This is a big insight to what we thought that we know but clearly, it's not the case. What watching this did for me was challenge a lot of what I assumed about money and banking to be but now, I know better. The real engine of inflation have always been powered from lending and bond-buying.

I've come to the acceptance that inflation is something which can never be fixed in any country. It's always going to be there, getting worse as time goes on.

This is certain with our current monetary system based on debt an infinite amounts.

Another thing is for certain, all inflation is government caused, it is a policy, not a mysterious phenomenon they don't know how to fix.

Facts! It's just like how the way with Iran caused more inflation than what we were all struggling with before. Everything became very costly immediately because of high cost of oil when Iran refused passage through the Strait of Hormuz.

The question is since they can fix it because it's a policy problem, why are they not doing it? What are they benefitting from inflation being so high with cost of living very expensive for most people?

It allows them to spend beyond their means. If they cared about the cost of living of their people, they would only spend what they brought in in taxes. Corrupt money corrupts people.
