It's so sad.

The fact is that the act of printing money is NOT what leads to inflation, but scarcity. Now, printing money and putting it everyone's hands at once CAN cause scarcity, which then leads to inflation, but it is always and ONLY when people cannot gain access to a product that a bidding war errupts and prices increase.
The causes of the scarcity are legion, but at the end of the day, it is the scarcity and the bidding war that cause the increase in prices.
If the United States government printed $10 trillion dollars tomorrow and handed it over to the Ukraine, do you know how much inflation the regular American would see? 0, none, nada, nothing, UNLESS the Ukraine began buying up the products or interfering in the production of products, that American's would otherwise have access to. It is a simply fact of economies...
I get it. More money = inflation is a very easy to sell and buy theory. The problem is, that even billionaires can only consume so much bread, so many eggs, and so much gasoline... They also are not clamoring to pay $200 for a dozen eggs just because they have the cash or $400 bread.
Houses are not expensive in California because people have lots of extra money, houses are expensive there because of limiting of the construction of housing for instance. Too few house means pricing wars. When there are large egg laying die offs of hens, too much money in the system is not what leads to $7 eggs. Scarcity does.
The part of not letting people work is correct, that was part of what I said about the destruction of the global supply chains. Shutting down all those businesses had long well known consequences, and that is the disruption of the production and delivery of goods, the shuttering of businesses permanently and so forth, and the end result of that is going to be scarcity...
2020 was the time the government was spending the most, and there was lots of deflation at the time, because people were hunkering down and saving their money as best they could. Only when they came out of their stupor and started demanding the same quality of life as they had before did the inflation begin to happen. Again, due to scarcity, not access to money.

Money isn't printed and put into a vault somewhere, so it's a safe assumption printing money does cause inflation - no matter how many words you use.
As for 2008-2020. As long as innovation and efficiencies are keeping up with the money you are pumping into the economy you won't see high inflation. However, if the money wasn't printed we should have seen costs of goods decrease as technology offered many improvements to the supply chain during this period. We didn't because of printing money.
corporate greed and inflation are also contributing factors, though
but most people drink too much soda, so maybe it's for the best
It's so sad.

Sure, the Stop&Shop near me is still $5 but that's corporate greed taking advantage of people not paying attention. Consumers need to keep them honest. Same for gas, used cars, etc.

Too many let their politics effect their economic decisions. Unemployment is low, wages are up, stock market is booming, inflation back to long.term average of a little over 3%. Those are measurable numbers not feelings driven by angry politics. If angry politics made one get out of the market in 2021, you missed making a lot of money: https://www.macrotrends
(Note thats a log scale so the $500 ticks are not evenly spaced,)
Soda? I drink less of it (Tyler's lemonade at Dollar tree is great) and wait for Walgreens or Target sales.
Good luck!

I am glad to be wished happiness but bluntly you have exactly zero idea of my circumstances but you are as confident of that as you are of your economics.
In any case, Walgreen's currently has 7up 3 for $12 with a $1 coupon. Use Welcome25 for 25% off with a new account and that should be about $2.75 per 12 pack. Pretty good in our inflated world.

Peace and enjoy some 7Up.

The problem is that we're need the burger, fries, and Coke trifecta. Without soda, we break the fire triangle. Soda is the key to it all.
Next is to quit the pairing. Cheetos and soda. Pizza and soda. Popcorn and soda.
(The trend of dipping your food in sauce is also bad, but I'll save that for a ranch dressing deal.)
