How come no one can give a straight answer as to what causes inflation?

I have a feeling the tiny hats know but they're deliberately confusing the public so they don't find out.

Printing goddamn trillions of dollars out of mid air to give to rich people and corporations. Also deficit spending, seems topical.

Still not sure why miscers give Trump a pass for this

It's very simple.

This particular bout of inflation was caused by breakdowns in supply chains and injecting way too much cash into the economy.

Printing money for mega corps has mostly bipartisan support. It's a republican backed effort, if anything.

Jew trickery aka quantitative easing aka backdoor tax

If you want to know what quantitative easing is, it's basically a rebranded form of money printing.

in b4 it's not money printing
in b4 but muh balance sheet

Fuk right off. Quantitative easing is essentially the same. They're pulling money out of thin air. You raise the amount of money in circulation, you cause inflation.

all governments throughout history have found a way to debase the currency in order to fund their particular brands of corruption

eventually the currency itself fails

we're getting fairly close and will experience a free fall when we fully lose reserve status/the petrodollar srs

This is a scare tactic invented to trick people who aren't smart enough to understand how the Central Bank system is set up worldwide.

it is either inflation, or austerity. Result is same: making a whole nation to work harder. For the nation (US or Canada in our case), as a whole, have slacked for too long, wanted more goodies for less work.

Austerity, historically, have always fired back at the ruling class. Therefore, inflation is about the only option.

Nothing to worry about.

The real question is why does gold even have value?

It's a miracle there's a monetary system at all. How does one decide what the U.S. dollar should be worth relative to the Mexican peso?

Supply and demand, just like everything else.

Heavily manipulated supply and demand. China literally just fixes the value of their currency. And the US didn't build the world's most powerful military by a factor of 10 just for funsies.

Well yeah, but there are consequences elsewhere.

Not that China has much choice, what else are they going with the billions of US$ they get?
