Not to poopoo your point too much but inflation only happened after covid because a recent war gave justification for greedflation. You can't really argue money is losing value when CEOs are raking in record profits during an economic downturn.

It happened because a large number of people had a pool of unspent money, some/much of which was the stimulus packages, who were competing for similar goods such as housing.
