The issue I don’t see talked about is the removal of the reserve requirements for banks during Covid. They did that for liquidity reasons.

However that allows bank A to loan 100% of their money to bank B and 100% to bank C.

This is extremely problematic. And now with bank failures they are too scared to put it back in place.

Just this concept alone creates huge inflation.

Banks still have a required capital ratio. Covid slackened that a little bit, but banks very much still have reserve requirements.
