Is it from the couple thousand stimulus checks or is it from the billions companies got for free?
was inflation mostly in industrial equipment or consumer goods?
Inflation was also in service sector (eg. restaurants jacking up prices due to cost of labor). Before implementing UBI, let's have an alternative system for jobs like janitors, restaurant workers, mall/retail workers etc.
Doesn’t one trigger the other in a vicious circle?
Increase in production capacity triggers inflations of end product prices?
increase of price for industrial inputs (petrol, chips, low stock, supply chain costs) should have a large impact if im not mistaken...
That is driven by consumer demand though.
