Not evenjust that. The way this started was that there were some cases where Covid shutdowns.and things started leading to reduced supply/increased costs, so prices for stuff went up. Companies started massively abusing that to raise prices everywhere and keep them up. That led to inflation, which provides smokescreen for more price gouging, leading to more inflation.
“Supply chain issues” is what keeps getting bandied about. True or not it’s just another wonderfully convenient corporate excuse for constant price-jacking.

Yeah. There are no more excusable supply chain issues. 98+% of that is gouging (which may actually be in the supply chain itself, but still)
