> if we all have 3-10% more money and things are 3-10% more expensive

Who has 3-10% more money, exactly?



Anyway with money invested in inflation-hedged assets.

Also anyone with a wage since wages rise with inflation too (not always and not always immediately, but generally correlated).


Not abstractly. Specifically, in the United States, since COVID.

The parent reply hand-waves away a point about bad policy by making an abstract point about inflation from money-printing, as if citizens of the United States are molecules in a thought experiment about the laws of physics, as opposed to individual people affected in specific (differing) ways by policies.


Not the people with savings account
