      We see inflation all the time. Every country that ramped up the printing during covid also saw increased inflation. Most countries stop printing before hyperinflation, we can even see in real time with Argentina that stopping the printing slows the inflation.

        moving the goal posts: we were discussing hyperinflation, and now you’re saying just inflation.

          My original post literally mentioned both, it’s not moving the goal posts at all. Printing money leads to inflation, printing even more leads to the end state of hyperinflation.
