What's your take on Biden's statement and Bezos's comment?

Bezos is right. Inflation can only be caused by whoever "makes" the money. It has nothing to do with wealth, and arguably inflation hits the rich and the poorest the hardest. And the government, and government employees the least. Only the Fed, US government, and counterfeiters has influence on inflation.

This isn't the first inflation rodeo, so smart businesses jack the prices up now, so that they might save up reserves to make it through the storm. And that's probably a good idea.

If Twitter is going to have fact checkers which takes down misinformation, they should probably take down stuff like that. Though I'd rather they didn't have fact checkers.
