I won’t comment about your other topics, but I’ll point out that current inflation is far from “maxed out”, at least in mature Western democracies with their own central bank and currency. ~9% is high historically, but inflation has run hotter in the not-so-distant past.

2% inflation is not a natural state of affairs, it’s a target that’s considered the “appropriate” amount of inflation.
