Free (as if anything is) COVID money contributed to inflation only because the feds borrowed money from the Treasury by selling bonds and expanding the money supply with newly minted dollars chasing demand with little supply. Works every time it's tried, Keynesian brillance meets Modern Monetary Theory for an epic crash and burn.
Just went to Costco today.....my Lord...everything is through the roof. I hear that inflation is going down, but I don't see it.

Holly Hunt Fabric Lounge Arm Chair | eBay
Very nice light grey fabric Holly Hunt designer lounge arm chair. Pick up from our warehouse in Saddle Brook, NJ.ebay.us
And all of that fancy, expensive furniture eventually will go to an auction and sell for pennies on the dollar. Might as well buy Ikea and throw it away when you're done with it.
In the end, we are all just renters, we really don't own anything.
