The tone of your comment is intentionally antagonistic, but I agree with the underlying concept.

I think we can see inflation as a direct result of excess globalism, especially lean supply chains, and changes in underlying customer demand, i.e., the basket of products consumers are wanting was different than pre-pandemic. All of these are supply side problems, but it seems to reason that at least part of the pent up demand is a result of new consumer cash. I'd argue it's a political scapegoat though.

Tone policing is arbitrary and without its own oversight. Defund tone police!
