As time moves on there's a shortage or price hike on computer chips, oil (food), wood, plumbing supply cables,........ You can either say inflation is on the rise or try to explain each thing separately why this individual item is effected and its not a general inflation issue
Most products you'll see the same pattern, Covid shut down production, people being home + stimulus increased the demand, = supply down demand up price goes up
Isn't that inflation?
