It seems like this inflation is not broad-based:

“In the quarter to August used cars, hotel rooms and airfares made up less than 5% of America’s consumer-price index, but together accounted for the majority of overall inflation”

If we’re having inflation due to a tiny number of goods having large price spikes, it might be too early to predict disaster
