I think you can tie portions of inflation from COVID back to the supply chain issues coming out of China.

But mainly because of all the stimulus packages. fricking assholes.

There’s no doubt the China supply chain shortages exacerbated the US economic downturn but our government panicked and made the situation far worse than it should have been.

Correct. That's what got it started.

The last one - right after Biden was elected - was almost $2T. That was responsible for AT LEAST 3-5% of the inflation we are currently seeing now.

And don't forget - he wanted $6T.

That's the obvious answer. Just look at the auto market. There are hundreds of thousands of new vehicles already built, just waiting on chips from China. Prices of limited supply of new vehicles skyrocket. Which makes used vehicles prices skyrocket.

Agree here too. Remember Trump bucks?
