excuse to cut employees, hours, and maximize the workload on your legal slaves. All because you can blame it on the rise in pricing and supply chain shortages. 

Inflation is a government tool for control of the masses and it’s used to keep their lobbying friends happy.
