Nailed it.. inflation is godsend for corporations as they can raise their price above inflation and just blame on inflation as the root cause of everything

Also the fact its usually from government stimulus, and the CPI dramatically undercounts real inflation. Rent up 50%, food and restaurants up 50%, yet somehow inflation was only 20% the last 5 years according to Stats Canada.

Goods prices rose, our government does mass immigration to keep salaries depressed; this turns into economic growth as more people are employed for less money and we're all individually poorer, as capital shallowing is occurring due to central planning.
