 Rising consumer prices was primarily the result of logistics disruptions, not monetary expansion.

Stack your sats.
Stay humble. 
 Logistic disruptions for sure. But cartel practices also. 
 Disagree. Inflation was too and in many cases services inflation rose faster and earlier than goods inflation, so much so that they were concerned about a wage price spiral. 

 
 This was all fake-news. 
 Copped out from showing data, or are you expecting me to bring my own receipts?  
 You haven't bothered to bring counter-data, either. 😂

Cuz it's work. Takes me hours to drag this stuff together, you know.

I've given up responding to SAUCE? comments. 
 Energy inputs aren't going back down any time soon, the changes are mostly structural and ostensibly permenant.

And energy is in everything... 
 Not in the US. It's both, but inflation in the dollar supply has already taken over any pricing disruptions from supply issues (that were mostly intentional, IMO).  
 The dollar supply is shrinking. 
 It is not. It is growing less, but that's not the same thing.  
 +1 for the US. The local real estate and stocks shot up regardless of the logistics inputs. 
 I said "primarily", not "exclusively". 
 Not to be that guy, but what’s your source for this? 
 Follow me. I regularly publish data. 
 I do 🫠 the last few things you’ve posted have been in German which I haven’t bothered to translate yet. I guess I could scroll further down your wall, but nothing immediately hit me as logistics related. 
 I'm a ceritified freight-forwarding agent, but I'm not working in logistics, anymore. I just follow the topic, as a hobby, now.
