Yep... putins relatively fresh war is guilty for a year of price increases due to massive printings of money... CNN!
Otherwise, what i find most sad is, that people are cheering the printing of money (because they get handouts), but "in the end" (which is very soon after the handouts), they lose the same amount of money in price hikes everywhere due to inflation, and large corporations (so the ones that get the "free money" from the people to sell them stuff) profit in the end.
Also the propaganda machine is helping the pumping-up the prices... first they talk about the higher prices of everything because of this and that (covid, putin, war,...), people then expect higher prices, and even if the current wholesale prices are still low, the sellers will raise them, because the media told the people that the prices will go up, people blame putin (and not the stores), and why not take advantage of the situation?
