I never said it’s no longer a possibility. Just that for every news event that happens, there is an immediate chorus of “inflation!!!!” no matter the circumstances. Some economists argue that there is indeed considerable inflation right now- except it’s in financial assets owned mostly by the wealthy, like the stock market trading at high P/Es, housing (inflated in multiple countries, not just the US due to easy credit). There was also a headline recently that VC investing is record high at the moment. So there’s inflation, just not in consumer staples.
