If so, how do you invest to protect from this?

Not if we exclude “the volatile food and energy” sectors.

Printing money is inflationary.

It’s more money in a system for the same amount of goods.

Put your money in market and it will go up with inflation

Hard assets, real estate, commodity based stocks, energy, financials are all items the "Pros" mention when talking about inflation protection.

Yes. To what degree is a subject of debate, but you don’t want to be left holding a giant bag of liquid cash with no assets in the event that it’s higher than expected.

Invest in appreciating assets. Real estate, index funds, precious metals and crypto to an extent.

Yes, they already have. CPI excludes the everyday sectors that are seeing the inflation.

Don't hold cash. Invest in appreciable assets. Bitcoin.

Don't buy into the whole gold crowd. Look at the historic trend of gold and you will see its just as volatile. S&P index is all you need.
