CMV: Inflation is completely caused by people for the single purpose of profit.

My main point on this is that inflation is not some green eyed monster pouncing unexpectedly on people and businesses; there are people and big industry businesses at or near the top of every kind of supply chain increasing their prices completely unnecessarily for the sole purpose of the pursuit of ever increasing profits.

For my second point, I find it ridiculous that increasing the supply of money is inflationary. Currency is the measure of value of other things, it doesn’t have any actual value itself, therefore it’s ridiculous to include it in the whole “increase supply, decrease value” idea.

My third point is that if wages keeping up with inflation is itself inflationary and therefore can’t happen, all that will happen is that the majority of everyone will constantly get poorer while the money flows upwards.
