The cause of inflation is excess money to chase goods. Corporations profiteering is a symptom of excess money chasing too few goods. (Wage growth is also a symptom of the same problem).
So until the supply chain is improved again we need to reduce the amount of money to stop corporate profiteering and wage growth which is driving inflation.

How does a supply chain issue (like groceries) affect that though? Higher cost of spending by corporations driven by an increasing rate just gets passed onto the consumer no?
