I think that’s pretty optimistic. There have been a lot of threads on here about inflation and how ours isn’t just as simple as “Fed twists interest rate knob to fix” - there are serious demographic and geopolitical forces underlying (e.g. COVID contracting labor supply, Russia war, China randomly still dealing with COVID, related supply chain shit). This is similar to the 70’s energy crisis. I do agree with your discomfort around the “inevitability” of stocks going down, but really if you look at it, only growth/tech is down severely while traditional consumer stocks are holding pretty stable. There could be a lot to lose on those if we do get a layoffs-heavy recession complete with deflation or liquidity issues.

All great points. I run the supply chain/manufacturing design for one of the big tech companies and many costs are below pre-pandemic levels. They just haven’t been reflected in actual costs yet because it takes 3-6x months to work through inventory (purchased at a higher price) and production LT to flow the lower cost goods through. 
Air shipping is just about as economical as ocean shipping now since there is so much air shipping capacity with demand being way down. 
I lived through all the aspects of inflation while trying to maintain our operational leadership and prices skyrocketed and labor was tight, but it’s come down just as fast as it went up. 
However I agree that the main variable here is energy prices - but that can’t be fixed with the fed, that just needs time to play itself out.
