And a great deal of that inflation is due to supply chain issues from the pandemic so it wasn't really an ideal experiment.



Yes, I don't really get why this often gets dropped. I would assume inflation goes down next year if the supply chains get better again.

A lot of the inflation I saw in the pandemic was perishable products where the supply was cut in some way or another. As long as people that want it badly can afford more they'll pay more for it. This is inflation, but it's not clear whether the money supply or the supply chains are the reason. The money supply was high in the preceding years as well, not leading to such high inflation.
