In the case of the recent wildly sharp increase in consumer prices is caused by lower supply of goods... not by increase of money supply.

If the demand stays the same, the supply goes down... then the price will go up.

It's pretty common sense if you think about supply and demand, but I am perplexed at the amount of people that don't practice any critical thought, let alone skepticism.

> caused by lower supply of goods

can you give an example of what specific types of goods?

Semiconductors, shipping containers, tampons are some high profile cases. Examples are plentiful
It's the price of milk, bread, and meat that is causing CPI to rise. Not PS5s.
