It is caused by this

And supply shock, and wage growth, and tons of other things. You literally said "inflation is an increase in the money supply"

Inflation is not growth in the money supply, money supply is one way that inflation can occur, but the basis of inflation is the increase in nominal costs of everyday prices.

Honestly I don't see why buying data on the open market is illegal. I think it shouldn't be legal to sell it but it is. I'd prefer nobody have access than the NSA pretend they don't see what anyone else can buy.

Because it's not a conspiracy theory - there was an impeachment trial about this.

It's a great reason until there's an alternative. As long as voters look to gas prices for their votes, taking action that raises them is politically toxic.

Meanwhile leftists are literally criticizing the Biden administration for high gas prices' impact on the working class.

You want to change it? Let's change it. Starting with activists.

Unfortunately we proved just before the midterms that there's a very linear inverse correlation between gas prices and perceived job performance. Refilling the strategic petroleum reserve is electorally smart. Until activists can detach these electoral relaities nothing will change for anyone.

Yeah that's the painful part. A backup would be key here

Or they're not willing to pay what it takes to bribe the right people to make it go away

I remember I got into an argument on reddit awhile ago with a person over Italian food. It got to the point they were following me into other subs to harass me. I clicked on their profile to block them and their most recent post was them drinking their own piss on r/piss. At that moment I realized I had spent so much pointless time arguing about the taste of food with someone who drinks their own piss as a hobby. This site is a shit hole.
