I own a couple of retail businesses. Through Covid I saw supply chain problems move pricing on the retail side. Now, I'm seeing wholesale prices change week to week on products with little past fluctuation. Some of this can be attributed to unusually high demand for freight as economies re-emerge, and tight labor markets. I fear that these reasons however, are hiding immediate inflation problems being signaled in commodities and by a parabolic monetary supply. What happens when prices increase 30% after existing inventory is depleted?

You are seeing some costs now. By Q3 of this year things are going to get a lot worse.

Right. Wait until we see hyperinflation take hold. Remember seeing wheelbarrows of cash being brought into a store to buy a roll of toilet paper. If you think this is not happening and where we are headed, i've got some land to sell you on mars.
