Would love to read more about this because my understanding is that the increase in M2 money supply is a big part of the current inflation (very simplified - it's way more complex when looking at money velocity and supply chains in general).

Exactly. It's obvious how printing money out of thin air induces inflation.

Current inflation is mostly supply-side driven. Having said that, M2's biggest jump in its history was in early 2020 (see https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/M2SL). Its slope before and after is more or less the same. However, I don't think inflation will lag it by more than a year.

My rent went up $300 a month...is that supply-side driven?
