Forgive me if I'm being thicker than the offspring of a village idiot and a TV weathergirl.

I do not know if I am the crazy one or gaslighted so hard that I start questioning myself.

I see normies blaming corporations for inflation.

But I know they can only change supply and demand and can't print money to cause inflation.

Or is there any way they can cause inflation?

@Stahesh Inflation rate is a measure of how fast prices go up or down. While companies decide the price of their products and services, it usually reacts to market conditions.

However the bulk of the inflation in Western countries comes from government spending habits: if taxes aren't enough, they will print additional currency to make up for lack of budget. Once the gov spends that money, it hits the market at once with more money supply and at a fixed demand, hence the devaluation.
