>supply chain problems or availability

If supply chain problems or availability cause prices to go up, that's still inflation. They might call it transitory inflation or whatever, but they won't say "well that's just supply chain problems so we won't count it for this month".

I see, guess it was a bad question. In the context of this discussion the comment chain seems to be talking about money supply as being the source of inflation. Seems like there's different types of inflation. I see some other comments trying to clarify that too
