Supply has been our primary inflation driver, which the FED has mishandled, but I also don't think they saw wage hikes as a contributing factor. Maybe the layoffs and bank failures will get their attention.

After two years of inflation potentially fueled by wage growth, we're seeing layoffs increase by nearly 400% since last year.

Here we go! This could be the perfect storm that brings down the market or even the economy as a whole. Runaway inflation is their reasoning behind it. That is the old fashion text book response, but is it the right one? Current inflation seems to be more severely affected by supply chain and labor shortages than the low interest rate environment. I am not saying that rates don't need to eventually go up, just that there seems to be more going on here than just a heating economy caused by low interest rates. The spike in consumer prices for example is directly corelated to the supply side of the supply to demand ratio problem that we are currently experiencing. This is obviously caused by the inability to obtain products needed to manufacture or do just about anything, and/ or the labor shortage or shipping limitations that are at unpresented levels. I just don't think that we fix or get inflation under control until we focus on the real supply and labor disaster that is causing runaway inflation.
