Inflation is not up 4x in the last 10 years...

Depends what you measure. I already said it hasn't been affecting wages or consumer goods and that's weird.
Very, very few things even in isolation have inflated 4x in the last 10 years.

But as for this

> why is all the money printing remaining in the rich person's realm instead of trickling down?

Always has been, it's kinda one of the defining features of capitalism

The assets in the S&P 500 have, that's what was brought up.

Right, but that's a separate thing from inflation, so I don't think you can describe it as "that's just inflation".
Prices going higher is the definition of inflation.
Prices of stocks going higher is not the definition of inflation, no.
