Why is everything so expensive? 

I had a family dinner recently and lots of ideas were thrown around including corp price gauging, supply chain issues, etc. I’ve always been convinced it is primarily money printing / inflation. 

What’s the actual reason why everything has increased so dramatically?

it’s everything but starts with money printing

free money leads to all other problems

So it’s like:

📁free money 
 └📁spend instead of solve
     └📁lack of skills exist so in crisis there are no skills to deal with actual hard issues 
          └📁politics remains finger pointing/ppl look to politicians instead of themselves 
               └📁 jealousy of those who get money leads ppl to only crave money creating other societal problems
