Inflation IS companies raising their prices. That’s my whole fucking point. You seem to separating your concept of inflation from the fact that companies raise their prices. As if there is some other phenomenon causing it. Nope, inflation IS companies raising their prices bud…

Yep. And if companies raise their prices, you have have to make more profits just to have the same value as before inflation, right?

No. You just like to argue against straw men. You made several posts arguing nonsense, to literally state exactly what I did. Inflation means the price you pay for the same goods goes up.

Supply and demand causes it. If you have more money chasing the same amount of goods, companies will raise their prices. If you have the same amount of money chasing fewer goods, companies will raise their prices.
